Spring 2009 Beauty Trends: Backstage at Tamara Pogosian

SHOW: Tamara Pogosian
MAKEUP: Margina Dennis for Make Up For Ever
MODEL: Sarae for New York Models
BEAUTY BOTTOM-LINE: Soft smoky green eye, peachy/pink dewy cheeks and natural lips

THE LOOK: Welcome to the girly show! When makeup artist Margina Dennis and designer Tamara Pogosian met at a party, the pair hit it off and became fast friends. “Tamara’s clothes are very fun and flirty, but not little girly,” said Dennis who took a similar approach with the makeup featuring a softer than normal smoky eye. In order to lighten up the “smokiness” different shades of muted greens were used for the lids that followed the natural shape of the models eyes and blended out with highlights of taupey-gold. A few coats of mascara and the eyes were complete.
