warm orange and yellow eye make-up for summer 2012

Make-up trend: warm orange and yellow eye make-up for summer 2012

After all the bright and neon colors that dominated the last couple of seasons we start now to see warm and soft colors again. Backstage at the Hisui fashion show SS 2012 in Tokyo we saw an inspiring orange and yellow eye make-up in warm tones. The make-up look was created by Mariko Tagayashi. Get new and fresh make-up ideas from this interview and from the gallery of pictures below.

What was the inspiration for the Hisui make-up look?

All the inspiration for this look came from the feeling of melting inspired by the clothes in this Hisui collection.

The collection clothes are all like 'waving', the lines are very fluid. This collection, and my make-up, try to give hope and inspire a way to start again, after the big problems our country had during this very difficult year. The sunflower is a sign of hope, and the designer and the make-up colors are inspired by it.

How did you create this look?

Yellow and orange are key colors for the make-up. They are definitely some of the most trendy colors for next year. So I chose these colors for the eyes, used a lot of mascara, a little bit of concealer, a little bit of peachy nude gloss for the lips, and orange for the cheeks.

Mouth and lips like red rose buds

What was your inspiration for the make-up look for the Fur Fur SS 2012 fashion show?

'Doing the make-up for this show was a very special experience for me. Usually the make-up for a fashion show is created after a meeting and a make-up test with the designer. This time however we skipped the pre-meeting and the make-up test on purpose, so that I had to decide at the very last moment what make-up look to choose for this show. The idea was that we wanted to capture the last-minute inspiration of everyone backstage. To get a typically female inspiration our make-up team consisted of only women.' (Also the stylists, hair stylists and body painter for this show were all women)

'Of course I did get some information about the collection before. I knew flowers were going to be a key item for the show. And I knew the hair was going to be quite big so - to balance hair and make-up - I decided for a high impact make-up look with a strong focus on the mouth.'

'The inspiration for the make-up of the models' mouths were red roses, very red roses. I wanted girls' lips to look like red rose buds. So I used very red lipstick and after that a lot of powder to give the lips the powdery effect of real roses.'

'Also the eyelashes were inspired by flowers. So I customized M.A.C eyelashes by myself using, again, a lot of powder to make them look like the pestles of a flower.'

What elements of this make-up look can we use for our every day make up? What is the trend we can get inspiration from, in this specific make-up you created for the FurFur show?

'The actual make-up trends still show a strong focus on the lips, also in Japan. So I think at home you can try to use a bold color for your lips. Remember always to combine strong lips with a very clean skin. Don't use too much foundation and powder. For this show I wanted very perfect lips with a sharply designed lip line but at home you can just dap some lipstick with your finger on your lips for a more natural effect.'

Let's talk about eyelashes

Let's talk about eyelashes, and how to create 'very curly' eyelashes through the correct use of mascara. One of the most difficult parts of make-up is for sure to learn how to correctly apply mascara.

How can we prevent the lashes from sticking together, and what is your golden advice when it comes to applying mascara? How to effectively curl eyelashes? We asked Genus Ng, resident trainer M.A.C Hong Kong, and here is her make-up lesson on eyelashes.

Learn how to use the curler
"Curly eyelashes make eyes look bigger and brighter. This is why it is important to use an eyelash curler before you apply mascara." explains Genus. "M.A.C's eyelash curlers are made in Japan and very suitable for Asian eyelashes. To obtain a good result you have to use the curler in a proper way. I will explain you how to curve the lashes."

Genus Ng takes a cotton swap and indicates the middle of the swap where she had made a little sign. "Let's say this sign indicates the roots of the lashes, and the swap itself is your lash line. You start by curving your lashes near the roots (Genus curves the swap near the sign). Then you curve the middle of the lashes, and finally the tips of the lashes. So you will curve the lashes three times."

What if the curl does not hold?
Some Asian women have lashes which are so heavy that the curve does not hold because they are to heavy. "You can fix the eyelash curl with a primer, such as Prep + Prime Lash by M.A.C. It can thicken, lengthen and curve your lashes and prepare them for the mascara. You use this after curling your lashes with the eyelash curler. The primer fixes the curve and protects your lashes."

