The juxtaposition of iconic styles from different decades was the concept Raf Simons – the creative director at Christian Dior used in his latest Spring/Summer 2015 Couture Collection to create a new, modern look maintaining the classic “Dior style”.

So we have the romance of the ’50, the experiment from the ’60 and the freedom, craziness and sexuality from the ’70 peeping out throughout the entire collection, everything put together in a psychedelic universe.

For this presentation the look Peter Philips – the creative and image director of Christian Dior Makeup, who’s work I adore, came out with a “very pure look” meant to emphasis the natural beauty of the models Raf Simons chose precisely for their strong, beautiful, distinctive features.

He took inspiration mainly from the concept of Raf Simons’ collection, but also from iconic photography and music characters like Veruscka and David Bowie.

The makeup used was more than basic, not “to steal” much from the beauty of the models or from the creations they wore on the catwalk. Maybe that’s the main reason why it made me resonate so much!…

For a flawless complexion Peter Philips worked with the new Dior Nude Air Serum Foundation, which I already blogged about here. To finish and to set everything in place, he used the also new Dior Nude Air Loose Powder, mainly in the center of the face.

For the eye makeup he used a new product ( already available exclusively on dior.com  for now ), called The Eye Reviver Illuminating Neutrals Eye Palette, in shade #001, Dior‘s first illuminating palette to brighten the eyes with an instant radiance-boosting effect.

It is a very basic palette, with only a few essential nude colours –  one powder primer, 4 neutral eyeshadows and one cake liner. Peter Philips used the prime colour called Clair, as a base all-over the lid. Then he used the shade in the middle of the palette, another neutral to define the lid and to create the effect of a light tint of colour, like a “cloud” under the eyebrows. And with a darker, but still neutral shade he defined the crease.

He obtained a neutral look without giving the impression that any makeup was used to achieve it!

Of course, NO mascara was used in this presentation, as he already had us used from the previous collections ( see here , here and here ), but this time he thoroughly curved the lashes to open up the eyes and create a fresher look.

To conceal any imperfections he used the Dior Airflash Concealer.

On the cheeks he used the Dior Diorblush #536 Peach Splendor, from the recently released S/S 2015 Kingdom of Colours Collection ( which I already talked about in a post here ).

To finish the look, he simply applied the Dior Lip Maximizer to give the lips a gorgeous natural shine.

This means “pure beauty” in Peter Philips and Raf Simons’ vision of the “haute couture femme“, who even if she had touches of colours on her eyes and cheeks she has not the air of a woman wearing makeup.

For the Dior S/S 2015 Haute Couture presentation, women had “l’air d’être belles, simplement belles“, said Peter Philips!

See you soon, mes belles!

xx, Annie

Makeup look by Peter Philips with DIOR’s NEW releases, for the Couture A/W 2014/15 Collection

In my previous post I told you all you needed to know about the concept behind the makeup look Monsieur Peter Philips – the new Creative and Image Director of Dior Makeup created for Dior Couture A/W 2014-2015 Collection.

Here you have the products he used to bring to life this concept.

He started by applying the Dior Diorskin Star Foundation ( read full post about its release here ) to perfect the skin, and on drier complexions he preferred the Capture Totale.

For blush, he applied a touch of Dior Blush in #881 Rose Corolle and to highlight he used another blush in #421 Starlight – available internationally in October.

For the natural, soft eye he used the pastel shades: the white and the yellow from the forthcoming Candy Choc  from Dior Fall 2014 5 Couleurs Palette, the Clashing Shock Harmony collection, available from 3rd September. He then added a bit of white kohl crayon in the waterline to soften the look even more.

On top of that the added the contrasting graphic element, the mirror eyeliner.

He did not wanted for the lip to steal the attention from the eyes, so he used #123 Trompe L’Oeil from the Dior Nude Lipstick Collection to neutralize the natural pigmentation of the lips.

The nails were short and nude, with only one coat of gel polish in #108 Muguet ( my favourite nude at the moment too! link to my Instagram photo wearing Muguet, here )

And this is the look he achieved: natural eyes with a statement eyeliner and defined brows to balance the look.

One particularity of this look is what Peter Philips called the “empty eye”. What he meant by that is he DID NOT applied mascara on the lashes! Like this the main focus is exclusively on the mirror eyeliner.

So, did you took notes? Have you “enriched” your wish list? I sure have added a few items to my never ending one!

See you soon, beautiful!

xx, Annie

Dior couture Autumn-Winter 2014/2015 fashion show – New Eyeliner proposal

Do you remember Monsieur Peter Philips? Do you remember my previous post about the divergent liner?

The divergent liner was Peter Philips’s – the new Creative and Image Director of Dior Makeup, proposal for Summer of 2014! Read full post here.

For the Dior Couture A/W 2014/2015 fashion show he came out with a new idea of eye liner. A graphic, futuristic, mirrored eyeliner to contrast with the historic elements of the collection and the fragility of the decor made entirely of white orchids, white podium, lights and mirrors – an ethereal atmosphere.

The mirrored eyeliner was the only graphic element which was really stood up against the rest of the makeup, the face of the models being pure and natural. His intention was again to create an impact in the same way the items of the couture collection create an impact by how they were reinterpreted. You should know that the whole Dior Couture Autumn-Winter 2014-2015 Collection was centered around Marie Antoinette’s wardrobe and that époque in general, combined with the modern elements of the twentieth century.

To create this look Peter Philips went for a natural, soft look: pastel colours on the “empty eye“, nude lips, a natural blusher and a bit of highlighter. More details on this look and the products he used on my next post ( link here )!

In the meanwhile, what do you think about this eye look? Would you wear it? I am already looking for products to recreate it for an event I have to participate next week!

See you soon, beautiful!

xx, Annie!
