Dick Page for Shiseido & Aveda at Band of Outsiders

The amazing Dick Page is one of my makeup gods ( yes I went fangirl when meeting him,  finally, after  not making his shows for several seasons. He was extremely gracious) . As creative director for Shiseido he keyed the makeup for several shows  . I  hit up the backstage for Band of Outsiders.

 Each season they do a boy-girl, and a girl-girl look. He explained the looks aren't that different but the boy-girl has less makeup. The overall effect was to be fresh and sunny with flushed cheeks and swipe of color down the bridge of the nose along with a sweet lip in a new shade coming this spring ( really good new lipsticks alert).  Many of the products used will be new for Spring including the cheek color which is a cream stick and that lipstick for the "girl girl" look . That's one that  I definitely want come Spring.

Aveda did the hair  in messy  updos and  tousled waves which complemented the sunny , carefree look perfectly.  Didier Malige created two looks: whirled waves for girl -girl and a textured, tousled chignon for girl- boy, using Aveda Brilliant Retexturizing Gel, Aveda Air Control Hair Spray, and Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion .

The makeup Mr. Page used :

Boy-Girl Look

FACE
Dick prepped each model’s skin by applying Shiseido The Skincare Multi-Energizing Cream.

After moisturizing, Dick applied a wash of foundation to conceal any blemishes or redness.

For cheeks, Dick blended a combination of the Shiseido Makeup Accentuating Color Stick in Rouge Flush (S4) and Glistening Flush (S3) together on the inside of his forearm. Using a wedge sponge, he applied the cream blush mixture directly on the cheeks. Taking a blush brush, Dick blended the blush on the skin, focusing on the cheeks and bridge of the nose to create a “slightly sunburned” effect.

No powder or concealer were used on the face.

EYES

Dick applied the Shiseido Makeup Accentuating Cream Eye Liner in Black (#1) to the top lash line and in the lower water line of the inner eye.

After the eyeliner application, Dick brushed the Shiseido Makeup Perfect Mascara Full Definition to the top lashes only.

Dick created a custom brow for each model by mixing together the Shiseido Makeup Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Sable (BR709), Patina (GR707) and Leather (BR306) and applying the combination to a clean mascara comb to finish the look.

LIPS

Dick applied the Shiseido Benefiance Full Correction Lip Treatment to hydrate and condition the lip area.

A wash of foundation was added to the lips and blotted with a damp base sponge to remove any natural color.

Girl- Girl Look :

FACE

Same as above


EYES

There was no makeup application on the eyes. However, Dick did comb out each model’s lashes with a mascara comb.

Dick created a custom brow for each model by mixing Shiseido Makeup Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Sable (BR709), Patina (GR707) and Leather (BR306) together and applying the combination to a clean mascara comb to finish the look.

All the shade combinations were inspired by Page's travels and photos he has taken, according to an interview with WWD.

There are 7 palettes including Snow Shadow, and Opera. The formula includes "micromatic color pigments to reflect light and create vivid, translucent shades" , as well as Super Hydro Wrap Vitalizing DE, for improving dryness, and giving eyes an all day moisturized look, as well a dual optimizing powder for all day wear.

These look quite pretty, especially the 3 shades of green one.

Shiseido for Michael Kors Fall 2010

One of my absolute favorite makeup looks from the fall 2010 shows in New York was the one at Michael Kors. You can't deny that the models simply glow. It featured golden beauties as opposed to a deep lip. I don't really do the bold lip seen so often during these fall shows, but this gold/bronze combo perfect.

I'm especially in love with the blush and needed to track down what it was. It turns out Shiseido and the amazing Dick Page were responsible.

The details per Women's Wear Daily and Shiseido, including a look at a new fall palette launch :

"We’re doing a simple, sporty, Michael Kors American beauty,” said Dick Page, working with Shiseido at the show.

Products used:·

EYES:
Dick blended together the Accentuating Color Sticks in Bronze Flush (S1) and Glistening Flush (S3) to create a warm, bronzy shade; he then applied the color all over the eyelids.

· Dick then brushed the Luminizing Satin Face Color in High Beam Gold (BE206) over the eyelids to create a “halo” of color.
· Next, Dick used a fluff brush to apply the dark-bronze shade from the Shiseido Makeup Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio in Opera (GD804)* along the upper lash line and up through the crease, following the natural eye shape. A large fluff brush was then used to diffuse the color.
· To line the eyes, Dick took the charcoal shade from Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio in Fire (OR302)* and slightly dampened the edge of the shadow for intensity. Using a small liner brush, Dick used the damp charcoal color to line two-thirds of the upper lash line and the full bottom lash line.
· Then, Dick used the dark-bronze shade from the Shiseido Makeup Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio in Opera (GD804)* to blend over the lash lines to soften and diffuse the color.
