S/S 2016 Makeup Trends and A Chat with MAC Cosmetics Senior Artist Louise Zizzo

Louise Zizzo, M.A.C. Cosmetics' Senior Artist was in Singapore recently to showcase the Spring/Summer 2016 Makeup trends, and along with taking a look at the runway looks of the season (plus some face-chart fun), I was lucky enough to score a quick interview with her.

How would you sum up the key looks for S/S16 in one sentence?
Louise: The key looks for SS16 are deliberate, decisive, playful and have a modern sophistication to them.



What are some of the key trends that you expect to extend throughout the whole of 2016, beyond SS?
Louise: The bold lip trend and no-makeup makeup.

I often feel a lot of modern makeup we see on social media today is actually 50's makeup transposed onto a different color palette. Strong, defined arched brows, overdrawn lips, strobing and sculpting... as a fan of glamorous retro makeup yourself, why do you think these trends keep coming back?
Louise: You are quite right the makeup we see on social media today is based on old school techniques but I think because it is such a process - it gives a feeling of glamour and it can transform you into a completely different looking person. It's playing dress up but for the face!

What are some of the strongest makeup influences/inspirations for you?
1920's, 70's, 80's decades (especially the 80's - that's when my love affair with makeup really began as a teenager).

You said once that makeup should be approached with "intention rather than habit". I love that - but for the benefit of the readers, could you elaborate on it?
Louise: We are creatures of habit by nature and it is very easy to apply let's say highlighter because it's trendy and everyone is doing it or someone told us to do it, but our face tells its own story and we know it best, so ask yourself why am I applying this highlighter, where do I actually need it and what is it doing for my features? Another example is concealer, just apply it where you need it - which isn't necessarily all under the eye - perhaps you just need a little in the corners.

What is in your makeup bag right now?
Louise: Plushglass in "Fulfilled" - my fave! Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and Lip Conditioner.

If you were not a makeup artist you would be.... 
Louise: An interior designer.

Thank you Louise!

And just for your viewing pleasure, here are the 7 key looks as according to MAC. I have to say I agree with Louise in that strong lips and no-makeup makeup will stick around. In fact they will probably not go away anytime soon and have been a fixture on the runways every season since I can remember. We are obsessed with skin - whether matte, or strobed to the nth degree just to draw even more attention to perfect skin.

My favorite looks are Hot Cherry (I love a strong lip with minimal makeup elsewhere), Luster (you know I'm addicted to my highlighters and "real skin" makeup, and The Face, which draw attention to the undereye, either using neutrals or colorful "under-liner".

Strong all-over smoky colors a la Crayon will always be fun but not a daily thing for me in a conservative work environment.

  27. It is a very hard situation when playing the lottery and never won, or keep winning low fund not up to 100 bucks, i have been a victim of such a tough life, the biggest fund i have ever won was 100 bucks, and i have been playing lottery for almost 12 years now, things suddenly change the moment i came across a secret online, a testimony of a spell caster called DR EMU, who help people in any type of lottery numbers, i was not easily convinced, but i decided to give try, now i am a proud lottery winner with the help of DR EMU, i won $1,000.0000.00 and i am making this known to every one out there who have been trying all day to win the lottery, believe me this is the only way to win the lottery.
