Going into the backstage area for the Tracy Reese Fall 2010 show, which was held on Monday, February 15th at New York City’s Bryant Park, I knew to expect ultra feminine makeup and hair looks — but, since that’s quite a broad spectrum, I was curious to see exactly how that girlish charm would be manifested.
Dark eyes and nude lips have been ruling the runway for Fall 2010, though there have been various iterations of this combination.
It’s the theatricality of fashion shows, the performance art element woven into each presentation, that always lures me in, enticing me to look closer — it’s what makes my eyes twinkle with excitement, and what stamps a show into my memory bank (or, in the case, of those more lackluster shows, allows them to ebb away into oblivion hours after the finale walk).
My absolute favorite makeup and hair look thus far were conceived for the Vena Cava Fall/Winter 2010 show held yesterday afternoon at Milk Studios in New York City.
Full disclosure: I’m not fond of Kim Kardashian.
Tinted moisturizers don’t tend to be my cup of tea.
I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t love DKNY’s Be Delicious fragrance — it’s one of those scents with universal appeal: fresh, fruity, and sparkling.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m completely fascinated by perfumers — how they come to develop their exquisite sense of smell, how their career paths unfold, and how they can instinctively cream up different fragrance blends (and more importantly, conceive of the exact formulation of components) in order to pull off a masterpiece of a perfume.
