DEFINED AND SCULPTED EYES WITH D&G BEAUTY
For the Spring-Summer 2021 Ready to Wear season, Dolce&Gabbana presented a captivating collection entitled Patchwork di Sicilia. This elegant show was complemented by a timeless make up look: a healthy and polished complexion with signature feline flicks and vivid matte lips in a palette of nude, pink and red – all from Dolce&Gabbana Beauty.
The skin was prepped before creating an elegantly defined and sculpted eye makeup look using Felineyes Intense Eyeshadow Quad in shades Sweet Cocoa 2, Smoky Taupe 3 and Italian Baroque 4. This was then highlighted with the Intenseyes Creamy Eyeshadow Stick in Gold 6 which was used on the inner corners of the eyes, adding a shimmery accent that brightened the look. For the signature sweep of liner, The Glam Liner in Black Intense 1 was traced along the upper lashline and out towards the temples to create the iconic black flick.
The models’ brows were enhanced with The Brow Liner, using light feathery strokes to mimic the natural hairs and give soft fullness and definition. The feline eye look was finished with show-stopping lashes, using Passioneyes Intense Volume Mascara in Nero Sicilia 1.
