Vivienne Westwood's Autumn Winter 2014 Ready To Wear show was an extremely interesting one, with lots to see, lots going on and extremely extravagant styles. The backdrop for the show was quite simple, with a slightly dirty looking red and white diamond flooring and a large wall of light casting shadow from behind, focusing all the attention onto the models. Each model had something different going on and a different story to tell. There were mad hatters, to tribal warriors. The collection seemed to be extremely miss-matched, with large amounts of different patterns, pieces of clothing and accessories in each look. There was a large use of colour, mainly reds, blues and purply-pinks in every look. Many featured long beaded necklances and over-sized avant garde hats. It is unclear as to what the theme was as there seems to be many different themes all in one. 

For the hair, almost every model was different, having a different style, look, hat or not. The most seen styles of hair were straight slicked and wrapped around the hair, hiding most of the hair and keeping it all tucked in very neat and understated, others were tight curls and afro style in messy and odd shapes. Many of the models wore hates made out of feathers and veils and also the appearance of an oversized top hats on a few models.

Following the trend of seriously mismatched and over the top looks, the makeup was once again different on almost every model. There were dolls, tribal warriors and just plain shapes used as like a face paint on the models in reds, blues and whites. Underneath this there seemed to just be a very natural looking base with little to no highlight and shading and nothing on the eyes. 

The dolls looks incorporated messy and odd bright red cheeks and a red ombre style lip fading to white at the edges. Some models had a red stripe withe a couple of lines across their forehead and some models had a diamond created using singular outwards strokes. Again not seemingly follwing any pattern and not necessarily matching with the look but it seems to work and creates an awe-inspiring look for the whole show.

Autumn/Winter 2014 Makeup Trends --- Christian Dior

For Christian Dior Autumn/Winter 2014 Collection show, there was a large contrast between the models and backdrop, drawing all attention the bold and bright colours used in the designs. The show consisted of a white floor and white backdrop with very bright overhead lighting. It was very plain, simple and understated so that all the focus was upon the collection.

In most of the looks there was the use of just 1 or do very bold and bright colours. No patterns or pictures were incorporated into any looks just block colours. There was also the use of one bright statement piece against a white or black monochrome outfit. There was the use of lots of coats and suits, very straight, formal and strict. Very simple and understated yet eyecatching. 

The hair was straight and slicked back behind the ears. Once again a very natural and understated look. drawing any attention away from the actual look of the model and focusing it onto the clothing and collection. The hair was very shiny and sheek and had a sort of wet look about the top of the head.

The makeup as well, following a trend, was extremely natural and understated with the only obvious sign of makeup being the use of one bold colour as a winged eyeshadow, this was either in a shimmer green, grey or glittery aqua. Other than this, the brows were brushed and naturally only slightly filled in to a natural colour, A very light  coverage foundation giving a dewy and natural finish to the skin with minor concealing under the eyes and on any blemishes. Some looks featured a slighlty darker lash line and use of minimal mascara whereas others did not.

Personally, Christian Diors Ready to Wear Collection is one of my favourite Autumn Winter 2014 collections. I love the simple yet bold style used in the looks and how the contrasting colours work against each other. I also love how understated yet eyecatching the whole show was. I really like how strict and straight the style was and quite formal, yet the colours incorporated some playful and fun moods. I also really like how simple the makeup and hair was but how well they worked together and how it complimented the whole show.

In the Alexander Mcqueen Autumn/Winter 2014 Ready to Wear collection, the show included an interesting backdrop the incorporated and foresty, wasteland type feel including moss ground and rocks as the cat walk. Backed onto a white background with soft lighting to give a moody, quite sinister feel to the show.

The hair was in cornrow plaits plaited around the head starting as a middle parting. There were 2 long strands of straight hair on either side of the head, loosely over the shoulders and over the ears.

The makeup, continuing with the odd and sinister style, was made up of bleached eyebrows (seemingly a favourite amoung designers for Autumn/Winter 2014 shows) a very pale, almost white and ashen base with grey toned shading only noticeable on the cheeks.
The lips were white with a gold line on the cupids bow and middle of the bottom lip line.
Gold was also used in the corners of the eyes and down into the natural creases and lines under the eyes and also on the top lash line towards the middle of the lid as a liner.
A medium brown shade of eyeshadow was used across the lid and blended out into the temples over the eyebrows. On some of the models there is also use of large fluffy eyelash type accents either as eyelashes or over the brows.
There can be seen some red blusher on the cheeks and lots of use of highlighter, especially around the brow, cheekbones and chin. Once again giving a sort of ashen and sinister affect to the whole look.

