chromat new york fashion week beauty look

Chromat had an amazing, modern show at New York Fashion Week (MADE Fashion  Week) for the spring/summer 2016 season. I loved the structural yet athletic vibe of the collection. The beauty look was equally athletic and modernistic; complementing the vibe of the collection.

For Chromat’s beauty look, Dominique Samuel created a sporty and dynamic using Maybelline products. The result was a modern meets athletic look which fit perfectly into her imagined “power women of the future” inspiration.

If you would like to recreate this look at home, you are in luck! Maybelline has shared Dominique Samuel’s process for creating the Chromat spring 2016 runway beauty look at home.

The following text and tips were written by Maybelline:

Dominique begins by applying Fit Me! Matte + Poreless Foundation all over the skin followed by Face Studio Master Concealer under the eyes and along the sides of the nose and temples to reflect light, and develop the dewy effect.

Next, he defines clear angles and shapes on her face using Face Studio Master Contour at the cheek bones, outer brown, and along the nose and at the outer edges of the face, blending bronzer and contour cream with a brush. He uses highlighter along high planes of the face.

Dominique sculpts a thick brow with a subtle arch using Eye Studio Color Tatoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadow in Tenacious Teal  blending and elongating the shape with a brush. He defines the lower lash line with Lip Studio Color Blur in Cherry Cherry Bang Bang and adds shine to the upper lid using Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Taupe With Me. A single coat of the The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara (launches Oct 2015) on upper lashes to complete the eye.

Dominique finishes the look by dabbing Baby Lips Balm for subtle shine.

During New York Fashion Week, Kendra Scott opened her showroom up to appointments; allowing me to view the current fall 2015 collection. Kendra Scott also displayed the upcoming winter collection which will debut mid-October. (Watch for my coverage of this collection in October!)

Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection features variations on her classic collection; as well as new pieces which are sure to become instant classics. Many of the fall pieces are made with white howlite, or black banded agate; which puts an edgy spin on classic black or white. These pieces work well with any color combination; making them versatile and easy to wear this fall season. Love that!

I am in love with the white howlite pieces. I have a pair of earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace from Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection which are made from white howlite and set in silver. They work well with my summer into fall wardrobe, and also work perfectly with my fall wardrobe. Since they are white, these pieces will work well in any season.

Many of the pieces from Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection work well with pieces from previous seasons. This allows for easy layering.

Kendra Scott fall 2015 also shows mixed metals for the autumn season. Kendra Scott has mixed together silver, rose, gold, yellow gold, and black metals for the fall season. This adds to the versatility of her collection as it can be mixed and matched with almost anything. It also makes her collection easy to travel with. I wore this bracelet set everyday in New York since it matched all my earrings. Loved it!

Here are my favorite pieces from the Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection. Stay tuned for her winter collection which I will feature in October!

The Zimmermann spring 2016 collection shown during New York Fashion Week was absolutely amazing. The collection combined the prints, fabrications, texture, and drape we have come to love about Zimmermann’s collections, with the current trend towards higher hemlines. Love it!

One of the dominant trends on the spring/summer 2016 runways in New York was the short, 1960’s style hemline. Zimmermann showed this short hemline while keeping an earthy color palette and vibe.

The collection featured soft neutrals, soft blues, and delicate layers. The prints offered small patterns which were feminine and demure.

Zimmermann showed strappy shoes which hit mid-calf and came in colors to match the collection. The handbags were boxy and shown in both beige and soft blue. Loved it!
