Paris is usually the setting for Cecilia Bönström's Zadig & Voltaire girl. Frankly-pun unabashedly intended-if you were situated in a such an appealing locale as the French capital, why would you relocate?

For Fall 2017, however, Bönström decided to plop the Parisian in NYC. This was achieved through athletic silhouettes and primary hues interspersed among lots of black-a color appropriate for any metro.

Dick Page, Shiseido artistic director, countered with luminous skin-his speciality-and pretty pops of color on the eyes and lips. The effect was energetic and youthful, like a newcomer looking wide-eyed at the shiny Big Apple.

"This season's collection was full of energetic, bright hues. To complement that, I created a makeup look featuring interventions of color-similar to the way you would accessorize clothes-to bring a cohesive believability to the vibrancy of each style," saidPage about the beautiful faces he created for the Zadig & Voltaire show.

Hear Shiseido Artistic Director Dick Page describe the Zadig & Voltaire look:

1. To achieve this bold eye look, the Inkstroke Eyeliner in Kuromitsu Brown (new for fall 2017) was applied to the top and bottom lash lines with the Inkstroke Eyeliner Brush (new for fall 2017) and blended into lashes.

2. A highly-pigmented wash of red, yellow or white color was smudged horizontally from the top lash line to the crease. Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Mist can be used to achieve a look similar to the bold white shown in the image here.

3. Page filled in the brows using dark brown shades such as the Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Leather and the Eyebrow Styling Compact in the shade best suited for each model before applying hairspray to a brow brush and brushing up to set.

4. Rouge Rouge lipstick in Rouge Rum Punch was applied to the lower lip's inner center and blended out, resulting in a subtle hint of natural color.

5. For a light flush, Rouge Rouge lipstick in Rouge Rum Punch was also smudged on the apple of cheeks and blended to a soft pink.

6. Skin was kept clean and Synchro Skin Glow Luminizing Foundation was applied to skin to even tone when necessary.
