Welcome to Paradise
New York has certainly been looking South for beauty inspiration this Fashion Week! Jeremy Scott gave us another of our favourite looks this week with his Elly May Clampett of The Beverly Hillbillies inspired collection. Fresh, luminous skin, cute-as-a-button freckles and sexy-as-hell liner combine to give us this pinup girl next door (or farm?) makeup. According to Val Garland the look was “Daisy Duke goes to Paradise City”… What a combo!! Read the rest of this entry »
Bollywood Western?
New York Fashion Week has so far brought us some gorgeous designs for Spring/Summer 2012 rtw but none have got us as excited as the amazing hair and makeup created for Thakoon’s latest offering.
Described as ‘Bollywood Western’ and fusing Indian-inspired brights of turquoises, saffrons and oranges with Western shirts, the collection was awash with summer brights to cheer us up as we enjoy the last few days of summer… But perhaps unsurprisingly, it was this striking beauty look that really caught our attention.
The brief provided by designer Panichgul was “the ideal of the iconic American cowboy gone multi-cultural. The color story came from India, inspired by the spice market — but with a cowboy flair”.
Lead artist Diane Kendall for NARS Cosmetics says of the look she created “Because the collection is so colorful, I wanted to focus on a classic, strong brow. I kept the face natural, with a little pink on the cheek for healthy color. On the eyes, I focused on contouring to show strength and attitude, a cowboy attitude that is”.
To create this gorgeous look, Kendall used NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser followed by Zen Blush and Gaiety Blush, a beautiful soft pink due out Feb ’12.
The products used on the eyes were a combination of earthy NARS shadows in taupes and chocolate browns including Bengali, Blondie and the Portobello Duo as well as a touch of Laguna bronzer. Lips were kept soft with Belle de Jour Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, a jumbo crayon with a lipstick-like application. The look was finished with a coating of the champagne gold Versailles nail polish.
And of course we couldn’t end without talking about that INCREDIBLE hair!! Hair stylist Odile Gilbert was instructed by Thakoon that he wanted bright hair and she certainly did not disappoint, painting on powdered colored clay mixed with water to get the candy-coloured hues you see here.
Regardless of what you may make of the collection itself, there’s no denying the clothing, makeup and hair certainly combined to eye-catching effect. We likey!

Cindy Sherman for MAC
We have to say… MAC is KILLIN’ it this year on the collaboration front.
Not content with the already highly anticipated venture with Gareth Pugh due out this November, they have just announced another dream-team partnership with famed photographer Cindy Sherman.
Sherman is well known for her outlandish, conceptual self-portraits depicting herself as everything from a clown to a corpse and uses her photography to comment on many issues in modern life. She works completely alone, assuming the role not only of photographer and model, but also that of hairstylist, wardrobe stylist and of course, makeup artist. This is exactly why this is a DREAM collaboration that has really been a long time coming!
True to form, Sherman has created three images or ‘faces’ for the collection which we have included, each of them showcasing the colours in that particular range. Personally, we are bubbling with excitement just looking at the gorgeous brights! And with the collection not available till September this year, it will be a much needed splash of colour when most other cosmetics brands are sticking to safe, autumnal shades.
All this plus Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin as the new faces for Viva Glam!?!?
Thank you MAC… We love you.
Cindy Sherman for MAC is a limited edition collection and will be available from September 22nd instore and online at www.maccosmetics.co.uk
