New York Fashion Week - Breakdowns for Adam, ThreeAsFour, Ruffian

Adam | Romy Soleimani

Inspiration: “The look is inspired by japanese water colour – the way colours mix, blend and diffuse when you mix them with water.”

Eyes: Beautiful Iris eye shadow – swept lightly over eyelids. Cornflower Blue pigment – applied in a sheer layer over lids to add depth. Teal pigment – blended in a thick diffused line along lower lashline. Tealo pencil – drawn along lower lashline.

Face: Love Rock mineralize blush duo mixed with White Frost Pigment – brushed high on cheekbones almost up to lashline for a pink watercolour haze.

Lips: Dim lip erase – blotted on to lips with fingers to slightly diminish natural lip colour.

🙁 Ruffian Red will not be a future collection. I read on specktra that there will only be like 500 and not even for sale to the general public 🙁
