Here's how to get the look:

Derek Lam
For the Derek Lam Spring 2012 show, Tom Pecheux for Estée Lauder presented translucent skin with sun-drenched contours, a glaze of a ginger-hued gloss and neutral nails. He was inspired by the clean minimalism of the Derek Lam collection. To achieve this look try Estée Lauder Pure Color Gloss in Citron Kiss and Estée Lauder Lucidity Translucent Loose Powder.

Band of Outsiders
For cheeks, Dick Page blended a combination of the Shiseido Makeup Accentuating Color Stick in Rouge Flush (S4) and Glistening Flush (S3) together on the inside of his forearm.  Using a wedge sponge, he applied the cream blush mixture directly on the cheeks.  Taking a blush brush, Dick blended the blush on the skin, focusing on the cheeks and bridge of the nose to create a “slightly sunburned” effect.

Timo Weiland
“It’s Jean Michael Basquiat on the coast,” said designers Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein. “The collection is very surf-inspired but ‘cool’ surf. Like a New York artist on the coast.” James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry chose to focus on cheeks. “The blush and loose powder that we used makes them look golden and sun-burnt.” To get this look try NARS Zen Blush and NARS Beach Loose Powder.

Victoria Beckham
Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury created fresh, glowing skin with shading and highlighting to contour the face. For the eyes, Lancôme Liner Design in Bronze Couture was mixed with Absolue Bx moisturizer and applied to the crease and then topped with Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Pure for a glossy finish. Lips were muted with a dab of concealer. Groomed, slightly arched eyebrows gave the look a feminine modern edge.
