Alexander Wang's sporty makeup brings out feminine strength

Mar 18, 2015

This series introduces makeup tips for spring/summer from the SS15 runway. The third installment is Alexander Wang.

The sneaker-focused collection has a futuristic, sporty feel. Neon colors, color blocking, and tight silhouettes create an athletic atmosphere. The accompanying makeup is also bold and energetic, sporty. The key is a luminous highlighter and deep blush that accentuates the contours.

First, thoroughly moisturize the skin with a moisturizing cream. Apply a layer of Sheer Glow Foundation for a translucent, radiant complexion.

Next, lightly pat a bronze blush under the cheekbones with your fingers. A darker blush will create a firmer contour. For highlighting, I used NARS Dual Intensity Blush Craving (the color on the left). I dipped it quickly along the cheekbones to add brightness. The contrast of light and shadow creates a three-dimensional effect. Gold eyeshadow was used for the eyes. Her hair is pulled back in a minimalist style.

The collection as a whole evokes an active, tough woman, but pleated details add a romantic touch. The makeup also brings out the strength of her facial features while retaining femininity. The look is clean and refined.

The lead artist is Diane Kendal of NARS. Key products used include NARSskin Luminous Stick Moisture Cream, Sheer Glow Foundation, Matte Multiple 1586, Dual Intensity Blush 5504, and Eye Paint 8150 (all NARS).
