Chromat spring 2016 beauty look by Maybelline

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.

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!

Georgine showed her spring/summer 2016 collection at New York Fashion Week on September 14, 2015. The collection was nothing short of amazing. Definitely one of my favorite shows of the week!

The color palette featured soft tones as well as eye-popping bright colors. The highlight of the show, which garnered “ooohs” and “aaaahs” from the crowd were the fur stoles.

Georgine’s fur stoles offered structured, geometric shaping which was contrasted by the soft fur. It is amazing how the fur was able to be shaped in balls!

In addition to fabulous clothing, a fur fanny pack, and jaw-dropping fur stoles, there was an abundance of celebrities sitting in the front row at Georgine’s show. Across from me sat the fabulous Kristin Taekman from Real Housewives of New York. Yes, I am a huge fan. Next to her sat Stassi Schroeder of Sur, and towards the photographers sat Nigel Barker (love him!), Patti Wilson, Laverne Cox, and Linda Fargo of Bergdorf Goodman.
