Brow-Less Angelina Types Live At Givenchy

October 5, 2009  4:39 pm

A newfound love for Manic Panic may not have made it to the Europe shows, but brow-bleaching—in all of its weird, futuristic glory—has been the rage from Milan to Paris. Despite the fact that Chanel Iman recently came out on behalf of the long-legged-model set to say that walking sans brows makes her feel like she’s “from another planet,” designers continue to instruct their backstage teams with the same four words: Blank out those brows. Aaron De Mey is the latest makeup artist to employ the technique, sending nothing but forehead out onto the Givenchy runway yesterday. But De Mey added a touch of voluptuousness to the otherwise androgynous look by employing a simple lip-plumping technique that doesn’t require tingling serums or vials of collagen. He used a brown liner to lightly trace the outer corners of models’ lips, adding a touch of caramel color to the centers to give the illusion of fuller pouts. We saw Stéphane Marais do something similar at Zac Posen, with a gray liner and pink gloss. It’s an easy way to retain a touch of femininity (and humanity)—you know, if you decide to erase your arches for spring.
