Pamella Roland: Fall/Winter 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

 

Look created by Matin Maulawizada for Laura Mercier

 

Matin Maulawizada, lead makeup artist for this season’s Pamella Roland show, was inspired by the designer’s collection, a visual narrative of the history of the Tzar and Russian Court.  He developed a flawless makeup look that showcased the simplicity of women’s beauty in tandem with the “opulence of St. Petersburg.” 

 

Flawless Face:  A fresh, “no makeup look” was key to balancing the collection’s bold accents

 

·         First, Matin applied Laura Mercier Foundation Primer ($32) to create the perfect canvas for makeup application.

·         Then, depending on the model’s complexion, he used Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation ($50) or Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation ($43) to hydrate and protect the skin.

·         Next, he used Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage ($30) to perfect the skin, concealing any problem areas.

·         He applied Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder ($35) to set and finish the look.

·         To give the skin a healthy color, Matin brushed Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Blaze ($24) and Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Sweet Mandarin ($24) onto the cheekbones. 

·         Matin then contoured the apples of the cheeks with the Bronzer Veil from Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Healthy Glow for Face & Cheeks Crème Colour Palette ($48). (The Bonne Mine Palette not only provides a healthy, natural glow, but 100 percent of the profits from its sales are donated to the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund.)
