文化知识空投坊:

美容化妆:东西方女性的化妆不一样

As the cosmetics world goes global,how will it affect individual nationsideas of beauty?Now that anyone with internet access can check out the latest catwalk trends and advertising campaigns in international fashion magazines,will make-up trends become homogenized?Will a Mad Men-inspired red lip catch on in China,as it has in New York and London?Will women from Mumbai turn their backs on Bolly wood glamour in favour of“the new nude”?Here,industry insiders from major cities around the world report from the front lines of beauty today.

London

“Catwalk trends take time to trickle down,but when key celebrities wear a look,it can have an instant influence,”says make-up artist Cassie Lomas-and the celebrity does not have to be UK-based.

Paris

“Parisians do not in any way follow fashion trends that come from the shows-they have their thing and stick to it,”says Lloyd Simmons,creative director of make-up at Yves Saint Laurent.

New York

“In New York City,summer is about natural-looking make-up,glowing skin and eye shadows in warm neutrals,”says Bobbi Brown,whose summer bestsellers include long-wear make-up,in particular a brilliant dark brown gel eyeliner(?17).

Milan

“Milanese women still like all that sexy stuff:you see a lot of blondes-with the lashes,the smoky eye,that Donatella plumped-up nude lip.Its almost Kim Kardashian,”says Lisa Eldridge,who adds that the classic Hollywood look is popular too.

风靡全球的美容业,对世界各国的美容概念有何影响?如今网络上随处可以看到的最新时尚资讯,以及时装杂志上激烈的广告竞争,会让美容趋势变得越来越单一吗?灵感来自《广告狂人》的口红在中国是否也跟在纽约和伦敦一样受欢迎?孟买的女性们是否又会从宝莱坞范儿转投“裸色主义”的怀抱?现在,世界各大主要城市的业内人士为大家带来美容界的最新播报。

伦敦

T台上的时尚风潮流行起来需要时间,而一旦名人们有个什么新妆容,则能取得立竿见影的效果。彩妆艺术家卡西·洛马斯(Cassie Lomas)说,并且这些名人不一定非要是英国本土的。

巴黎

“巴黎人不太会受秀场的影响——他们有自己的风格并且非常坚持。”Yves Saint Laurent彩妆部的创意总监劳埃德·西蒙斯说。

纽约

“在纽约,夏天便是自然风格的妆容、容光焕发的皮肤还有中性暖色的眼影。”鲍比·布朗说,他的夏季畅销款包括长效彩妆,尤其是一款光泽感十足的深棕色眼线胶(售价17英镑)。

米兰

米兰女人依旧热爱所有性感的事物——你会看到许许多多尤物——浓密的睫毛、烟熏眼妆,多纳泰拉(Donatella,范思哲掌门人)般丰盈的嘴唇,像极了金·卡戴珊。
