MAC Presents Autumn/Winter 2013 Trend

MAC presents four Autumn/Winter 2013 trends with Mickey Contractor-Director of makeup artistry, India and Sonic Sarwate - MAC Senior Artist.

Trend #1: REB-ELLE by Sonic Sarwate

Artistic. Anarchistic. Punchy rather than pretty.

A tougher feel to makeup is omnipresent for AW 13 and nowhere more evident than with this season's BLACK EYE. Liner and Shadow have dropped any sense of sexy smokiness and picked up a rebellious streak that is unconventional, anti-glamour and attitude driven. The significant black eye nods back to Punk in Spirit

Products Used: MAC Fluidline Blacktrack, Eye Kohl Smoulder, MAC Nail Lacquer in Nocturnelle.

Trend #2 : Perspex-tive by Sonic Sarwate

Chalky Matte, Balmily Waxen, Wet-Look

A fundamental idea this season is an absence of pigment in the complexion, using actual light, instead of artificial shade. To sculpt. Clothes, Accessories, Hair, Nails, Make up, Fashion's collective eye is upon reflective and somewhat wet textures.

Trend #3 : Au - Currant by Mickey Contractor.

The new take on Crimson is underpinned with an intimation of mystery,melancholy and macabre.

A rush of blood is equally relevant in relation to the cheeks: enhancing a flush of exertion gives the face a Winter-y rustic charm. Set against a pallid complexion, these looks capture a mesmerizing,

Pre-Raphaelite-esque beauty.

Trend #4 : Spiritual Eyes by Mickey Contractor

Eerie, Sleeping Beauty

Beauty has descended into an ethereally wistful mood this season. Characterized by brooding shadowed eyes and constituted with clouds of greyed tones. These eyes are emotively shaped. Not sensually smoked, and even more moving for their emergence from a porcelain skin.
