Get the look from Christian Siriano’s NYFW show
Category is: Moonlit Smokeshow. Our return to the runway was truly as magical as Christian Siriano’s designs. Described by Siriano as “a fairytale land of mythical beauties,” his SS25 NYFW show transformed the Pierre hotel into a whimsical wonderland. We partnered with celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo to create a look that would complement his vision.
“This look draws inspiration from the enchanting allure of the 1920s, blending flirty, dark, and fairy tale elements with a modern twist,” Oquendo said. “It’s a look that captures the magic of a timeless fairy tale, wrapped in the elegance and boldness of the Roaring Twenties.”
Read on for the breakdown of the NYFW makeup from the show and learn how to get the look.
Get The Full Look: Moonlit Smokeshow
“The soft, smoky eyes evoke a sense of mystery,” Oquendo said. He started with ColorStay Multiplayer™ Liquid-Glide Eye Pencil in Checkmate (401) as the base, blending the liner upwards, followed by the shade Fortress (405) to add that beautiful green sheen. Then, he applied ColorStay Day to Night™ Eyeshadow Quad in shade Moonlit (555) to set the liners and smoke out the look.
He then lined the upper lid with ColorStay Multiplayer™ Liquid-Glide Eye Pencil in Queen of Hearts (406), topping that liner with shade #3 from ColorStay Day to Night™ Eyeshadow Quad in Stylish (560). He popped in shade #2 from Gorgeous (580) for the inner corner of the eyes. Along the top and bottom waterline, he again used ColorStay Multiplayer™ Liquid-Glide Eye Pencil in Checkmate (401). He then applied ColorStay Xtensionnaire™ Mascara on the top and bottom lashes. To finish the eye, he used ColorStay Brow Fantasy™ Pencil & Gel in Soft Brown (102).
“The luminous skin and delicate lips bring out a playful, yet sophisticated beauty,” he said. He prepped the skin using ColorStay™ Grip Matte Primer. To even out the complexion, he applied Illuminance™ Serum Tint and ColorStay Flex Wear Full Cover™ Concealer. He then blended Illuminance™ Gel Serum Blush in the shade Striking Rose (120) on the cheeks and powdered the T-zone with ColorStay™ Blot Setting Powder. Oquendo lined the lips with ColorStay™ Longwear Lip Liner for natural definition, and swiped on Super Glass Shine Lipstick to add shine to the center of the lips. To finish and set the full look, he sprayed on Revlon ColorStay Lock Setting Mist.
