MAC @ Erickson Beamon S/S 2012

Makeup @ Erickson Beamon S/S 2012

More photos of the look by MAC – more like the step-by-step process, which I felt really privileged to watch as Chantal Miller (MAC Senior Artist) go through and demo for the other artists. They did a few different color combinations as well. I’m hoping to get more information about what they used in the next day or two!

Check out more photos!

The looks are amazing!!!! I have a few questions…. What and how did they seal the eyebrows? And the False eyelashes, are they black card stock (thick paper)? What material is it???? Thanks!

Whew – glad I’m not alone! Sure this looks bright and creative and would be wonderful (or not – those lashes could be a hazard) if you are a performer in Cirque de Soleil or a dance troupe. Personally, I get more from looking at Christine’s looks and seeing how she combines and blends shadow products for a look I can actually WEAR.

Wow-zas!!!! I LOVE the make-up in these photos especially the glittery lips. (The 6th to last pic) Her lips look cool! can u do a tutorial on how to achieve that look? (well only how to do the lips)

Lucy Avatar

I really wanna know how to get those purple lips. I must have them! Christine, what colors did they use and is it available? Does anyone know of some good dupes for these purple lips?

artemis Avatar

kinda too much, i like the kind o make-up looks that makes you look hotter, these seem like the make-up is wearing the model but they would be cute for a ballet costume or a video

Err… horribly stupid question, but what’s S/S? :-[

But I absolutely love this. It’s this type of artistic, outside-the-box approach that caused me to respect makeup so much. I especially love the model with the smooth orange shadow under her eye and the purple lip. It’s almost liberating in a sense.

LOVE IT!!! But I’m very curious about the lashes. How did they do them? And they just stick paper on the lid?!?! I’ll be waiting for more info. Christine, maybe you can interview Chantal Miller, she could perhaps give us mortals tips on how to create our own paper lashes 🙂

This looks like a child playing in its mother’s makeup. I understand going to extremes for the runway but this just isn’t fashionable.

I love the idea for the lashes though. 🙂

Lena Avatar

wow cool. i’m most intrigued by the placement of the blush and its color; that’s a really hot number. i’m almost sure i can pull it off in a daily look.

do you know what’s on their nails, christine?

It’s a little crazy, but sometimes it’s pretty nifty to see the more avant garde aspects of what makeup can achieve. Runway makeup is always fun to look at – I have an entire folder on my drive dedicated to the more street-friendly ones.

Although, I admit that I would wear the hell out of that purple lipstick.

I’m actually most impressed by how “less then perfect” the models look. I love the honesty
of the photos-very refreshing. As for the make-up, I love extreme looks but for
some reason this rubbed me the wrong way a la Burning Man. Also I could just
be bitter since our town recently got flooded with a number of highly inebriated, unwashed, obnoxiously behaved Burners.

Senior Artist Chantel Miller for M.A.C should have known better. Anyone that has seen the pixiwoo video can’t deny that this look was stolen.
I’m pretty sure MAC Cosmetics would not be impressed by the blatant plagerism either because it calls into question the creativity of their own artists.
Madness.

This is waay too similar to Sam from pixiwoo’s look ‘fantasy brights make-up tutorial. I cant believe a professional company like Mac would copy a budding make up artist like that, i have lost a lot of respect for them:(
I would have though mac could have come up with their own look, they obviously have no creativity.

For those of the ‘Comment-eers’ who didn’t understand, this was for a presentation on risers and raised scaffolding; always at least 10 to 20 feet from the audience. Though there was a walkway in which to approach, the aforementioned vantage point allowed the visitor to see the make-up as it was intended. These close-ups are for education only.
Try to imagine these beautiful girls amidst drifting smoke, and lush vegetation surrounding them. *Bright Angle-Lighting* let the exaggerated eyelashes cast interesting shadows upon the wall; close at hand behind them.
