New York Fashion Week: Mara Hoffman AW2011 collection

Mara Hoffman takes us on a Nomadic journey with her AW2011 collection. Her muse was a "Spiritual Warrior", inspired by her incredibly talented husband. (Some couples are just not fair. I mean, the cool artist husband and the totally hot fashion designer wife? Amazing). The collection simultaneously has a tribal and a feminine feel to it.

Backstage, MAKE UP FOR EVER lead makeup artist, Lottie, wanted the models in Hoffman's show to have sun-kissed skin and smokey eyes. To achieve this look the MAKE UP FOR EVER team used HD Invisible Cover Foundation that was a shade darker than the models' actual skin tone. They gave an even more sun-kissed glow by using Mat Bronze all over the face.

For the smokey eyes, the makeup artists used a thick coat of Aqua Black on the upper and lower lash line, then used MAKE UP FOR EVER Smokey Lash to further enhance the look.

A full brow completes this look, so the MAKE UP FOR EVER team used Waterproof Eyebrow Corrector, which was combed through the brows with a disposable mascara wand.

The last step in this look was to give the models a neutral, yet sun-kissed, lip color with Camouflage Concealer Palette #4.
