Work with Piperlime

I have been working with Piperlime and having a blast with our talented team.  Our model Alissa is so versatile that I love changing her hair and makeup.

Rag & Bone Backstage Spring 2013

At Rag & Bone Gucci Westman designed a clean fresh look perfect for Spring.



The face had a fresh look with the brows being the prominent feature.  On the eyes she put a brown matte shadow in the crease and blended outward.  The cheeks had a well blended creme blush in 2 shades of brown with a small dab of pink on the apples (not too high).  On the lips she used a warm brown color with a little gloss for a sexy finish.

Guido designed the hair.  He slicked the hair off the face and kept it long and flowing in the back, using extensions on girls who needed more length.


The show was packed as usual.


Daryl K Spring '12 Show

I always try to attend a few fashion shows when I'm in NY and last Fall I went to Daryl K's 20th Anniversary Show.  She is an amazing designer and I have a lot of her current and older stuff.  I always get compliments when I wear her clothes.  Confession:  I finally splurged on her black leather leggings and I haven't looked back.

The Queen of Cool.

Oscar Backstage Fall '12

Oscar de la Renta showed some beautiful gowns on the runway at New York Fashion Week.  Gucci Westman designed the makeup which was very doll-like with a light brown smokey eye, pink cheeks, pink lips and of course, a lot of luminescence on the skin.  Orlando Pita designed the hair which was built up around the crown and sides to create a lot of volume and secured into a ponytail in the back.

Overall it was a modern Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffanys".  Nothing bad could happen to a girl at Tiffany's, right?

Backstage at Rag & Bone Fall '12

Now that New York Fashion Week is over and I am back home I can look back at the trends in makeup and hair that I noticed.

Back stage at the Rag & Bone show we were all so busy getting the girls ready that I didn't have much time to snap pictures.

The makeup that Gucci Westman designed was a really pale face with lots of luminescence, a black lined eye - heavier on the lower lid and ending in a blunt squared off edge, contoured cheeks, and a stained lip.


Using these products:   Becca is Gucci's favorite illuminator and we used it at every show.  I bought some for $41 at Duane Reade.  The Revlon creme shadow palette is also a favorite and we used the medium matte brown as contour.  The liquid liner was used in the corner for emphasis and a thin liquid line was applied to the upper lash line.  Mascara on upper lids.  The lip stains are Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable in Adore and Crush.  We blended them and then dabbed them off to leave a matte finish.
