fresh off the runway: the unexpected grunge at tanya taylor nyc

The catwalk at Tanya Taylor NYC at this spring's NYFW, boasted effortless grunge. The models sported thick, heavy, and imperfect black liner that was left with out blending. It was truly perfectly imperfect. Not only was the liner bold, it also packed an impact with an unexpected break in the middle of the lower lash line. I loved how innovative and graphic this simple notion was, and knew I had to create a look reminiscent of what the makeup artists created. I hope you enjoy. If this is not something you are interested in wearing, take it as inspiration for your makeup and fashion to be slightly unexpected and unique.

the eyes:

-Start by prepping the eye lid with an eyeshadow primer. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer)

-Pack a matte shadow slightly lighter than your natural skin tone all over the lid and under the brow bone. (Tarte Mattenificient Palette #Sand Out from The Crowd)

-Blend a matte skin tone shadow a few shades deeper than your natural skin tone through the crease to give the eye socket some natural depth. (Tarte Mattenificient Palette #Peach For the Stars)

-With a black kohl liner line the entire upper lashline, make sure to make the line thick and do not stress over making it perfect. This is not meant to look precise. Take the liner all the way to the inner tear duct and line the inner third of the lower lash line. Sop the line here (no liner under where your iris rests when you look straight forward). Pick the line back up and line the outer third of the lower lashline and waterline. Make sure to connect the outer corner of the upper and lower lashlines. (Jordana 12hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil #Black Point)

-Coat all your natural lashes with mascara and skip on the falsies for this look. This is all about the liner, not the lashes. (Lorac Pro Mascara)

the lips:

-Apply a rosy brown toned nude satin finish lipstick to the lips. Skip on the gloss and lip liner. (Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick #Nude List
