THE SCOOP: Donna Karan's Spring 2010 collection was influenced by the four elements - earth, air, fire, and water. And to balance out the muted shades of gray, white and beige found in the designs, lead makeup artist Pat McGrath painted models up to mimic statues.

"The look is very pale, but really beautiful," said McGrath.

The key to McGrath's graphic look: a theatrically, white lined eye. By layering the bright color on top lids, the smoky eye becomes more pronounced.








GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP:
All makeup by CoverGirl. To recreate McGrath's goddess-like glow, apply Clean Makeup Foundation over entire face. Lightly blot Simply Ageless Corrector (which contains Olay so it doesn't crack) around eye area to conceal any blemishes or dark spots. Give cheeks "a bit of pink" with Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach and Rich Cinnamon, blending up towards the temples. Brush Shadow Blast Pencil in Silver Sky over the lids, before dramatically lining with white pencil. And to finish, use a little foundation to tone down lips.
