As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Motives was out and about at Miami Fashion Week Swim for brands like Inca, Roberto Cavalli and Paula Herbert. I sat down with the lovely and talented Aileen Quintana to go over how she put together the fantastic “Asian Fox” look using Motives Cosmetics for the House of Herbert show – read on for her step-by-step instructions!

1. Begin by applying Perfecting Face Primer and then foundation

2. Prep the face using concealer to touch up any imperfections

3. If possible, it is best to blend in concealer with foundation in a setting with natural light

4. Use Full Coverage Photo Finish Powder in Mocha to contour under the cheekbones, over the forehead and around chin (make it look sun kisses)

5. Prep the eye with Eye Base

6. Use Essential Brow Kit to darken the eyebrows – finish with the wax

6. At center of the eyelid use Pressed Eyeshadow in Gun Metal

7. Start to blend in Pressed Eyeshadow in Onyx from the center of the lid and slowly blend it outward to the outside to  make the eye look elongated

8. Highlight under the brow with Pressed Eye Shadow in Pearl

9. Use Kohl Eyeliner in Onyx to line the base, the top and the bottom (including the inside) – finish with more blending and fading out the harsh line

10. Finish eyes with Lustrafy High Definition Mascara in Onyx

11. For lips, use Lip Crayon in Passion and Rich Formula Lipstick in Flesh (blot)

I hope you enjoyed Aileen’s detailed breakdown of the model’s makeup! Is this a look you’re willing to try?

Love,
