One of the most pervasive beauty trends identified during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2013 has been the abundance of bold, smoky, somewhat cat-shaped eyes in deep shades of indigo blue, cobalt, and violet.
In previous years, fashion designer Jen Kao has opted for rather minimalist makeup looks when showing at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week but, for Fall 2013, she told MAC Cosmetics’ key makeup artist Yadim that she wanted to go a different route and showcase a stronger, more commanding look.
The makeup, hair, and nail looks created for the Creatures of the Wind Fall 2013 show, which took place earlier today at Eyebeam Studios in New York City, touched upon the many concepts that informed the collection – from the references to the bold colors and dynamic street art that typified 1980s youth culture to the Pop Art-influenced, kitschy, and colorful furniture pieces designed by Italian design and architecture group Memphis Group.
While your love might not cost a thing (to paraphrase J.Lo), every girl enjoys a token of affection from time to time — however humble or extravagant it might be.
Finding the right hair oil can feel like a Goldilocks-worthy endeavor (well, minus the trespassing, loitering, and property damage that wretched child wrought upon the three bears) —some are too rich, weighing hair down and leaving behind a greasy residue; some are too light, failing to properly moisturize and smooth your tresses; and some are, well, just right.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of filming a new beauty segment for Telemundo’s “Mujer de Hoy,” this time focusing on makeup looks inspired by Disney princesses and on cosmetic sets that nod to classic fairy tales like Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty.
On December 13th, I hosted an event at Shea Moisture’s Holiday Pop-Up Store in New York City’s Bryant Park in New York City and, the following day, I made sure to share some photos with you lovely readers so that you could feel like you were part of the fun. And, of course, now that all the event photos have trickled in, I wanted to offer a more detailed look at what I wore to the event.
Happy New Year, everyone!