How to apply the mascara, what is the correct procedure?
"We have so many mascara types" says Genus. "First of all, you have to know your own lashes, the type of your lashes and the effect you want to obtain. We have mascara for definition, mascara for lengthening, mascara for volume."

"And then the application is very important" continues Genus. "To separate the lashes I suggest you use a lash comb. Only after that you apply mascara."

'If you want to thicken up your lashes you zig-zag the mascara wand back and forth in horizontal movements. But if you want to extend your lashes, and to give definition, you follow your lashes from the lash line to the tips. Just follow the hair. And choose the mascara according to the result you want to obtain."

How to get perfect eyebrows

Eyebrows are important to your overall appearance and beauty. Great eyebrows can enhance your look, add more expression to your eyes and even make you look younger. Are you not confident about your skills? Do you think you have no clue when it comes to taking care of your eyebrows yourself? Try Genus Ng's eyebrow tips, they are simple, effective, and… they work!Eyebrows tip n.1 - Choose the eyebrow make-up product according to your eyebrow type
'Before choosing or using any make-up product, it is important to understand which type of eyebrow you have', explains Genus. 'We have got arched brows, partial or full eyebrows. Once you have classified your eyebrow, you can choose the make-up product according to the type of eyebrow.'

'For the arched shape I would recommend to use a fine pointed brow liner which allows you to design small, little hairs. This way you can obtain a very real finishing.'

'For the partial eyebrow I would use a M.A.C. Brow Shader (a kind of eye shadow with a mat finish made to design the eyebrows). If you use a brush to apply it, it gives your eyebrows a very soft looking finishing.'

'For the full brow I would recommend the M.A.C. Impeccable Brow Pencil for a very soft sheer finish. It is very suitable to even up the brow a little bit.'

'The important thing is that you shape your eyebrows regularly', recommends Genus Ng. 'I would say at least one time a month.'

Eyebrows tip n.2 - How to find your shape?
Whatever shape of eyebrows you have, or want to create, (this depends of your mood) it is important to determine where precisely your brow should begin, arch and end. Genus Ng shows us how to find these three key points. Just apply these three golden rules:

1. To find the beginning of your eyebrows
To find the beginning of your eyebrows take a brush or pencil, place it on top of your nose and then extend it over the inner corner of your eye. Where the brush or pencil hits the eyebrow, that is the point where the eyebrow should begin.

2. To find the arch of your eyebrows
Starting point is always the tip of your nose. Place the brush or pencil on top of it, now extend it over the pupil of your eye towards your brow. Where the tool meets the brow, there is where the arch should be.

3. To find the end of your eyebrows
Place the brush or pencil on your nose and extend it over the outer corner of your eye. Where the tool meets the brow is where the end of your brow should be.

Eyebrows tip n.3 - Eyebrow shapes and moods
Once you have found the three key points, you can decide to make the brows bigger or smaller, and more or less angled. The three key points are your starting point. The final form you choose to create with make-up, also depends on your mood.

'Remember that a very round shaped brow is feminine and lovely looking', says Genus Ng, 'while a soft angle is very natural and good for every day. A very angled brow which is quite edgy shows a strong woman and can be quite aggressive.'

Eyebrows tip n.4 - Which color?
'In general the best thing is to match the color of the eyebrows with your hair color. It should be the same color or - if your hair is dark - slightly lighter. Asian women usually have very black hair and that should mean a very black eyebrow but the look will not be so natural. So in that case I prefer a brunette color. That is more natural', says Genus Ng.

We have to classify the different types of eyebrows. We got the arched, partial, full brow (arched, angled, curved, flat) so you have to understand first which type of eyebrow you have and then you can choose the product to use. If it is the arched one, it will be a fine point brow liner, you can design real hair, real finishing. The partial one… I would like the brow shader and you can also use a brush (Brow Shader). Very soft. The important thing is that you shape your eyebrows regularly.
