Ease+Edge become one in SS2013, a season when the key beauty notion is one of simplicity with a forward thinking freshness to it. Mickey Contractor- Director of Makeup Artistry, M.A.C India and Sonic Sarwate- M.A.C Senior Artist, India, have introduced four key looks namely Signature, Nuance, Scichedelic and puritanfor Spring-Summer 2013.
Minimalism, in its truest unequivocal expression of a singular idea — is the most relevant approach:
1. It’s to be found in the purity of a perfectly pared back skin (SIG-NATURE).
2. A languid wash of colour (NU-ANCE), that takes in shades of highly pigmented pastels from turquoise and lemon to silver and translucently dark metallics.
3. A monochromatic Bedouin bronze, blurred on the eyes and bone structure (PURI-TAN).
4. An easy graphicism of purist colour blocked on lids or lips (SCI-CHEDELIC).
There’s a delicacy to beauty this season that speaks to the way women really want to look in the here and now, a time when subtle, fresh and confident feel more appropriate than hard, sexy or powerful.
Seamlessly humid finishes and cream colours prevail, with radiant complexions and balanced brows (note: brows are still news, but dominate the face less than last season) forming the cornerstone to every look.
From nuances of bare to strident modernist forms or colour, there is a harmonious geometry to makeup this season
that respects the underlying structure of the face, complementing and accenting its form rather than forcing the features.
