Wes Gordon

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK S/S 2012

Wes Gordon's luxe-for-the-youth collection for New York Fashion Week was fresh-faced and optimistic for the spring season. "She's sleek and civilized, but she might scratch your eyes out" remarked Wes of his collection's muse.

MAKEUP

"The makeup at Wes Gordon is fresh, young, and elegant," said Maybelline New York Global Makeup Artist Charlotte Willer. "The skin is dewy, the brow is strong, and the lip pops with sheer color." To get the young and sophisticated spring look, Charlotte first applied Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation for flawless skin, then created strong brows using Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil two shades darker than models' natural brow color. For a youthful glow, Charlotte applied Maybelline Fit Me! Blush in Medium Coral. She then stained the center of lips with Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor in Very Cherry, a sheer bright red. Charlotte also dabbed Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Quenched over lips and eyes for an overall dewy effect.

NAILS

To complement the spirited and retro vibe of the designs, CND manicurist Kristina Estabrooks crafted rounded nails into an almond shape and applied two coats of CND Colour in Poppyfield, a stunning, nearly-neon shade of coral. Toes were kept clean and neutral with CND Colour in Desert Suede.
