Makeup Transformation: White Eyes and Nude Lips

Posted by ChickAdvisor Team | Monday August 15, 2011

Have you ever noticed that runway makeup looks great on the runway, but doesn't really apply to real life? We copied Alexander McQueen's beauty look for his Fall/Winter ready to wear collection. His white eye liner and nude lips make the models look ghostly and also a little ethereal. How do you think it looks on us?

Jenni usually wears her black cat eye liner to the office. Her nude lips blend well, but we think it would look a little better with a smokey eye.

Alexandra wasn't a fan of her white eye shadow and liner. But you can't deny, the white in the inner corners brighten up her eyes.

Tasha's white eye shadow was hard to see, unless she looks away from the camera. We like that her nude lips still have a hint of pink. But she thinks the white eyes should be balanced by a bold red-orange lip.

Tammy's white eye liner makes her eyes appear bigger, while her nude lip stick makes her full lips disappear. Don't ask why, but when we did her makeup we thought Tammy reminded us of the Asian Ganguro makeup trend.

What do you think of our runway inspired look? Let us know before August 21st for a chance to win a prize.

Tammy really pulled the look off well... but as I've mentioned before I haven't been able to find the "perfect nude" for my skin tone yet so I'm not sure how it would look on me. I've done the white eyeliner look with red lips before, and I liked that! It's probably a trial and error thing.

All white liner is too scary and nude lips are good if there's a little natural pink in them. Otherwise, white lines and nude lips are like dead walking people. WAAAAAY to scary!
