On the front: military and make-up
The influence of military style is noticeable on the podium - and this applies not only to clothes, but also to hairstyles, make-up and even fragrances.
The military has once, twice ... the third season in fashion. How is this possible? It seems to me that the whole thing is that this is a style-protey, constantly changing, although it preserves its essence. There are military men, which I conditionally call “GI Jane” - camouflage, jackets with patch pockets, pants tucked into high lace-up shoes, no makeup. Haircut under the machine - optional. Another military has earned the nickname "Nikita". Not in honor of the series about the spy, and not even in honor of "Burnt by the Sun-2", but in honor of the clip, which for Elton John was shot by Ken Russell. This is a morally stable military, experiencing the influence of the uniforms of the USSR, the people's army of the GDR and other Warsaw Pact countries. And sometimes broken military "Hussar Ballad". Completely epaulettes, orders, aglets. Three years ago, a squadron of Moscow ladies flew from an event to an event in Dolce & Gabbana dolomans.

Last fall, the influence of the Soviet uniform was evident at the shows. The badges "sverhstrachnik" and "Excellent military and political training" in the collection of "Paris - Moscou" Chanel. Buffing Dior. Red Army clasp from Emilio Pucci. Gymnast chloé. The Marc Jacobs exit is a blouse resembling a tunic with sharp shoulders, in an ensemble with a crimson velvet skirt, girded with a wide strap of coarse leather.
What is new season? No matter how hard you beat, you can’t stick a catchy label. Now strange war is in fashion. The uniform is not copied, it serves only as a source of inspiration. Direct quotes from the past two seasons have changed subtle allusions. Fragment of an army belt on a purse or on a coat sleeve. Silhouette overcoat. Powder box on the back of the dress. Protective color. A print in which only camouflage is guessed.
The warlike elements of this season are designed to emphasize the femininity of the look in general. That is why the question is now becoming important: "How should the hairstyle and makeup be combined with them?"
Celine, Etro and MaxMara have smoothly combed hair with a parting. I mentioned only those who had elements of military in the collections. And so the slimming is found in Jil Sander, Stella McCartney, Calvin Klein and many more. A twist or shell is made on the back of the head. Glitter hair should be strong to unnatural, but not oily. It is necessary to use shine for hair, because now it is important to create a feeling of well-groomed and healthy hair. Parting is best done at an angle, but not to break - it should be a thread.
Loose hair is also in fashion, and even with military combines normally. Let it be so worn last year (Chloé, Emilio Pucci), but if instead of a light wave to make sloppy strands with a grunge mood, then why not.
Bright red and dark cherry lipstick and voluminous gloss this season are relevant, but in combination with military clothes will create a provincial-garrison look. So what remains is either a nude or an emphasis on the eyes. Shadows to the eyebrows or cat eyes from a combination of brown, possibly gray shades. Perhaps black, clearly traced arrows. The skin tone is light.
Chanel creative makeup director Peter Phillips definitely likes the khaki color. Spring beige-pink collection of Impressions he diluted tone Khaki Doré (eyeliner). True, he was not so much khaki as golden. In the fall, Phillips developed the theme. The Verto Khaki monoteni and the Le Khakis de Chanel lacquer collection of three shades appeared - Khaki Vert, Khaki Brun and Khaki Rose. A nice feature: they were created so that they could not only be worn apart, but also combined.
Lucky Le Khakis de Chanel and Givenchy Khaki Egerie Shadows | And in Givenchy paid tribute to the color of khaki - Nicolas Dezhenn in the new collection has provided a quartet of shadows Khaki Egerie. And MAC appeared eyeliner protective color - Tarnish. I will only say that the shades of the protective color are much more interesting, it will not live to complement the look in military style, but rather make them an energetic, belligerent counterpoint to a soft home image - to a camel-colored coat and cashmere sweaters. |

When the next perfume or cream presentation is held, the presenter says "Dear Ladies ...", looks around the room, pauses and adds with surprise: "... and Gentleman". The only gentleman in the company of beauty editors, as a rule, is Arseny Zagulyaev from Fashion Collection magazine. |
