Painting your face for Fashion
Would you go out of your house with no makeup?
To avoid taking attention off of the styles and new trends designers choose to have nude makeup such as the nude lip, flushed cheeks, and minimal eye makeup. By the look of the picture below, would you want to go out flushed out like that?
When the outfits are calm and collected, the designer tends to stick with the theme and the make up is nude and calm as well. Doesn’t that sound dull. Why have the makeup and outfit be all the same? But in fact it does make sense. In some cases you want a well put together look that is all on the same page. When looking from top to bottom at the model, you will peruse through the face down to the shoes without a problem.

The eyes and lips are huge when painting the face of the models. Just glancing at a models dark cat eye or popping red lips says it all for the outfit. It tends to intensify the mood of the show and also make dramatic entrances when showing the collections. The girl below, from the Christian Dior Spring 08 collection looks fierce sporting the leopard dress with makeup as dark as night. For this night, she is the god of seduction.
It also makes consumers be more aware of what can be placed on the face and makes them more daring after looking at the collections.
