Daily Vogue was lucky enough to talk to key make-up artist Kabuki about creating the look at Dennis Basso SS 2011 collection. This season Dennis Basso designed for an affluent, but younger woman: “She loves to go out, She travels. She does special occasion. No pants.”

For those used to the classic smoky make-up usually seen on the runway at Dennis Basso, S/S 2011 surprises – pleasantly.

“I added a modern twist to a classic Audrey Hepburn eye and was inspired by the futuristic youthful cut on the clothes from the collection”, explained key make-up artist Kabuki.

While the skin was polished with a light foundation (Make Up For Ever HD Foundation), lips nude and sheer (Sephora Lipstick Palette – Dolce Nude 20, Romantic Rose 18; Sephora Ultra shine lip gloss – Perfect Nude 20), the eyes stole the show – lined with Sephora Smoky Creme Liner in matte cobalt blue, turquoise and orange. Segments of false lashes and lots of mascara were applied so the color of the liner wouldn’t be overpowering. The result: a young, fun, but polished and elegant wide-eyed pixie with flashes of color.
Other products used to complete the look: for the face – Givenchy Mister Light, Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder, Sephora Blush Me (Peche Tendre 04); for the eyes – Givenchy Mister Light, Sephora Nano Eyeliner (Golden Sand 07), Sephora Mono eyeshadow (Coffee Brown), Sephora Mono eyeshadow (City Fog), Make Up For Ever False Lashes, Givenchy Eyebrow Show Pencil, Make Up For Ever Concealer Pencil.
 

Maybe the experts are right and the dresses were not a great success, but the make-up was …unforgettable

There’s still time to slap some sassy paint on and celebrate summer time, and this summer, we need all the sass we can get. Plus we’re poor and can’t afford statement pieces. So thank god we have Sephora’s new polish line by O.P.I is making it all possible with the most extensive range – 54 to be exact – of colors I haven’t seen since Rainbow Bright. From rich tangerine to shimmery cool rose, you will fall in the love with the rest of this boring summer. With cheeky O.P.I. inspired names like Mermaid to Order and Lost Without my GPS, there is a nail color for every occasion or no occasion at all.

This polish is a perfect combination of O.P.I.’s quality and color expertise and Sephora’s leadership is beauty product sophistication. In fact, Sephora by O.P.I. Nail Colour, in addition to being long-lasting and chip resistant, is a combination of top quality formula ingredients free of formaldehyde, toluene and DBP – toxic, icky ingredients found in most, lower quality nail polishes.

Now we love colorful polish trend, but make sure you never match it with your dress. A yellow dress and yellow nails or a purple dress and barney nails is a major no no. More subtle, neutral outfits will make the nails pop without overwhelming your look with competing colors. Choose the lighter colors now – the shimmery yellow and hot orange – because the darker colors can carry you through both winter and fall – the deeper purple and blue tones. This may be the perfect just what the doctor ordered to help New Yorkers save our summer.
