Ira Brings Out the ‘Tender Beast’ in Marie Claire China by Amber Gray

Posted Nov 27, 2012

Amber Gray brings out the ‘Tender Beast’ in the December issue of Marie Claire China.  Model, Ira, shows us how to amp things up this holiday season, with makeup that will take you from everyday pretty, to bold & beautiful.  Put your glitter on the back burner for now, this is about pure color and well-defined artistry.  Fabulous styles created for the modern woman, these looks are what I call, ‘Buildable Beauty.’  Faces that start at subtle and land at sexy – without appearing as if you’ve spackled yourself into the next century.  The ability to add to your makeup, without starting from scratch, is priceless in girl-world.

Proper preparation is what allows this drama to shine.  Begin by creating a solid foundation that will highlight your features (flawless skin, darkened brows and long lashes). From here, things get personal.  With a simple bold lip you can make a serious statement, or choose to go further and add a dynamic eye to the mix.  Makeup artist David Tibolla introduces us to the world of creamy-matte, as well as, a new breed of cat-eyes – that’s sure to bring out the animal in you. Liquid liner drawn from the inner-eye to the tip of the brow, or wild extensions that wing out and then reverse back in, both give eye-popping results.  Exciting and experimental, this is beauty that will get you noticed.  Source (FGR).
