This fall, go bold and edgy -- it's all about metallic highlights, matte red lips, winged-out eyes and defined brows.
Silver-plated
 | If John Galliano's Wild West diva is not your style, Grace Lee, a M.A.C Pro Team senior artist, points to Alexander McQueen's more romantic, ethereal version of this metallic-silver look. (See image at left.) Brush a pale liquid foundation on moisturized skin. "Start with the forehead and blend, using downward strokes," says Lee. Opt for a soft-pink cream blush and blend it into the hollow of the cheekbones. Highlight the top of the cheekbones in shimmering silver. "This look is all about contouring with colour and highlighting in silver but in new areas -- not just the cheekbones but down the bridge of the nose and in the bow of the lip." For the eyes, mix silver highlighting powder with grey shadow and a touch of lavender. "Place the colour on the upper and lower lash lines and blend for a soft, diffused look." Dab a raspberry lipstick at the centre of the lips and blend out. "It should look like you've been eating a purple Popsicle." |
 | "The look [in the John Galliano show, as at left] was Gothic American Wild West -- think Civil War meets Marilyn Manson. We mixed purples and tons of greys all around the eyes, plus white mascara to create a big, smoky eye. The girls looked amazing!" --Pat McGrath, global cosmetics creative design director, Cover Girl |
