All that glitter, all that gold at Creatures of the Wind SS2016

What else could have started off NYFW if not a major beauty look courtesy of Aaron de Mey? Think about an explosion of gold glitter and black eyeliner. Think it bold and bolder. Now, that's what they ended up doing backstage at Creatures of the Wind: using NARS CosmeticS, the makeup pro created three versions of the black eyeliner and glitter combination. Some models simply wore black liner, thers had black liner and gold glitter up to their brows, while others had a double liner in black and gold.

How to achieve the prettiest paired-down makeup seen at Nina Ricci Fall 2015

Backstage at Nina Ricci, makeup artist Aaron de Mey created the prettiest, paired-down makeup looks of all the fashion month. Models were meant to look very defined, very sensual and perfect at the same time but not super made-up, so De Mey opted for a less-is-more approach achieved with a lot of layers to look really natural.

Nel backstage di Nina Ricci ha preso forma il make-up look au naturel più ricercato di tutto il mese della moda. Aaron de Mey, a capo del makeup, ha puntato tutto su un trucco definito, sensuale e perfetto ma al tempo stesso non troppo costruito e ha optato per un approccio less-is-more fatto di più strati invisibili.

Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks @ Kenzo AW14

For Kenzo’s AW14 show, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon convinced David Lynch to collaborate with them: after two seasons inspired by the filmmaker’s great works (especially Twin Peaks), this was was finally directed by him. The result has been a spectacular mix of mystery and emotion that has been seized upon by beauty-wise Aaron de Mey and Anthony Turner.

Per l’AI 2014 di Kenzo, Carol Lim e Humberto Leon hanno collaborato con il regista David Lynch per la realizzazione della sfilata. Già nelle due stagioni passate gli stilisti avevano fatto riferimento alle sue opere - con attenzione particolare a Twin Peaks - ma quest’anno, sono finalmente riusciti ad avere lui stesso a dirigere lo show. Il risultato è stato un mix di mistero e sentimento che è stato colto al volo da Aaron de Mey e Anthony Turner.

Fragile girls and anti-cosmetic beauty @ JW Anderson AW14

Nothing happened backstage at JW Anderson. Absolutely nothing. The look was almost anti-cosmetic, but it was done on purpose. Beauty inspiration was Virgina Woolf and girls had to be very fragile and poetic.

Ispirato a Virgina Woolf, il beauty look portato in passerella da JW Anderson per l’AI2014 è stato volutamente inquietante.
