Maria Comparetto's Post card from Milan

On Saturday Maria sent this from Milan: " Just been doing makeup (with Linda) for Emporio Armani, the show was amazing, all black clothes & beautifully tailored.. The makeup was very natural with an accentuated cheek and lip. The eye socket was shaded and the lid was  highlighted as was the cheek bone. Matt lip and skin was the trend! Back stage was buzzing with the arrival of Tina turner, and Ricky Martin to name a few... Great atmosphere!!  I'm livin the vida loca."

Maria Comparetto - Jayne Pierson Show A/W 2011

On Sunday, Maria Comparetto worked once again with Jayne Pierson on her show, which was this time part of the On/Off schedule of London Fashion week.

The show was very well received. Maria said that "the girls looked amazing".

Maria worked with the MAC Pro team to create the pointed purple and electric lilac lip (using Blue Lipmix and Rich Purple Paint Stick with Plush Prolongwear Shadow on the upper lip) which was to be “futuristic but paid homage to the eighties”.

Parfait Amour Eye Shadow w/Shine Mixing Medium was applied on the lower lip

The skin was alabaster but glowed with pearlised highlights and the cheeks lightly contoured with MACs new accentuate cream.

Eyebrows were brushed up and set to give the final look an elegant but animalistic quality. 

Nails were painted black.

The show was styled by Danielle Rees (who Maria recently worked with for Blown Magazine on the shoot with Charlotte Hatherley).Dom Capel did the hair.

The after show party was at Whiskey Mist where a cool crowd danced the night away to DJ Fonteyn.
