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.

Beauty Inspo: Fenty Beauty Killawatt in Trophy Wife Rocked by Olay Noel

ArianneUpdated on November 15, 2018November 15, 2018

Model and accessories designer, Olay Noel, hit us with some serious beauty inspo! If you already didn’t see the need of adding the Fenty Beauty Killawatt in Trophy Wife to your makeup collection; this look should seriously give you a “golden” opportunity to change your mind!

Beauty Inspo: Fenty Beauty Killawatt in Trophy Wife Rocked by Olay Noel

Trophy Wife is an intense pigment that is multi-functional. For instance, we love all of the numerous ways Noel used her Killawatt product in her overall makeup look. We note:

As an eyebrow highlight.
An eyeshadow tone for her lids.
Used in the corner of her inner eye areas in order to help eyes appear more “awake.”
A highlight for her cheekbones, showcasing their exquisite structure.
Slight glittering effect within her lip color.
And perhaps our favorite… as a body glitter. Trophy Wife was lightly dusted along her neck, collarbone and décolletage to slightly enhance and emphasize.

As one can see, the right product can be used in many ways. Thus saving, you space in your beauty case as well as money. Regarding their Highlighter Fenty Beautys says you can, “Light up where you want, when you want. Unlike your everyday highlighter, Killawatt keeps skin lit beyond sundown with its weightless longwear formula. A cream-powder hybrid that instantly melts into skin and blends with almost zero effort.”

Sounds like a win to us. So then, stop sleeping on this amazing highlighter. We have used this product and highly recommend it for all skin tones. Plus, with one swipe you literally experience a gorgeous bold color finish! Yes, it is THAT pigmented. Therefore, get yours at www.fentybeauty.com; each one retails for $34.
