FASHION | Abstract Expressionism For The Eyes


It's slightly out of character for me to post two days in a row but can I just point out the sheer beauty that is the makeup from the SS16 Missoni show? Eyes on fleek cannot be any better to describe the wild, gestural eyes that graced the models on the catwalk. Painted in an abstract expressionist style, makeup artist Lucia Pieroni takes inspiration from Angela Missoni's mood board featuring the nomadic Maasai tribe juxtaposed with the work of Venezuelan graphic, op-artist Carlos Cruz-Diez. The cool-girl appeal lies in the lackadaisical approach to makeup that takes 'urban jungle' to the extreme, while the simple finger application is the laziest way to look edgy without sacrificing hours in front of the mirror. Who knew only two strokes could look that good on your face? Guess it's time for us to go back to our primary school art projects...
