NYFW Backstage: Brian Reyes

SHOW: Brian Reyes

MAKEUP: Nicolas Degennes for Givenchy

MODEL: Yana, DNA

THE LOOK: The main focus was to increase the look of the eyes. When Nicolas Degennes spoke with designer Brian Reyes, he mentioned a marbleized fabric, which Nicolas used for his inspiration. He started by rimming the inner eyes a really dark black kajal pencil and at the outer corners, worked with brown, black and khaki shadows. “It’s a mix of three or four colors to get that marble effect on the eyes,” explained Nicolas. Skin was kept natural and clean with a light dust of powder on the t-zone and a touch of shine on the cheek. Lips were a rosy beige, but more on the beige side than pink.
