This Autumn, pops of colour, gloss on cheeks, eyes and lips and dark lips are all on trend. We spoke to M.A.C senior artist Carole Mackie for some insider tips.
- Strobing: The is basically highlighting the face’s best assets to maximum effect. “Everyone loves and looks good with a highlight,” explains Carole. “As makeup artists we’ve contoured and highlighted the skin for years and now we have new innovation in products that allows us to create a different type of dimension on the skin. Highlighting by adding luminosity that catches the light and looks like real skin rather than a strip of white sitting on the surface.”
- Colour Pops: For Autumn there’s even more makeup happening – just applied with different techniques and new palettes of colours. “Think of nature and you have it!– I’m seeing a lot of mustard, khaki, and greys on the eyes, muted earth tones with either matte or cream textures in organic shapes on the lid but still with individuality, so it’s a shape that’s unique to each eye that feels natural, not contrived.”
- What colours are in: “There’s a fun 70’s and 80’s feel to colour when night falls,” Carole says. “With bold complementary colours on lips and eyes and also modern worn in eyes that are a fresh take on a Smokey eye.”
- Eye Gloss, (but how do we do it?): Glossy eyes were all over New York Fashion Week. Carole explains how to take the plunge: “Apply M.A.C Prolongwear Paintpot, Kajol Liners or any waterproof, smudge free product over the lid in your chosen colour and dab a little M.A.C Studio Eye Gloss across the centre using your finger, try not to go too far up the eye lid as this will make the lid a little too sticky and not as comfortable.”
- Yellow (yes, yellow): Carole explains: “I’m actually loving yellow this season – it’s super easy to apply this modern colour in a more natural way. Try M.A.C Satin Eyeshadow in Golden Rod applied softly over the whole lid using a #224 Brush for a sheer wash of colour. For a bright burst of colour that is not overdone –use M.A.C Chromagraphic Pencil in Primary Yellow- draw along the lash line and blend with a #219 Brush”
