Yves Saint Laurent
Key makeup artist Pat McGrath had originally designed YSL’s makeup look with vivid purple lips but that’s not what the models appeared on the runway in. Last minute, McGrath changed her mind saying “the face needs to be more open and sexy” and makeup artists scrambled to replace the purple pouts with a creamy peach lipstick.

Alessandra Ambrosio for Vogue Nippon
Alessandra Ambrosio’s new editorial for Vogue Nippon’s December 2010 issue is amazing. She looks flawless, and even though I’m usually a strong advocate against blue lipstick, she pulls it off! Wish I could say the same for Ke$ha..
What Do You Think? Love it? Hate it?
Orange Lips are Here to Stay!
From the Runway: Spring 2011 Trend Alert
Last Summer we reported on the Orange Lip Trend taking over the runway, fashion ads and celebrity puckers. Well, it’s not going away any time soon! This season’s runways have been filled with orange lips. From neon, to glossy, to matte, the makeup artists working the shows have given us every type of orange lip we could ever dream about 
Check out this post on how you can pull off orange yourself! Here

Bal Masque Editorial Paris Vogue October 2010
WOWWW
The Bal Masque story in October’s issue of Paris Vogue is one of my favorite of the entire year!! The spread, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, appears in Paris Vogue’s 90th Anniversary issue. Who knew 90 could look so amazing?
Happy October!! What a Perfect Way to Start the Month
Inspiration: Karlie Kloss in W Magazine
Holy amazingness!! I am in love with this fashion story from W Magazine’s October 2010 issue featuring model, Karlie Kloss.
GORGEOUS!!
NYFW Spring 2011 Day 2
New York Fashion Week Spring 2011
Alexander Berardi
The skin at the Alexander Berardi show was gorgeous! It looked perfectly clean, healthy and flawless. The model’s upper lashlines were given some definition with black liner and mascara and the lower lashlines were slightly defined with what looks like a neutral shadow or eyeliner. Lips were kept a natural, rosy nude. Love this look!!
Ports 1961
Model’s walking the Ports 1961 runway were given a shimmery bronzed eye with highlights on the inner corner, using a golden yellow shadow. The cheeks were defined with a creamy peach blush and a flesh colored, glossy lip topped off the look.
Key Makeup Artist: Val Garland for MAC
Peter Som
I’m a sucker for a totally clean face with a bright pop of color, so obviously the look at the Peter Som show won me over at first sight ! Love, love, love the bright yellow, thick eyeliner swiped across the model’s upper lashlines.
Key Makeup Artist: Tom Pecheux
Jason Wu
Green and purple, cat eye shaped eyeshadow was the focus of the makeup look at the Jason Wu show. The colors start light and shimmery on the inner corners of the eye, and they deepened as they extended outward past the eye.
Key Makeup Artist: Diane Kendal for Sheseido
Edition by Georges Chakra
The focal point of the makeup in the Edition by Georges Chakra show was definitely the cheeks! Like the Christian Siriano and Ruffian shows yesterday, I love how the blush has been applied in a “C” shape from the temple to the cheeks! The eyes were slightly defined and a glossy, coppery peach lipstick was applied to the lips.
Key Makeup Artist: Terry Barber for MAC
BCBG Max Azria
So fresh and clean, the skin is perfected and highlighted to perfection! This minimalistic look compliments the clothing flawlessly.
Key Makeup Artist: Charlotte Willer for Maybelline
Michael Angel
Very similar to BCBG’s clean makeup look with perfect, highlighted skin and eyes, and a soft pink lip.
Key Makeup Artist: Charlotte Willer for Maybelline
Nicole Miller
Clean is definitely the choice look this season! The model’s walking in the Nicole Miller show looked effortlessly chic with their glowy skin and nude, pink lips. Their eyelids were slightly defined with a shimmery grey eyeshadow blended into the crease. So pretty!
