From Runway to Realway: A Fashion Week-Inspired Violet Matte Lip - Makeup and Beauty Blog

In case y'all oasis't heard (LOL!), New York Fashion Week kicked off yesterday, giving us a look at upcoming fashion and makeup trends for spring 2010.

I like to think the shows are like magic makeup crystal balls that give us a glimpse of what might come to pass and plop down on makeup counters early next year.

Spring withal feels like a 1000000 miles away, but those runway looks have a tendency to become marketing mainstream.

While flipping through the runway slideshows on Style.com today (SO MUCH FUN!), the violet matte lip in the Vena Cava show caught my eye.

Information technology'southward the lip in the flick at the meridian of the post. What do you lot think of that royal? — swish all the same kinda dangerous? Like something Audrey Hepburn might wear if she were turned into a vampire? 🙂

MAC did the makeup for the runway show. Their magicians used lip colors from the MAC Pro line.

For my "existent way" expect, which is similar a poor girl'southward rails version, I improvised, using products from both MAC and Benefit.

I like how information technology turned out, and it'south easy enough to practice once again.

What you'll need:

1. A foundation, or a light face or eye primer like Benefit Lemon Aid ($20)
2. A fuschia lip or eye pencil like MAC Technakohl Liner in Total of Fuschia ($14.fifty)
3. An inky, blackish regal lipstick like MAC Lipstick in Cyber ($14)

NOTE: I ended upward using MAC Mattene lipstick in Night Violet instead of Cyber, merely information technology's limited edition and may be hard to find. They've got the same vibe, though.

Swatches from left to right: Benefit Lemon Help, MAC Technakohl in Full of Fuschia, MAC Mattene Lipstick in Night Violet

Step by footstep, ooh baby:

1. Start by applying a thin layer of foundation or primer to your lips with your finger to mask the natural color.
2. Next, line and fill up your lips with the fuschia pencil.
3. With a lip brush, utilize a thin layer of the blackish purple lipstick until you attain a level y'all like.
4. If you call up your lips look besides shiny, mattify them more by patting translucent loose pulverisation direct on top of the lipstick.

All washed!

For the full runway Vena Cava experience in your living room at abode, just add sunglasses and your best Zoolander pose.

Don't just stand at that place, let'due south go to it…
