Smashbox for Neverblack, NZFW 2011

The beauty look for Neverblack at this year’s New Zealand Fashion Week was described as “romantic and whimsical with a touch of grunge”, and the Smashboz team lead by the lovely Neisha Henry certainly stepped up and met the brief. The emphasis was on perfect, dewy skin and an ethereal bronze eye, and this super wearable look translates well from the runway to the street.
To start off, Smashbox Photo Finish Face Primer and Lid Primer were used to keep the look in place.
Dewy skin was achieved with Smashbox Studio Skin 15 Hour Wear Hydrating Foundation, followed by Smashbox Photo OP Under Eye Brightener applied for a touch of radiance to the higher planes of the face.
Smashbox Blush Rush in Passion gave cheeks a feminine, flushed look.
Smashbox Lip Tech (one of my all time favourite Smashbox products) in Nude and Maple kept the lips a natural satiny matte.
The perfect complexion was balanced with a more undone yet stronger eye in tarnished bronze tones. Smashbox Eye Shadow colors Brazilian Bronze, Sienna and Ambient were blended across the lid and brought underneath and out. Finally, the super inky Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara was concentrated at the base of eyelashes for extra definition.
Gorgeous!
