February 2010

The two-toned lip is not something you'd expect to see in every day life. Unless you're color blind, a MAC Cosmetics artist, or a member of Cirque du Soleil. [caption id="attachment_1315" align="alignnone" width="413" caption="Nanette Lepore Fall 2010 Backstage Beauty "][/caption] But this was precisely the beauty trompe l'oeil at Lepore's Fall 2010 collection. When she powwowed with her the hair and makeup stylists for her Fall 2010 show, Nanette Lepore brought a visual aide: a Renaissance painting. Makky for MAC and Esther Langham for Moroccan Oil let it guide their creative decisions for the show. After creating the now-standard perfect matte canvas of the face, Makky gave models a smoky eye with Eye Kohl in Smolder on the top lid as well as the inside rims and finished off with Zoom Mascara.

And the time has now come to announce the winner of the Spring Beauty Booty Giveaway that we held a few weeks ago. Remember how we were giving away over $200 worth of goodies including the delicious Korres Lip Butters, the Guerlain Spring 2010 Blush...

The nails at the Blonds Fall 2010 Fashion Week (by Phillipe & David Blond) were done by the Creative Nail Design team (co-founder Jan Arnold and a host of other talented nail pros). The look was pure ruby red with sequins on them to complement...

The designers Phillip and David Blond (shown below) are more leggy than Elle McPhereson and have celebrities like Rihanna and Adam Lambert as loyal followers. Yesterday, the makeup look for the show was done by Kabuki for MAC Cosmetics and the look was very jungle princess....

The Makeup at Altazurra created by Tom Pecheux for MAC focused on a dark, glossy eye. Using Meeow Lipglass up to the brow, smudged with smolder eye pencil along lash line, and then smudging Fearless Lipstick (a burgundy shade) under the eye as liner - eyes took center stage. Altazurra Fall 2010 Studio Fix Lash Mascara & groomed brows finished this look. Skin had a very clean finish and cheeks were natural. Lips were erased and toned down with foundation to make the eyes the center of attention. Going for a gentle yet hardcore look, Tom Pecheux took his inspiration from the Altazurra collection - the clothes are so powerful that he wanted to create a makeup look that took a back seat to the collection, letting the clothes shine.

The look for Alice & Olivia Fall 2010 was that of a young Parisian in the Spring (ironic, right?). Models were fresh faced and young, with lots of pinks and metallics with shades of smoky dusty rose. Gregory Arlt, Director of Makeup Artistry...

The look at the Zang Toi Fall 2010 show revolved around a beautiful bold lip with simple pulled back hair in a twisted chignon.
