SPRING 2009 BEAUTY TRENDS: BACKSTAGE AT MICHAEL KORS

SHOW: Michael Kors
MAKEUP: Shiseido
MODEL: Chanel Iman (Ford)
THE LOOK: Michael Kors was as fresh and All-American sexy as ever this season—a "healthy-sporty look that's a mix of bronze and rosy shades," as Shiseido's Artistic Director, Dick Page, put it. To create the look, Page used a Color Accentuating Stick on the eyes and just above the apple of the cheeks—intentionally keeping it a bit messy; "no contouring, shading nonsense!"—then muted brownish-red lip color with clear gloss. "The trick is, don't be too perfect," Page said. "This is the girl who's outdoorsy, active, sporty ... and she's still sophisticated and dead sexy!"
GET IT: Shiseido The Makeup Color Accentuating Stick in S1, S5 and S6; and Shiseido The Makeup Perfect Rouge Lipstick in Dragon and The Makeup Smoothing Lip Pencil in Siren, both launching February 2009.
