Make up, integral part of fashion parade or shoot, and currently at DFW duo makeup artist Jojo and Yatan Ahluwalia are painting faces gracefully with pre-preparation of their complicated job. Both the makeup artists have decided to give full justice to the designer’s collection. They are equipped with 18 assistants and they are doing their coloring job within a 3 hours before the show. MAC is the brand through which they are creating perfect shades suitable for the collection.

It is wrongly assumed that makeup artist start their brushes on the very day of event however, the fact is not so. In case of fashion weeks the makeup artist keep meeting designers to get adiquate knowledge about their collection. Any makeup artist requires more than a month to think and machinate the looks. There they discuss several things related to ramp as well like colors, lights and many more so on that basis they visualize the look of the model on the ramp. One of the duo said “some designers prefer a perticular color but they wanted us to use the different shae of the same color”.
The cosmetics used by such professional are so advanced that makeup for stage absorbs the light and gives a more dramatic look on the ramp. Looking from the designer’s angel they don’t only deal with garments their area of concern includes make up and the model as model is dominant and influential factor contributing their designs and makeup enhances the creation.

China Fashion Week
BEIJING, March 25 (Xinhua) — China Fashion Week kicked off in Beijing on Tuesday and the stage was given to young designers from across the nation and the world.
Young designers from 18 countries and regions showed their creative ideas as they competed for the 17th International Young Fashion Designer Contest - the “Hempel Award”, according to Wednesday’s China Daily.
Most dresses flapping down the runway were one-piece concoctions, featuring straight cuts, cold and simple colors.
White, black, dark-blue and brown were the only colors used to express the spirit of the show: “simple is best”.
“Simplicity is always in vogue, but this year it attracts more attention because of economics,” said Shi Zhiqiang, Time Out Beijing fashion editor.
“China’s fashion circle is not as influenced by the recession as those in the foreign countries, but we too won’t see fancy garments with much embellishment in this year’s fashion week,” Shi said.
