Gucci sent their fall/winter 2015/2016 collection down the Milan Fashion Week runway last week and showed a clean, classic beauty look which complimented the subway themed show, and vintage collection featured on the catwalk. The feminine and classic beauty look on the Gucci runway was created by Gucci Cosmetics Artistic Director, Pat McGrath.

Pat McGrath shares with us how to achieve this runway look at home, right now, before fall 2015 begins! Love that!

GET THE LOOK:

Skin:

Skin was prepared by applying Gucci Purifying Cleansing Water, Refining Gentle Toner and Perfecting Lightweight Moisturizer. Before makeup application, Gucci Silk Priming Serum was used to prime the skin.

Face: 

Gucci Lustrous Glow Foundation and Luminous Perfecting Concealer were applied to match each model’s skin tone.

Eyes:

Each model received individualized application amount of the Gucci Magnetic Color Shadow Duo in Aristocratic to enhance the natural tone of their eyes. Next, one coat of Gucci Opulent Volume Mascara in Cocoa was applied to the base of the top lashes only. Lastly, eyebrows were groomed using the Precise Sculpting Brow Pencil

Lip:

Clear lip balm was gently dabbed on lips with a finger and then tissued off.

Finishing Touch:

The look was finished off with Gucci Luxe Finishing Powder.

Christian Louboutin Salonu nail polish from the Python Volcano mini coffret for spring 2015

Christian Louboutin Salonu nail polish for spring 2015 is an off-white nail polish color from the Python Volcano mini coffret by Christian Louboutin. This off-white hue is a fabulous neutral tone for the spring season; as well as the summer season!

I tested out Christian Louboutin Salonu nail polish with one base coat and three coats of color. Salonu is a cream nail polish which can easily look streaky if not applied thick enough. The thin application brush Christian Louboutin uses in his nail polish collection can makes applying Salonu a little bit difficult. Once applied, it is a beautiful neutral hue for the warm weather season. It is worth the effort to apply!

Christian Louboutin Salonu nail polish lasted six days before chipping. I did not use a top coat. I feel like this will be an ideal color on toes to wear with open toed shoes and sandals. Love it!

Christian Louboutin Salonu nail polish is part of Christian Louboutin spring 2015 Python Volcano mini nail coffret set. The nail polish set can be found online here and here.

Concept Korea Fashion Collectives showed their fall/winter 2015/2016 collection at The Pavilion in Lincoln Center on Friday, February 13, 2015. The collection featured both men and women’s clothing for the upcoming cool weather season. Concept Korea included designs by “Beyond Closet, design by Tae Yong,” “Leyii,” and “Resurrection.”

The lines were sleek; offering chic silhouettes for office and daytime wear. The color palette was neutral, and offered pops of purple along with unexpected, understated patterns. All three designers showed collections which are easy to integrate into one’s wardrobe. Loved it!

My favorite looks on the Concept Korea fall 2015 runway were the grey and purple ensembles. What do you think of the collection?
