Temptu Hits the Runway

On Tuesday, Sept. 15, I had the opportunity to visit the backstage area at Bryant Park during Mercedes-Benz Spring ‘10 Fashion Week in New York City. There, I got an up-close-and-personal look at the hair and makeup on the Max Azria models before they hit the runway. As I watched the models get their makeup done, I was fascinated by the flawless, natural look achieved by the Temptu AIRbrush Makeup System. I tracked down the key makeup artist for Temptu, Lisa Butler, to find out how they achieved the look. “We wanted the girls to look as fresh and natural as possible,” says Butler. To complement the collection’s uncomplicated sophistication, Butler and the Temptu Pro Team used the Temptu AIRbrush Makeup System with the AIR Pod Highlighter in Champagne on low pressure to add light and sheer accents around the face, including underneath the brow bone, around the sides of the eyes, on top of the cheeks, and on the lips. Clear mascara on the lashes was the finishing touch to the simple, yet elegant look. It definitely proves that sometimes less really is more!
