NY Fashion Week: Threeasfour
Any girl who knows me, knows that I love wearing barely there makeup – it’s fuss free, demurely gorgeous, and still keeps the Boyfriend on his toes.
With that said, it’s no surprise that I was totally diggin’ the beauty look from the Threeasfour show on Day 2 of NY Fashion Week happening right now in Bryant Park!
MAC makeup artist Gordon Espinet envisioned the look to be “a fresh face with a hint of coral – a girl who is too young to wear makeup.” While I completely agree that this is the perfect look for those gosh-darn teenagers, I definitely wouldn’t rule it out for myself either. The Threeasfour beauty look for Spring 2009 is a perfect one to open up a new season with! I’ll definitely be stocking up on corals next year!
Get the look with these simple products and tips – MAC Brow Set to create a textured brow against the otherwise naked eye. Keep your face minimal by only applying sheer amounts of foundation where you absolutely need it. Use a brush like MAC’s 188 Small Duo Fibre Face Brush to stipple a cream blush to the cheeks. Here, Gordon uses Rich Coral or Virgin Isle Cream Colour Base – it’s lovely, ya?
Finally, give your lips just a flush of color with Tinted Lip Conditioner with SPF 15 in Gentle Coral. Apply it to the center of the lips and blend!

Lilan, you are definitely an expert at subtle, well-applied makeup, so I appreciate your tips very much. I am still looking for the perfect under-eye concealer, sigh…

Hi Lorien,
Unfortunately, I am not too savvy on concealers as I don’t really wear them myself.
Have you checked out Musings of a Muse? She’s a friend and she just did a whole series on concealers – maybe you can discover a great one there!

Hi Lilan,
Thank you for that link. What great timing, it’s like your friend read my mind! And it’s nice to know I’m not the only one searching for the perfect under-eye concealer…