Key Makeup Artist: James Kaliardos for MAC
Rag and Bone
The look at the Rag and Bone show was what I like to call “dirty clean” gorgeousness haha. The eyes were slightly defined with a neutral, tan eyeshadow and I’m in love with the glossy eyebrow.
Key Makeup Artist: Gucci Westman for Revlon
Loving the looks so far but where are the lips???? Nude is definitely the color of the season.
NYFW Spring 2011 – Day 1
Here We Go Again!
New York Fashion Week Spring 2011 Has Officially Started
Ruffian
Bronze was the color on the Ruffian runway today. Models wore bronzy gold eyeshadow that extended out and blended into their temple area. Sparkly gold pigment was applied to the inner corners of the eye to make them pop , while the cheeks and lips were kept a neutral, pretty peach.
Ps.. Look at how hot the nails are!!
Key Makeup Artist: James Kaliardos for MAC
Nicholas K
Models walking in the Nicholas K show were seen rockin’ khaki eyeshadow blended all the way up to their brows. The eye was smokey and dramatic but still surprisingly soft. Is it just me, or do the models look like they are wearing yellow blush? I hope so!!
I’m also really loving the fishtail, side braid!
Key Makeup Artist: Lyne Desnoyers for MAC
Christian Siriano
OMG I love this look. A lot.
Christian Siriano’s models wore a bright, pink-y peach blush blended perfectly into their temples, browbone, and onto their cheeks. The rest of the look was kept super simple with a touch of peach eyeshadow and a very nude lip.
Key Makeup Artist: Polly Osmond for Victoria Secret Beauty
Richard Chai Love
At the Richard Chai Love show, models’ eyes were rimmed all the way around with black eye pencil. Both corners of the eye were connected in a winged V shape. The nude lip color used was Revlon’s “Fashion’s Night Pout,” a limited edition color created by Westman herself!
Key Makeup Artist: Gucci Westman for Revlon
Bensoni
I’m scared of the hair from the Bensoni show but I love that the makeup was fun and colorful! Lime green defined the outer corners of the model’s eyes, as well as along their lower lashlines. Pink shadow was applied the the inner corners of their eyes and the eyebrows were completely erased.
Cushnie Et Ochs
White eyeshadow was heavily applied full circle around the model’s eyes at the Cushnie Et Ochs show. The skin was given a dewy finish, eyebrows were kept natural and no mascara or eyeliner was needed.
Key Makeup Artist: Sarah Tanno for MAC
Richie Rich
Several seasons ago, Pam Anderson walked the runway at Richie Rich’s Fashion Week display.. This year, the designer chose Ellen Degeneres to close the show! Fortunately (and unfortunately), Ellen opted against the blue hooker eyeshadow and smeared lipstick the other models had to wear. Extreme, colorful and fun, what else can you expect from Richie Rich?
A Little Bit of World Cup Inspired Fashion…
I have to admit, I do not know much about the World Cup but I’m loving these shots from Vogue Korea June 2010! See… fashion and sports can go together!
Speaking of mixing fashion and sports, the FIFA World Cup trophy will be traveling in style this year!! Louis Vuitton created a special travel case for it, which was unveiled June 1st.
The Power of Transformation: Miranda Kerr
Just about everyone knows who Miranda Kerr is, and if you don’t know her name, chances are you’ve seen her modeling in the pages of a Victoria Secret catalog. While most Victoria Secret Angels usually have a hard time breaking out the the “sexy” mold, Miranda Kerr has had no problem, and recenly been gracing the pages of major fashion magazines such as Vogue, i-D and V.
Check out the amazing transformation makeup (along with hair/lighting/wardrobe etc) can make!!
How we are used to seeing Miranda, in lingerie and sexy makeup…
When I first saw this cover I had no idea who the cover model was! Her eyebrows have been bleached and the bronzer has been erased 
In a recent issue of Numero. I love her yellow hair and eyebrows!!
Vogue Russia January 2010
V Magazine. Crimson lips and no eyebrows.
Walking in the Balenciaga Spring 2010 runway show at Paris Fashion Week.
