Make-Up

For make-up, I needed a little help from my friends, because giving me a blush brush is like handing me a loaded gun. My pseudonym is Mimi Bobeck (sarcasm, I promise!). Thanks to my favorite online style guide, Beauty Blitz, I was able to get some insight with the Make-Up!

Per Beauty Blitz’s piece, Alice + Olivia’s stylized mod-60’s cat eyes and blue shadow (my kind of eyes!) would have been my clear cut winner, but when Vera Wang’s model took to the runway, it was clear that  fresh and clean took the cake as the make-up winner. Vera’s models had a natural, almost dewy look. To say glaze would be harsh, so an ultra feminine glacé shone on the girls’ faces producing a luminescent glow.

Betsey did it again with her runway show at NY MBFW where flashes were not only seen from the photographers’ camera bulbs, but the baubles on the models as well! Lightning bolt dangly earrings were worn by Betsey Johnson’s models and around their neck were mantles of chic greatness, statement piece necklaces in shiny, metallic silver. Atop a few of the models heads were spiked, bejeweled and dazzling caps tilted to the side of their heads. So chic! The lightning bolt earrings are so glam rock I have Ziggy Stardust playing in my head, which is totally a great thing!

Mixing these trends with your formal wear is really easy! Take at a couple of samples that I pulled from our collection of stunning gowns below! Dresses shown: Glam Girl Pink Dress by Hannah S.   and a stunning Strapless Mermaid Evening Gown by Atria.
