You're going to love this look. The first backstage I covered this season was a bit off-beat, but the makeup look was far from it thanks to Maybelline New York. A dramatic winged cat eye, soft, matte skin and sheer nude lips. Wearable and easy to achieve. The show, Elle Fashion Next, where emerging talent from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago are given a chance to showcase their work, was a great success. Here, of course, is my backstage beauty report.
Being that there were many students showcasing their unique styles, it was important for the lead Maybelline New York Makeup Artist, Gabriel Almodovar to add consistency to the show through makeup. Since the winged cat eye was the main focus, he instructed his team to use whatever it took to make sure it was done right. His secret? Using Maybelline 's EyeStudio Master Drama Cream Pencil Eyeliner in Midnight Master, since it glides on so easily, with an angled brush to create the preciseness and draw it out to a crisp point.
Everyone, even the models, were buzzing about the new lipcolor that Maybelline is launching this November called Color Elixir. This is one I for sure, have to get my hands on! It's a perfect hybrid between a lipstick, gloss and balm. The models were all wearing a sheer nude called Glistening Amber.
