Makeup Transformation: White Eyes and Nude Lips

Posted by ChickAdvisor Team | Monday August 15, 201151 comments


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.

Kind of hard to wear.. I would say it's good for evening if you can pull it off, and I think that these two are best worn seperately, not together.

I liked it on Alexandra and Tasha, but not on Jenni. It looks OK on Tammy, but the before was better.

It's all bad - the non-runway looks are much better.

I'm not a fan of the look with white eyes, it's not for everyone.

I love nude lips but the white eye makeup is dated in my opinion. It "in" when I was in high school which was long ago. lol. But I do like the look of a little shimmer on the inside corners of eyes or maybe just white eyeliner on the lower waterline of eyes.

Love the look for evening, but not for daytime. It really makes the eyes bolder and brighter. I remember using white eyeliner, but just in the corners.
