Lipstick Powder N Paint

Spring at J. Mendel is about ethereal silhouettes and soft textures, so the makeup reflected this inspiration through clean, matte skin, light pink cheeks and lips, and an elongated smoky eye that is pretty, yet powerful. We love it because it is so natural looking.

Here are the products Bobbi Brown and her team used to create this feminine look:

FACE
Bobbi Brown‘s Foundation Stick was used to even out the skin tone. Creamy Concealer and Corrector were used to hide dark circles and blemishes. Pot Rouge in Sand Pink (available in March) provided colour to the cheeks.

EYES
Eye Shadow in Bone was applied on the lower lid and Mink to the crease of the eye. The eyes were lined with Eye Shadow in Mink. Extreme Party Mascara finished off the look.

LIPS
Lip Color in Pale Pink was applied to the lips.

The hair look for John Patrick Organic is a modern, playful take on Bohemian-chic. Hair is smooth and shiny on top with soft, free-flowing curls below the cheekbone and volume at the front—pulled back into a barrette, adding a girly touch.

“I call this chic-bohemian look ‘the wave.’ Patrick was inspired by a photograph taken in the Krazy Kat Club in the 1920’s, where the girls embodied a “wholesome Bohemia” full of enthusiasm and creative spirit. We worked together to translate this inspiration into a look for the seductive, modern girl who attends private speakeasies. She is distinctive, intellectual, and very pretty—yet fun-loving and young.” says Odile Gilbert, Lead Hair for Aveda.
