I usually avoid posting a lot about Fashion Week, because I really don’t think most people care. More than that, we’re a “I want it now” society, not “I want it 6 months from now”. But hey, when in Rome..
More than anything, I’m just excited to have a Black girl to show! These images are few and far between!
Want to know my go-to ‘night on the town’ look? It’s the non-smokey smokey eye. Dark all around the eye without all of the extra eyeshadow. Simple, and oh, so effective. Here’s the look at Dolce & Gabbana this week. Black and coffee eyeliners, plus eyeshadow quad in Femme Fatale were used for this look. Perfect Finish Creamy Foundation was applied all over face. The makeup team was lead by the one and only Pat McGrath.
Mally beauty created the look for the Tracy Reese 2012 Spring/Summer Fashion Week show. For this gorgeous cheek, Mally’s team used 24/7 Cream Blush kit in Medium High. This looks like the perfect easy-to-wear brown girl pink blush! I’m totally a fan of orange and pink blush on Women of Color, so this gets me giddy. Check out this video tutorial where I wear one of my favorite pink blushes, MAC Azalea.

Fashion’s Night Out was jam packed throughout my Twitter timeline last night. The streets of fashionable cities all over the world threw parties (and had sales) in the name of Vogue. While I love the world of fashion, I’m forever indebted to the world of beauty. Icon Halle Berry and leading makeup artist Gucci Westman were the headliners for Rag & Bone in NYC. Don’t you love how stunning Halle looks? Barely there makeup is always in.

For the second year in a row, MAKE UP FOR EVER is the official makeup sponsor for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim. They’ll be backstage at 13 shows, creating the perfect looks for the runway…and the beach. Look out for them at shows including Ed Hardy Swimwear, Tyler Rose and True Religion Swimwear. In true high fashion form, there will be a MAKE UP FOR EVER beauty cabana set up at The Raleigh, ready to touch up your look.
If you happen to be in the massive state of Florida, stop by Sephora South Beach on Saturday, July 17th from 4-7p. The “Smudge-Proof your Summer Makeup” party is definitely a must stop. Who doesn’t want makeup that will last through sweat, rain, ocean water and a mid-summer breakup? They’ll be doing complimentary makeovers for a hot night out.
We all know and love little Siriano from Project Runway. He’s been a huge force in the industry ever since. He waltzed past me last year at Spring/Summer Fashion Week with a flock of ‘razzi in front, around, and behind him, snapping away. His afterparty at The Eldridge is still being talked about. Guests were served Armand de Brignac Champagne, the best of the best. We’ve heard Shawn Carter (and slews of other that have money..or those who have friends that have money) tell us all about Ace of Spades! Could I have a sip? Please?
May I please draw your attention to the fabulous dark, bold lip that Amber Rose is wearing? It’s nice to see her without Kanye, looking quite lovely. I’ve never been a big AR fan, but I do like that she marches to the beat of her own drum. The contrast of this deep lip and her bleached shaved head and tan-ish skin is stellar. I’m so proud of her for doing a style with class, poise and substance! Reminds me of the Burgundy Lip Of The Day I featured a few months back!
Other attendees included Mena Suvari,and Alex and Simon of the Real Housewives of New York! I secretly like that uptight couple! They want the absolute best for their children and that is commendable. So excited for the premiere next month?

Take my breath away, Dior! As much as I love Ready-To-Wear fashion, Haute Couture gives you something extra to live for. Garments are detailed to the max and really pushed to the limit. I love it five times as much when the same thing happens with the beauty! How absolutely stunning is this?!? Skin was dusted with white fx powder to give the illusion of porcelain skin. Here, they used one of my favorite makeup strategies. Use a soft purple to really open the eye! I can’t think of an easier way to look more awake, more alive, more on point!
Here’s my interpretation of the the look:
1. Use a frosty white (or for brown girls, a beige) eye shadow on the lid and brow bone area. Try a loose shimmer powder like Jesse’s Girl Eye Dust in Pixie Dust ($3).
2. Apply a vivid purple eyeshadow to the crease using a fluffy brush, blending well. For an all in one kit, try the 5 Color Eyeshadow in Night Butterfly ($58). Pricey? A bit. I collect matte purple shadows like it’s my job. The first product I would use is Make Up For Ever eye shadow number 92 ($19). It’s a stunner.
3. Contour cheeks with a nudeish blush. I’ve always stuck by MAC Blunt blush ($18). It works wonders every time!
4. A vicious matte red lip finishes the look. The first thing that comes to mind automatically is MAC Ruby Woo ($14). It’s a staple lipstick in the purses of many, many, many women.
5. Finish the effect with Miss Dior Cherie Eau De Parfum ($59). It’s lady like, and oh, so Dior!
