Your childhood is calling: Moschino is bringing Barbie and her amazing style and beauty to the streets of Spring and Summer 2015.
If you caught a glimpse or watched the Moschino Spring 2015 show, you saw big wigs, bubble gum pink, and mules everywhere. Barbie was the big theme of the collection and the models looked impeccable—especially their skin. Lucia Pieroni, the makeup artist behind the makeup look, made the models look like what Barbie would’ve looked like if she were real today and it was everything we imagined and more.
Recreating this look is pretty easy so give this tutorial a try if you want to look like a Moschino Barbie.
Start off with the right skincare. The models’ face were flawless and we already know it’s because they take time to care for their skin. Exfoliate your face to get that perfect smooth surface and moisturize properly.
Foundation. Lucia didn’t use too much foundation and we’re thinking it’s because this whole “fresh face” trend is here to stay. Use a light dewy base like Japonesque’s Color Luminous foundation, $36, if you have dry skin or Chanel’s Vitalumier Aqua, $45, if you have oily skin for the perfect touch of healthy radiance. Conceal spots with your concealer of choice if they peak through.
Eyes. The eyes were quite simple as they had a wash of rose gold base on the lids and a bit of champagne right in the center. The lashes were plentiful so use 1 or 2 sets of lashes on top and lots of mascara.
Contour. The contouring was kept to a minimum so skip out on the bronzing powder and go for a cool-toned sculpting powder like Kevin Aucoin’s Sclupting Powder, $44. Lightly contour the cheekbones and skip out on contouring everywhere else.
Lips. The pink lipstick used was a combination of MAC’s lip mixes magenta, yellow, and white but because most of us don’t have those colors laying around, a pink lipstick that resembles it is best. The shade was on the warmer side due to the yellow that was mixed so we recommend you try something similar to MAC’s Pink Friday (Nicki Minaj collaboration). Top it off with a light layer of clear gloss and you’re now a Moschino Barbie.
