Annie S. Show at New York Fashion Week

The Annie Segua 2011 Silver Label Collection Fashion Show was my kick off show for NY Fashion Week/ Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. The show was held at Midtown Loft on 267 5th Ave. The show was keyed by Makeup Artist Diana Manzanares and Hair Stylist Melissa Paldino. Makeup was sponsor by L'OREAL Cosmetics and Hair was sponsor by Sexy Hair.

Diana did the first young lady for us to show the look that she wanted for the models. Her vision for the makeup was Marilyn Monore in the 21st century. The color palette was neutrals and gold. Eyes, contoured using a shimmer gold. On the lid deeper brown fading out outwards to create depth. A slight sultry effect using black liquid eyeliner and fading out with shadow. Face, was contoured with powder and bronzer to give a sun kissed glow. Cream highlighter was mixed with foundation and on the cheekbones for a dewy look. Lips, was painted with a copperish color kind of a rust penny like color.

Makeup call time was at: 11:00 am

Models needed to be ready at: 3:30 pm

Show time was at: 4:00 pm

The makeup artist team consisted of: Samantha Lennon, Kelia Rivera, Mahogany Brown, and of course myself Brandy Gomez-Duplessis :)

Fashion Forward Bandaids: Stacey Bendet's 4Am Finds

How cute are these! Designer Cynthia Rowley thinks of it all. Don't you just hate when you are going out on the town but you have to hide a nasty cut with that old, yucky looking band aid. I mean seriously, it just puts a damper on the whole mood. Well, not anymore. Fast forward to the new era of band aids. Bejeweled band aids to keep the mood and the party going. Love, love, love these and they're only $10 bucks.

See Ya!

Grey Eyes is the New Black for Brides

This spring Chanel worked grey during their runway show. This fall grey was also found on the runways of Rag & Bone, Catherine Malandrino and Oscar De La Renta Collections. Inspired by the runway, brides are walking down the aisle with sultry, brilliant shades of grey eye shadows. Sexy shades from heather grey to deep grey will be the choice of color for many brides instead of a smoky black eye. These stunning steel and graphite tones will glisten all season long, while metallic grey eye shadows will work perfect for any evening destination wedding.

Get the above look using Sephora collection. Here’s how to achieve it using the All Over Medium Eyeshadow:
Apply R2 (Shimmer Grey) from lash lines to crease and blend over brow bones.
Apply R1 (Shimmer Black) shadow on the outer corners and blend into the crease.
Apply L1 (Matte Black) on the outer corners and fade a third of the way in.
Highlight the brow bone with L4 (Matte Cream).
Brighten the inner corners with L5 (Shimmer Pearl).
Apply the Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner in Black along the lash lines.
Finish with Atomic Volume Mascara in Ultra Black.
