FALL 2009 FASHION WEEK - Backstage Beauty at Todd Lynn

SHOW: TODD LYNN MAKEUP: TERRY BARBER FOR M.A.C BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Tilda Swinton in a remake of Mad Max that's set in Siberia – an ecclesiastic natural beauty 

THE SCOOP: There's nothing forgiving about skintight black leather pants, but they sure do look hot on models with impossibly skinny, long legs. Paired with body-skimming jackets and sky high Louboutins, London designer Todd Lynn's collection was certainly chic, if a bit grim in its austerity. Terry Barber's description of the makeup inspiration for the show followed suit: "Imagine Tilda Swinton in a remake of Mad Max but set in Siberia – ecclesiastic natural beauty." Though that reference is a bit obscure, it's not lost on me as I look at the models' pale, matte skin, peach-rimmed eyes and grey-tinged lips. Grey lips are an emerging trend we've been seeing at both NY and London Fashion Week. It'll be interesting to see it this trend continues, or if it makes it off the runways and on to our lips. GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: Barber brushed M·A·C Pro Loose Powder in Peach along the lower lashline and applied it over lids to set the concealer creating a "tired peach" lid. Next was M.A.C Pro Eye Pencil in Pale Yellow drawn into waterline and between lashes, which were combed through with Select Cover-up Concealer. Lip Conditioner blended with Eye Pencil in Ebony were applied to the lips in a thin, sheer layer.
