words by Connecticut / New York Celebrity Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis
One of my favorite glamxurious commercial since Nicole Kidman’s mini film for Chanel No 5 perfume is the new DIOR Addict ICONIC lipstick. Kate Moss has been a DIOR muse for some time now. Her rock chic elegance and her chameleon like style is the reason why she’s the perfect face for DIOR.
The DIOR mini fashion movie was filmed by Jonas Akerlund on October 1st, the day of the DIOR Spring/Summer 2011 RTW fashion show. David Sims photographed Kate Moss for this campaign and he captured many fabulous shots. The music is by Rock Icon music group DURAN DURAN and the song is called “All You Need Is Now”.
When I watch this film it makes me smile and happy and embrace being a woman. Now this is why I love what I do, an amazing moments that I would love to experience in Paris; makeup, fashion, runway… a GLAM LIFE OF A MAKEUP ARTIST done by DIOR!
To achieve this stunning Kate Moss Glam Icon Look you will need the 3 Dior Addict Style:
Dior Addict Lipstick
Vibrant Color & Spectacular Shine Lipstick, the ultimate fashion accessory. The new Dior Addict Lipstick is a declaration of love between beauty and style, color and couture, and Dior and its addicts. A dazzling array of shades for runway-ready lips.

The Winged Eyeliner look or cat eye which is what many girls call it, seems very hard to get right. So what’s the trick or should I say the tip to get this bad girl look?
You have to have a slant eyeliner brush, liquid liner shaped like a calligraphy pen or my favorite cream/gel eyeliner. The line should start as thin as possible on an angle and grow thicker toward the outer corner of your natural curve of your eye. I suggest taking the “wings” up to a few centimeters.
Another tip, but I can’t take credit for this one, is to trace a business card or an old credit card and angle your wings to match up. Makeup Artist Kathy Jeung likes to use this step when working with Gwen Stefani.
Just have a steady hand and practice, practice, practice. Try it out and let me know if it works for you.
