Diary of a Makeup Artist #30 Fashion (homework)

Working on Luxury's Spring Fashion Editorial tomorrow, I've been scouring the Spring Ready to Wear Fashion Week's runways for inspiration.  This first look I found is Ginvenchy.  I love the bleached eye brows and the minimal makeup, this was a super popular trend, Ginvenchy pulled it off best IMO.  But I dont think its suitable for my client's demographic.  But I do love it..
This is from Versace, This beachy hair seems to be all the rave on the runways again. And I LOVE the purple eyeshadow, I have nothing like this in my portfolio. 
BUT I question the look on our model.  She has really dark brown hair. In fact here she is.

None of the models in this show were of these features, all had very soft coloring.  Actually now that I think about it,  being an ethnic looking model this season probably meant you didnt work much runway, it was all about the caucasian girl.


My ultimate fave is the Christian Dior look, no surprise here, I am a Dior Addict.  I love the starlet feel.
Here is a Dolce and Gabanna look.  I think somewhere between these two is where I'm leaning, I love the soft and unkempt eyebrows, and this red lip trend had me at hello.  Now its just a matter of the fashion I have to work around...  wish me luck!

Hey, Marlee is set to go with the eyebrows. She doesn't even need to bleach hers. But I don't know about the messy eyebrows. They might be a little too fashion forward for me. And red lipstick makes me look awful, but I love it on others.
Good luck to you! I know whatever you decide will be great!

Cool- I would look terrible with bleached eyebrows. They are already blonde enough

Those bleached eyebrows look funny! I'm so unsophisticated, huh? :/

Wishing you much luck! I'm partial to the Starlet look, too. Although the last one I like a lot.

I loved red lipstick when I was young. Eighteen years later, I don't think it would work out so well...

I used to wear red lipstick all the time way back when. I had platinum blonde hair too if you can imagine.

Fool Who Ripped her Pants..

That's right Sponge Bob, you're not the only one! At some point today at my daughter's Cobra Kid Award assembly I quite possibly may have ripped the seat of my cargo capris. Question is when exactly. See all the parents sit in the back of the multi purpose room (what happened to separate gyms, cafeterias and auditoriums?) When your kid's class is called, that's your Que to get your camera ready because your child is about to receive the coveted Cobra Kid Award. Get your butt up out of your chair and get close (especially if you don't have a super powered lens on your camera, cuz your lucky if you will even be able to catch a decent Kodak moment in the lighting provided by elementary schools). So did it happen before or after I stood up to take pictures of Mr. Newkirk's 4th grade class with my back (and behind) to the gamut of proud parents? Or did it happen at Costco? One can only hope not to see a mother of two arching her back while pushing a heavy laden...

Diary of a Makeup Artist #24 - Nothin At All

"Who is your favorite celebrity you've worked with?" This is a question I get asked often. Honestly it makes me uncomfortable because I feel like my favorite isn't the asker's favorite and they're never impressed. Jude Law, Sylvester Stallone, Molly Sims... none hold a candle to "Heart"in my book. I can still remember in the 8 th grade opening a gift that contained a cassette entitled "HEART". This was MY tape, not my dad's L.P. that he would make me a copy of, this was a true cassette with a genuine cover and the songs printed (not handwritten) on the cassette itself. Ooooh see see, the lyrics are written in the jacket, no more rewinding and fast forwarding trying to figure out the words to my favorite songs. And look how cool Ann and Nancy were, I'll be staring at this for hours thank you very much, AND it rocked! Listening to Ann belt out a rockin tune in her amazing crisp and rich voice was not new to me. See my dad Te...

Back in the Saddle Again!

Well the California Dreamin is over for now, we are back in the swing of things in good old Boulder City. School started two days ago and the vacation ended a week ago. It was nice to escape the Vegas heat and I did sneak off to Mickey's place for a day (one day is CLEARLY not enough time to hang at the Magic Kindom). Even though I could have spent a week there, my marriage would never have survived, you see my hubby has a bad taste for Disneyland. He says its my fault, that I've burned him out on it. I say its because he doesn't have that twinkle in his eye, that Disney Magic in his blood. Well at least the monkeys do. He does have some great pool boy skills though. Wink wink! Well the dreamy do nothing vacation came to an end and the real world has set in. Problem with dreamy is it gets boring and you have nothing to blog about except dreaminess. Eh! I've been back a week, so there's plenty of crap to report, but I'll start here... Good to be back at ...
