Makeup Trends for Spring

 If there is one trend I noticed on the runway at NY Fashion Week it is that makeup is minimal.

There were bits of emphasis here and there but overall the looks were clean, groomed and bare.

At Rag & Bone, there was a little white shine on the eyelid with a well groomed brow, at Altuzarra there was a little fake lash on the upper and lower lids in the center of the eye with a pale pink lip, and at Oscar de la Renta the look was graphic black eyeliner with a subtle pink stain on the cheeks and lip.

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.

Rain turned to slush and then snow

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.
