Backstage Beauty: Marchesa

The Marchesa show was jam-packed....so much so that there wasn't room for a few A-List stars who had to take their seats late after doing time in front of the cameras. Luckily, we were on bleachers instead of actual seats, so there was room for a few more bodies. In the front row, the crowd looked on in amusement as a willowy young celebrity squeezed in between an editor-in-chief of a teen magazine and a pretty fashion house scion! But Marchesa's gorgeous, silk chiffon and satin silhouettes were totally worth the big squeeze. Talia Shobrook for Stila created dewy, baby-doll-inspired faces that evoked innocence. “I’m using makeup that highlights the mystery of the secret garden theme, so the end result is very pretty, but has a bit of an edge” said Shobrook. Eyes were a neutral matte and were played up with creamy pearl liner on the inside of the lower rims. Lips were defined with a soft fuchsia shade and were locked-in with a light topaz liner, which created a more pronounced cupid’s bow.
