MONDAY: Knuefermann

While most eyes followed every one of Turet Knuefermann’s creations as they made their way down the catwalk, our eyes were drawn away to the designer’s accompanying beauty look. In a modern take on the traditional smoky eye, M.A.C Senior Artist Kiekie Stanners used a dirty ochre hue to create a look she calls “high-end elegance with a touch of rock ‘n’ roll.”

This edginess was offset by a glowing, golden base, created by Stanners massaging M.A.C’s cult favourite Strobe Cream in Goldlite into skin, before adding a light, creamy blush and highlighter across the high points of the face. Recreate this exaggerated eye at home by using a mix of M.A.C’s Groundwork Paint Pot and Lip Mix to blend up a rich, ochre tone. You’ll note the absence of mascara here, and why would you bother when your peepers are already drawing attention for all the right reasons.
