Philipp Plein Fall/Winter 2019 Makeup -Backstage Beauty Files

Arianne February 15, 2019February 15, 2019

Once again designer Philipp Plein delivered and it wasn’t just the fashion that we noted. During the Philipp Plein Fall/Winter 2019 show models strutted in designer fare fit for a rodeo king and queen. However, this season the makeup vibe accompanying the couture; hit more on the low key, fierce beauty register.

Philipp Plein Fall/Winter 2019 Makeup -Backstage Beauty Files

Instead of full Rockstar face, the models displayed edge with a nice helping and dose of deep black eyeliner. Backstage the girls all received what is infamously known as the “cat-eye.” A liner classic that helps to pull the eye look outward, giving the wearer a cool thinner, sexy eye appearance.

Now while the eye was certainly dramatic; for the most part the rest of the model’s faces were kept ‘au natural.” Thus, only making the cat-eye stand out more. We think this is the perfect balance and harmony of a chic makeup style.

Therefore, for once (Lol); this beauty look is one that translates well IRL. Can worn with day and night looks. Also, works whether you are rocking with a causal or more formal ensemble.

Lastly, in terms of technique, we spied that lipstick was being applied with brushes and dabbed with fingers. Why is that significant? Well, using a brush when applying lipstick can help the finish to last and stay put longer. Additionally, by dabbing lip color on with your finger you have more control over the level of coverage you want.

Guess what… Your favorite supermodel is indulging in a skincare holy grail and we are letting you in on the secret! We are talking the Victoria Secret girls; and more are doing LED Light Therapy for Anti-Aging and Acne and the results are nothing short than FABULOUS!

If your goal is super smooth, renewed looking skin then this is the facial treatment for you. It’s great for those of us who may have screwed up in the skincare department over the years. Fallen asleep in makeup? Guilty. Don’t own serums? Charged.

Some of us have not been perfect and have been doing good just to wield a bar of soap and moisturizer. Well, take heart. It is NEVER too late to make changes that can REALLY make your skin glow and healthy like never before. Just take a page from all the famous models; yes, they get paid to look amazing; however, just following their lead can help you look magazine/runway worthy too.

LED Light Therapy for Anti-Aging and Acne -The Supermodel Secret Holy Grail

Models such as Winnie Harlow have hit up skincare hotspots like SOMA in order to refresh their skin with LED Light Therapy. How can such a session help your face? SOMA SPA reveals,

“LED Light Therapy stimulates the skin tissue to regenerate with new skin cells. Light therapy also increases blood circulation, collagen production and general healing of the skin.

LED light therapy is a painless, relaxing, non-invasive skincare treatment that has multiple benefits. Particularly stimulating collagen and treating mild to moderate acne.”

LED Light Therapy for Anti-Aging and Acne

As one can see, it is the perfect facial treatment to start healing and improving the look, texture and feel of your skin. Therefore, don’t skimp on your skincare. Put a few coins aside to visit a spa or skincare specialist to receive a skin therapy session that can give you the skin of a supermodel.

The best part is that you don’t have to get one of these treatments every day. Start by going once or twice a month and watch the magic happen. Nevertheless, homecare is just as important.
