Who says only models can have the 'runway look?'

MANILA, Philippines - Aiming for the runway look that brings on the noticeable glam but subtle enough for daily wear? L’Oréal Paris shows you how.

Who says only models can work a stunning fresh-off-the-runway look? Any plain Jane can sashay in whatever makeup look that’s worthy of paparazzi shots. The trick is transforming such awe-inspiring looks on the catwalk into practical, wearable looks that you can rock every day.          

L’Oréal Paris lets you in on some easy, fuss-free makeup tricks from chief makeup artist Jigs Mayuga, fresh from the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2011 runway. You can pull these tricks from up your sleeves any time of day, so you can look flawlessly fabulous whether you’re off to work or just chilling out with your girl friends.    

The makeup look for Sassa Jimenez’s collection inspired by the 1920’s flapper girl transformed into a sophisticated look for the modern woman.

Highlight your strong facial features with a strong masculine look. Take a hint from Chris Diaz’s warrior-inspired ramp look but make it subtle enough for a sophisticated look that won’t miss a second glance. Start by aiming for a dewy look using L’Oréal Paris True Match Liquid Foundation on the face. Heavy contouring is key to highlight your best facial assets but lighten it up a bit for everyday wear. Color your lids with Open Eyes Pro in Grey Harmony, then apply Double Extension Beauty Tubes on the lashes and Contour Khor Crayon Eyeliner for the perfect smudge-proof smoky eyes. Finally, go for a little hint of sheen instead of a total pale lip look as seen on the runway, using Color Riche NutriShine for stunning lips that can get you through day to night.      

Wear an updated Flapper/1920’s look inspired by Sassa Jimenez’s holiday collection, which adds more color and definition to your facial features. Simplify the look for daywear by using L’Oréal Paris Base Magique on your face first as primer, then the True Match Two-Way Cake to achieve a powder finish. Add contour on your cheeks by using True Match Blush in Rosewood. Give emphasis to the eyes with Open Eyes Pro in Grey Harmony, which should be applied until the lash line. Then use Contour Khor Eyeliner but make sure not to create too much thick line. Cap off by going for brownish-red lip by combining Color Riche Red Passion and Intense Brown.      

Marlon Rivera’s gold-inspired makeup look can be translated to an everyday look that is just as regal.

The ethereal look defined Marlon Rivera’s gold-inspired collection. Bring the same regal look to your everyday wear with a gold eyeshadow, using L’Oréal Paris Open Eyes Pro in Beige Harmony. Apply the gold shade using a big eyeshadow brush way past the eyelids, almost to the temples that connect the top and bottom eyeshadow. Use a highlighter on the inner corner of the eyes and make sure that your eyebrows are naturally groomed for a clean look. Finally, apply Color Riche NutriShine in Rose Guava on the lips and add a little bit of gloss on the center of the lips to complete the shimmery look.

With these runway looks from L’Oréal Paris as inspiration, you can look fiercely glamorous even on ordinary days.