The actual collection of clothing of the show was very extravagant and avant garde in true Alexander Mcqueen style. There was a large use of blacks and whites incorporating lots of lace, feathers and fur. All of the collection was quite puffy and not at all form fitting. It had a sort of 18th century feel with high collars and square necklines. There was also a large incorporation of leaf and floral patterns which match similarly with the backdrop. There was also a large use of ribbons and bows in some of the looks.

Autumn/Winter 2014 Makeup Trends --- Givenchy

In the Autumn Winter 2014 Givenchy Fashion Show the stylists incorporated a very natural look for the models. The hair, mainly using blonde or mousy brown haired models, was pulled away from the face in middle partings. It was slicked back but not quite flat and ended into 2 messy-ish plaits knotted down the back of the head.

The makeup, although simple, had some notable points. Blending into the face the eyebrows were bleached and messy, spiked up. The base was flawless with a strong but very natural looking contour, notable on the cheekbones and jawline. Similarly with the highlight, it is noticeable strong but natural, seen especially on the nose and forehead. The eyes have a very simple style, there was a medium brown (similar to Mac Taupe) covering the whole eye and winged out up towards the eyebrow. On some models this was notably stronger, and featured a stronger shade in the corners. Most models had winged white eyeliner on the top lash line. This seemed to add to the simple, modern style and framed the eyes. Most eye-catching of the look were the red squares featured at the temples. This was an 'eye-lifting elastic band' which created a very strict and straight affect onto the model, keeping with the theme of the whole show which was quite smart. The lips were neutral and the blush was a peachy/corally shade used in a contoured way across the cheeks.

During the fashion show there was lots to look at and a lot going on., highlighted by the strip lights bouncing off the white cat walk. Largely featured were long-sleeved, wafty silk shirt dresses in many different patterns including 'python prints and blown up butterfly wings' aswell as 'painterly water colours and leopard print'. Compared to the clothes, the hair and makeup is simple and understated, which draws attention off the model and onto the outfit. The bold and rich designs completely take the attention of the audience, standing out against the bright and white backdrop. Also featured towards the end of the show was the use of fur jackets in nudes and creams, very  understated compared to the rest of the line. The shoes are all sandal style pumps and all models wore black translucent tights under the dress, shirts and skirts.

3. Make sure my hands are washed and clean before starting the look.

4. Make sure my hair is away from my face.

5. Make sure I dont have any excessive jewellery on that could catch, cut or scratch my model. 

6. Make sure all my products are layed out properly and neatly so as not to cause a hazard. 

7. Ensure there is nothing on the floor that can be tripped or fallen over and all bags and coats are away. 

8. Make sure I am wearing shoes with a closed toe so as if anything is dropped it doesn't cause damage to the toes.

Demonstration

In our current trends makeup lesson 5, Branka demonstrated how to create a look using a basic flick liner and a number of different lip styles. 

She used Rebecca Krassismenou as her model.
Starting with prepping the skin, Branka used Argan Oil and moisturiser to add moisture to the dry areas of Rebecca's skin. Once this was done she moved onto the base.
Using the Naked Urban Decay Demi Finish medium coverage foundation in shades 5 and 7 (neutral tones) she mixed up a colour to match Rebecca's skin tone and the applied this to the face, starting in the middle and buffing outwards.
Next Branka used a bronzed illuminator to add a shimmer and tan to areas of Rebecca's face that would naturally catch the sun, e.g. the forehead, nose, cheekbones.
Moving onto highlighting, Branka used Topshop Gleam which is a soft bronze that works as a highlighter on medium to dark skin tones. She added this over the top of the areas that she had just added the illuminator.
Once Branka was happy with this, she used Urban Decay Concealer in medium to conceal under Rebecca's eyes and then buffed this out so as there were no harsh lines or obvious marks. She also applied this all over the lid and buffed it in. Applying a slightly darker to the corner of the eye she also buffed this in. Branka explained this was to neutralise an area that was slightly darker.
Branka then powdered under Rebecca's eyes to keep the makeup from moving.

