Fashion Week Australia Spring/Summer 2013-2014 officially kicked off today! And at Camilla and Marc, the collection was layered, vivid, textural, opulent and inspired by the Russian Matryoshka doll. “We went with something a little more progressive for Camilla and Marc. We’ve lightened the brows on the girls with foundation for a modern effect. It’s all very creamy and nude! I feel like the brows have injected freshness into a typically very classic beauty look. The skin is very clean, with an understated contour and a simple nude lip.” explained Napoleon Perdis, lead makeup artist for the show.
Prime
To prep the skin for extra hydration, use two pumps of Auto Pilot Napoleon Complex Skin Renewal Serum. Massage into the skin with sanitized fingertips or use Flawless Foundation Brush g18. Using Flawless Foundation Brush g18, blend Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer over the entire face. Spray two pumps of Auto Pilot Moisture Mist over the face and allow the mist to set onto the skin.

Achieve a flawless base with Boudoir Mist Spray Foundation. Begin in the ‘feature focus’ area (the triangle of features – eyes, nose & lips) of the face and work in a circular direction for a perfect finish. Using the The One Concealer, conceal the under eye area. Conceal any blemishes or skin discoloration with the appropriate shade of Mighty Concealer Pen. For best application results, use Full Coverage Brush g12. Set your foundation by dusting Camera Finish Powder Foundation over the hot spots of the face (forehead, nose and chin) using Finishing Powder Brush s25. Lightly set around the eye area using Contour Brush 16b.

Wash a blend of Eye Pencil Brown Sugar through the socket of the eye using Sculpting Brush 10r. Ensure to contour the inner bridge of the eye. Wash the pencil straight across the socket of the eye when contouring, ensuring the finish is still smooth and blended.

Pat Prismatic Eyeshadow Quad #4 Nude onto the mobile lid ensuring a stronger application on the mobile lid and inner corner of the eye.

Cheeks
