For BCBG this season, it’s all about the eyes — and I’ve got the first look. I went behind the scenes at the label’s Fall 2012 preshow test to get the inside scoop on what we can expect beauty-wise — and otherwise — at this week’s show. “Because of the clothing — very fluid, with colorblock, fur, and a bit of ’40s — and in order not make everything look retro, we have to keep the look very simple,” Maybelline’s global makeup artist, Charlotte Willer, who directed this season’s concept, explained. “It’s about beautiful skin; a soft, dewy look. Then, it’s a lightly filled-in eyebrow, a simple smudge of eyeliner on the top eyelid, and a little bit of brown-gray shadow smudged on top of that. Then lip balm, and that’s it.”
Get a closer look at the BCBG preshow process — and see Willer work her makeup magic — below, in this behind-the-scenes video. Watch closely for cameo appearances by Max and Lubov Azria, the Bumble & Bumble hair team, and as an added bonus, a quick little peek at the Fall 2012 runway shoes.
