Purple is the New Black

I have been obsessed with purple lately - specifically shades of lilac.

Like this lip and cheek stain combo from Benefit.  It's the perfect summer shade and looks great with a tan.




My favorite nail polish is Chanel's Sweet Lilac.



Enjoy the last month of summer by drinking the PURPLE KOOL-AID like me.  

Okay, and I recently had my hair dyed a shade of grayish purple - thanks Michael M @Veer & Wander Salon

Rag & Bone Behind the Scenes

During New York's Fashion Week (Feb 7 - 14) I worked on 5 shows with Gucci Westman.  Rag & Bone was our first show and then the big snow storm hit.

Here are some shots from behind the scenes of the makeup Gucci designed.  Guido did the hair.

Karlie's New Cut

Supermodel Karlie Kloss has a new haircut thanks to Garren.  It's a just above-the-shoulder length bob with bangs!

Personally, I love it.  It's refreshing when I see a model that's willing to cut the long tresses.



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.

J MENDEL Backstage Spring '13

For J Mendel Gucci's makeup was a lightly smokey eye with a hint of lip color.  She applied a medium shade of brown on the crease of the lid and blended outward using Revlon Colorstay Eye Shadow Quad 500 Addictive Intoxiquant.

One of the most important features in Gucci's makeup is to make the skin look flawless.  To achieve this she starts with  Dr Hauschka's Rose Day Cream.
