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.

I'm not a big fan......I dunno...maybe because I think this was big about 15 years ago!?!?!

This is a pretty harsh look, hard to pull off. I think Alexandra looked the best in it.

I wear a bit of white liner in the inner corner of my eyes most days but apply very lightly. All ladies look good but remember it doesnt look good on everyone, if you have the confidence to wear it..go for it!

Have to say I'm not a huge fan of the look. The white can brighten up the eyes but for some reason I does look a bit off with nude lips.

They look great in the photos, but I have a feeling that it looks pretty artificial IRL.

I like the way that Alexandra wore the look, however I honestly love it on everyone :P The white brings attention to the eyes and opens them up, and of course the nude lip is just one of the most wearable lip colours around.

It doesnt seem to quite suit all skin tones/hair colours etc.....but I do really like it on Alexandra! The other girls looked washed out but the white really made Alexandras eyes sparkle.
