GET THE LOOK: Flawless Bare Skin with Laura Mercier

The buzz around NYFW hasn’t settled down and I don’t expect it to for quite sometime. The trends that these ladies rocked on the runway are truly amazing. From negative space manis to the flawless makeup looks I have been loving everything that I have seen. A lot of these looks are things that you can start wearing now and you’re not bogged down by Spring colors that won’t play well with the season. I wanted to share a few of my favorite looks from the Jenny Packham and Pamela Rolland shows.

Pamella Roland Spring/Summer 2015 Runway Show //  Look created by Matin Maulawizada for Laura Mercier

Pamella Roland’s inspiration for her 2015 Spring/Summer collection stemmed from “The Gardens of Kyoto Japan.” As an ode to Japan and cherry blossoms, lead makeup artist, Matin Maulawizada for Laura Mercier, created a fashion-forward monochromatic look. He was inspired by a “Geisha-esque” image of American model Guinvere van Seenus photographed by Steven Meisel. The final look was “effortless, but dramatic.”

FACE: Flawless, youthful complexion.

  • Mattin first prepped the skin with Laura Mercier Repair Eye Serum, applying it on the t-zone, underneath the eyes and on the cheekbones to illuminate the skin.
  • Next, he massaged Laura Mercier Foundation Primer into the skin to create an even canvas.
  • He then dabbed Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide in one shade lighter than the models’ skin all over the face to provide lightweight coverage.
  • To eliminate any puffiness and to brighten the under-eye area, he applied Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer. 
  • Lastly, to ensure the makeup stayed in place on the runway, he swept Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder, over the entire face.

CHEEKS: Fashion-forward cheeks

  • In order to create the exaggerated cheek look, Matin applied Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Stick Face Colour in Bronze Glow,  to the tops of the cheeks and around the eyes.
  • On top of the Bronze Glow, he applied Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Rosebud,  outside the eye, on the temple, brow bone, in the crease of the eye, lightly under the lash line and high on the cheek bones, steering clear of the apples of the cheeks.
  • He then used Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Oleander, under the eye, in the inner rim and on the cheeks, to soften them.
  • Lastly, to highlight the cheeks, Matin brushed Laura Mercier Pearl Glow Veil, part of the Bonne Mine Palette, over the lid, the brow bone and high on the cheekbones.

EYES: Defined brown eyes

  • First, Matin applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Cocoa at the lash line, blending it up and out and also around the bottom of the eye.
  • He then swept Laura Mercier Baked Eye Colour in Hot Chocolate, a Sephora exclusive, on top of the lids, adding the shadow to the outer corner of the eye and emphasizing the line of the eye to frame it.
  • For the final touch of glamour, he added Laura Mercier Faux Lash Macara in Black, and filled in the models’ brows to create a strong brow.

LIPS: Soft, rosy lips

  • To complete the look, Matin applied a layer of Laura Mercier Lip Glacé in Bare Baby as a base.
  • He then topped the lips with Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Rose Petal, focusing on the middle of the lips and applied Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Oleander on the sides and outer corner of the lips.

Jenny Packham Spring/Summer 2015 Runway Show //  Look created by Talia Shobrook for Laura Mercier 

Jenny Packham’s Spring/Summer 2015 Collection was inspired by legendary actress Marilyn Monroe, whose “images have, with their technicolor intensity, created this season’s colour palette.”  The new collection evokes many of the most common adjectives used to describe Monroe – demure, confident and unmistakably seductive. The show’s lead makeup artist, Talia Shobrook, also channeled the icon in the creation of her look. Her vision is a “flawless bare” face, a modern take on Monroe’s look to showcase a healthy, beautiful flawless face.

FACE: Flawless Face

  • Talia prepped the skin with Laura Mercier Moisture Crème Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen, generously massaging it into the model’s face to awaken her complexion.
  • Next, she applied Laura Mercier Foundation Primer to create an even canvas, and then covered minor skin imperfections as needed using Laura Mercier Secret Concealer.
  • To highlight the cheekbone, Talia applied a combination of Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Linen and Laura Mercier Moisture Crème Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen.
  • Lastly, she used shades from the new Laura Mercier Contour Kit, exclusive to Sephora in January, and Laura Mercier Moisture Crème Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen, to contour the cheeks.

EYES: Mysterious eyes

  • First, Talia applied Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Ginger, in the crease of the eyelids.
  • Next, she swept Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Truffle, on the lower lash line and the upper outside corner of the lash line, flicking it out very slightly.
  • She then used Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Linen, all over the lid and underneath the eyebrow.
  • Lastly, Talia rimmed the tear ducts with Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Pink Opal, and filled in the models’ brows, customizing the shade to each girl to ensure a natural look.

LIPS: Natural Lip

What do you think of these looks? I for one will absolutely be rocking the flawless face look a lot this year! I need to get my hands on those gorgeous blush shades, how about you?

    I love that the models are going for a more natural or bare look- as yea most of the time they just look freaky I think.

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

“Since the pandemic, violence against women especially domestic violence has intensified” @unwomen⁣

While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣

Drug dealers get longer sentences than rapists. ⁣

Breonna Taylor’s murderers still haven’t been arrested. ⁣
⁣
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣ ⁣ 1 Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣

9️⃣ If I won the lottery I’d buy a tiny house in the middle of nowhere ⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

🌟 I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to hear a fun fact about you!! 🌟 ⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
