MAC for Valli Show

Pro longwear concealer and the prime highlighter was used to bring the skin to its flawless natural complexion, while evening the tone of the skin while brightening. The eyes were defined using a tinted shade to create a strong brow, for a more natural look, without filling in with color. On the lips, he used a conditioner tube to hydrate, and then blotted to remove shine. “Beauty and simplicity of really perfect looking natural skin. Raw realism, handsome heroes, re-born skin” – Val Garland.

For Veronique Branquinho’s show, Inge Grognard went for a eye catching look with a bold use of color around the eyes making it the focal point of the face. “A positive dark mood incorporating orange… a flattering colour that brings out the colour in the eyes” -Inge Grognard. The face began with face body and foundation blended over moisturized skin. Studio finish concealer was used only where necessary adding the perfect finishing touch. Face and Body was used, 2 shades lighter, to highlight over the cheekbones and bridge of nose. The eyes were lined with Blacktrack, drawn on under the eye not quite reaching the corners. Over the upper lash is Blacktrack fluidline, drawn on very tightly along the upper lashline, creating a solid line through the length o the eye. MAC’s Pro genuine Orange Chromaline is applied above backtrack creating a solid, bold, orange line. Orange eye shadow is then patted over. Neo Orange pigment and orange eye shadow are mixed and added. The eyes are finished with NC15?NW20 Chromagraphic Pencil and Haute and Naughty black mascara applied lightly to deepen and define. The lips were finished with the conditioner tube to neutralize. This look is bold and attractive for Paris Fashion Week.

MAC looks for Chloe Kenzo

MAC looks for Chloe & Kenzo at Paris Fashion Week

Chloe wanted to showcase the iconic Chloe girl who is both eerie and pretty. Models had perfect skin with pinky nude blush on the cheeks. We received a preview of the Beautiful Iris Eye Shadow, and to top it off, the lips were left natural.

Kenzo wanted a “1950’s, with a slight punk edge” look for his models. With eyebrows to frame the face and an embellished eye with a punk edge, we certainly got that feel. To level the eyes, there was a uniform complexion with shimmery highlights. A Pearl Crème base was placed on the lips to give us that girl.

MAC at Paris Fashion Week on February 28

AF Vandervorst picked a neutral palette to work with. The models had bare eyes but highlighted cheeks. However, with Ruby Woo Lipstick, the lips popped on the runway making it the focal point.

Issey Miyake wanted the “spirit of the forest.” His women walked the runway with clean skin and cool flush on the cheeks. The forest really spoke through the Pure Flash Electric Cool Eye Shadow, which really highlighted the eyelids. Hydrated lips finished the look.

Julien David focused on the word pure. To achieve that look, there was an even, perfected skin that softened the face. To stick with the theme, fingers blended in the Close To You Lipstick to give the cheeks a slight flush. Silver eye shadow and black mascara gave definition to the eyes.

Vanessa Bruno had Amelia Earhart in mind for her makeup. Sun Power Mineralize was placed over face to give a nice sun kissed look. With curled lashes, brushed eyebrows and Twig lipstick to finish the looks, it clearly had us flying.

MAC Makeup at Paris Fashion Week


Haider Ackermann gave us a society woman, stripped down and raw. To balance an exaggerated brow, we saw a luminous glow on the face with shimmery highlights.

Vivienne Westwood was inspired by a tribe in Peru. Using sheer and matte colors to draw the connection, Westwood completed the look with a sneak peak at MAC’s fall 2014 nail colors. The gold and matte colors were quite but impactful.

Rock That Fashion LA Recap: Zhang Jingjing

The gorgeous gowns presented by Zhang Jingjing were red carpet worthy. One after another, glittering pieces of art came floating down the catwalk. After picking my jaw up a couple of times, I continued to photograph the gowns, some floor sweeping while others were mini’s embellished with intricate beading and feathered ruffle skirts. The beauty was in the details, delicate stones and fringe glittered under the runway lights while the models walked elegantly, their braided crowns perched neatly on their heads.

Rock That Fashion LA Recap: Meat Packing District

There was definite edgy attitude in the air tonight with the fashion seen throughout the evening, however it wasn’t more apparent than during the Meat Packing District collection presentation.

Models exuded personality with sassy poses and smoldering stares. Oversized shoulder silhouettes, black lace cut-outs and sequins eluded to an 80’s vibe, while the men rocked distressed denim, cargos and black leather.

The piece de resistance was the parachute dress seen in acid green.

Rock That Fashion LA Spotlight: Camille

If cavemen and women put on fashion shows in between hunting for food and trying to outrun sabertooth tigers, I believe that this would be the show that would be presented. Rugged and raw, Camille put on a fiercly hot show for her latest collection. Tribal inspired, the true beauty shined through in her elaborate headwear that completed each look. Cut-out bathing suits and bikinis, some embellished with fur, were worn with silky capes and headdresses, while dresses were adorned with high necks and even higher leg slits, calling to the wild woman in us all.