Starting on the eyes, Branka went in with Mac Brule all over the base. She then applied Mac Taupe using a fluffy eyeshadow brush from the outside crease, half way into the base in a circular shape to create shading affect on the lid.

Moving onto the eyebrows, Branka applied Mac Brow gel to the brow to ensure that the eyeshadow would stick when filled in, whilst she did this she also brushed the eyebrows into shape with the applicator. Using a dark brown eyeshadow, Branka filled in Rebecca's eyebrows working towards the arched shape. She then applied another small layer of brow gel on top to set.

For the eyeliner, Branka used black aquacolour. She added a small spritz of water to the aquacolour palette and then mixed a small amount onto the back of her hand. She created a consistency that was quite thick and not too wet, it resemble a liquid eyeliner. Lifting the brow, Branka started in the middle of the eye and drew a straight line to the outside edge stopping there. Asking Rebecca to look left, she did a clean line from the inside corner of the eye to meet the middle where she had started the liner. Lifting the brow, Branka created the flick from the outside corner of the eye going towards the eyebrow in an upwards, sweeping motion. She lifted the brush at the end to create the tapered and thinning style. The flick was medium length, She then applied mascara with a fan brush to the upper and lower lashes.

Once the eyes were finished, Branka started the lips. Starting with lip liner in Mac Ruby Woo, Branka explained to look at the lip shape, looking out for a defined cupids bow and the balance between bottom and top lip shapes. Starting at the cupids bow, she lined with the Ruby Woo Lip Pencil. She then moved to the middle of the bottom lip and lined just the middle. Using small feathery strokes, Branka lined the lips from the outside corners to finish the lines. Asking Rebecca to open her mouth, she then lined the inner corners of the lips. Then working from the outside corner of the lips, Branka over drew slightly too add balance. Then, using a round brush, Branka applied Mac Ruby Woo Lipstick all over the lips inside the liner and onto of the liner not going over the lines. After this was done, Branka applied Kaylin Liquid Lipstick in Classic Cherry Red, starting in the centre and feathering out to the edges. Using concealer half a shade lighter than the natural skin colour, Branka used a flat brush to apply a highlighted line around the lips.

To finish the look Branka applied eyelashes to Rebecca's eyes and Illamasqua Liquid Metal, Liquid Gold highlighter to the corners of the eye and a small amount ontop of the top lip.

Ombre Lip 

Using Mac Ebony eyeliner pencil, Branka applied this exactly where she had originally put the Ruby Woo Lip Liner. Asking Rebecca to open her mouth, Branka used the eyeliner pencil to colour in from the corner of the mouth to a quarter of the way along the look and out to the edges. Then, using the same lip brush used to apply the red lipsticks, Branka feathered this on top of the black liner to soften the line. Going back in with the black again this time doing a thin black liner along the edges. Once again smudging the line slightly to soften it.


Glitter Lip 

Dabbing a thin layer of vaseline onto the lips, Branka then spritz her finger with Mac Fix + and dipped it into red glitter. She then dabbed this onto the lip. She used masking tape around the area to lift any glitter from unwanted areas not on the lip.

Burberry Autumn Winter 2014

Burberry Autumn Winter 2014 London Fashion Week Collection

(photo by: Indigital  Model: Cara Delevingne   Designer: Christopher Bailey [Burberry])

In the Burberry London Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2014 collection, there was a large use of colours and patterns within the clothing. The patterns seemed to draw inspiration from children's drawings seen within the shapes and style used within the design. This seemed to be quite messy.   There was a use of belts and scarves wrapped over coats in almost every look. The main colours seen throughout the show within the clothing were, beiges, greens, browns and reds, which are colours usually associated with autumn. There were also blues and yellows incorporated within some of the line.

The makeup was soft and subtle, the face had a very bare, no makeup look to it and seemingly no base, although some foundation would have been used. Eyebrows were left natural with perhaps a slight wash of colour on top if anything. Lips were natural with no colour applied. Eyes seemed to be the only area of the face with visible with a very soft and rounded shadow in a lilac tone. this was visible on the lid and underneath the bottom lash line. On some models, there was also a white or cream liner used on the bottom lash line. There was no use of any other liner or mascara on any models.

The hair seems to be very natural looking. There is no particular style to any model. It is down with a slight natural wave to the length. It is over the ears not behind the ears and there is a different parting with different models but the predominant parting seen was a middle parting.
