From New York to Paris: FW beauty looks

Gucci, Rodarte and Jason Wu SS14

With international Fashion Weeks wrapping up, I thought I would share some of my favourite beauty looks from New York and Paris.

I adore the entire look James Kaliardos (for NARS) created at Rodarte's Spring/Summer '14 Collection. Inspired by an LA 80's rocker style, the graphic eyeliner and brushed up brows is effortlessly cool. Key products for this look included NARS Larger Than Life eyeliner in Via Veneto and NARS Oural Brow Gel.

The Zebra-print Hair-pieces were a bit fabulous too!

Jason Wu and Gucci had similar, stunning bronze eye-makeup looks for their collections this season.

At Jason Wu, Diane Kendal (for Lanôme) created the statement eye with Le Crayon Khôl in Black Coffee smudged in the creases. A brown shadow was pressed into the lid before adding bronze-gold glitter, finishing the look with plenty of mascara.

 Pat McGrath described her beauty look for Gucci as "Sporty, cool, luxurious - but still sexy". And I really couldn't think of a more perfect description. I just love the golden-bronze, statement eye of this look, the fresh skin and clear balm on the lips; all encompassing the athleticism of the perfect sporty-luxe look.

I really love both of these takes on a bronze/brown statement eye. A great eye-shadow palette to achieve the look yourself is Urban Decay's NAKED palette (it has a great selection of bronzy-brown shades) or you could handpick your own golden brown shadows from Inglot; the pigment of their shadows is amazing. Team a bronze statement eye with a neutral lip and clean skin and you've got the look down pat.
