Backstage with Sir John for La Prairie: Tracy Reese Fall/Winter 2015

Sir John had me swooning over the eye look at the Tracy Reese Fall/Winter '15 show. I noticed the fluid look of both the shadow and liners on the model's eyes and immediately deemed it as creative and bold (stunning was already a given). The skin was flawless and the lips, a wonderful nude. La Prairie is a luxurious brand that nourishes the skin like no other. The rarest of ingredients are used in their collections and they are a results-driven brand...

“The focus for me was always the skin; using skincare with makeup to reflect and absorb light within, and around the face. We ushered in a sense of architectural structure by sculpting cheekbones and temples. The eyes were the vehicle to delivering a sense of motion. We wanted to make a linear statement with colour, translating in levels of bold and graphic liner.” – Makeup Artist, Sir John on creating the look for Tracy Reese Fall 2015

The Look: Radiant skin, sculpted cheeks, graphic eye liner and a healthy nude lip.

Makeup Artist, Sir John explains how to get the look with La Prairie:

SKIN: radiant, lit-from-within

Cellular Softening and Balancing Lotion – helps prep skin by retaining moisture while soothing and refreshing skin.

Cellular Radiance Cream – leaves skin looking luminous and lit-from-within. Fresh, hydrated skin that reflects light was the focus.

Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Eye Cream – applied under the eye to brighten and help prevent makeup from caking.

FACE: luminous

Skin Caviar Concealer • Foundation SPF 15 – applied to face and neck to even out skin tone only where needed. Creates flawless coverage with a soft dewy finish.

Light Fantastic Cellular Concealing • Brightening Eye Treatment – used to highlight areas of the face where sun would naturally illuminate; under tear ducts, above the cheekbones, sides of nose, and high planes of the brow bone. Tip: blend well.

CHEEKS: sculpted

Cellular Treatment Bronzing Powder and Cellular Treatment Eye Colour in Topaz – applied to the cheekbones to accentuate and sculpt. Also used to create definition on the temples.

EYES: strong, colourful & graphic

Luxe Eye Liner Automatique in Brun or Noir – was used to line the entire inner rim of the eye as well as the upper lash line to create a mesmeric visual statement.

Luxe Eye Liner Automatique, Luxe Lip Liner Automatique and Cellular Treatment Eye Colour Ensemble – colours were crushed and blended first to create a creamy texture. They were then applied using a fan brush; pre-cut to create levels of vivid graphic liner.

Cellular Treatment Mascara Instant Build – apply 3-4 coats of mascara on the upper lashes.

LIPS: fresh, healthy, nude

Anti-Aging Eye and Lip Perfection à Porter – used to plump the lips and keep them hydrated.

Cellular Luxe Lip Enhancer – apply Anti-Aging Eye and Lip Perfection à Porter and using fingertip, blend in the Lip Enhancer to create a healthy nude lip.

 

New from La Prairie: Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Emulsion and CellularSwiss Ice Crystal Eye Cream

Just in time to make my skin extra delightful to the touch, La Prairie introduces both the Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Emulsion and Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Eye Cream. Their collections use the rarest of ingredients that allow for results beyond your expectations. This collection was created to nurture the skin and protect it against daily environmental damage. The eye area especially is so delicate in nature that it needs a lot of nourishment.

Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Eye Cream ($ 225):

Designed to combat the daily stress of pollution, climate and late nights which can leave the area around the eyes dark and vulnerable to the first signs of aging. Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Eye Cream nurtures the eye area, improving smoothness, hydration and luminosity, fortifying against the forces of time and the elements. The eye cream contains White Bird of Paradise plant extract which restores the skins luminosity by minimizing discoloration caused by a substance in our skin called bilirubin. 

Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Emulsion ($ 300):

Perfect for anti-fatigue, delivered in a lightweight and effective formula. It leaves skin invigorated and protected against the first signs of maturing skin. We make it effortless to keep your complexion looking fresh with a simple light-as-air lotion that covers all of the bases – radiance-inducing, hydrating, refreshing, firming, providing a more even toned complexion and promoting anti-oxidant activity.

La Prairie is available at Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and laprairie.com.
