The best makeup of NYFW S/S’14 by Dani Fonseca and Mehron

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Now that New York Fashion Week is a wrap, I spent some time browsing a ton of looks done for the runway.  By far, one of my favourite looks continues to be Dani Fonseca’s creation for the Venexiana runway show.  I love the use of colour, the bold simplicity of the look, and how wearable it is!!  Dani does amazing work and she did not disappoint!

I was able to visit backstage to get details on the overall look.  Of course it was madness before the show, but everything just falls in place in time for the curtain raise!

So this look was all about bright, coloured liner on the top and bottom, out-to-there lashes, also on the top and bottom, flawless, natural skin with contouring and just bitten lips!

And here’s the look!

This Zoya collection has some Irresistible colours for Summer 2013!

This post contains press samples.

Zoya’s Irresistible Collection is a bold, rich metallic take on summer.  The colours are bright, pigmented, but slightly deepened and they would transition well into the autumn.  And because of the metallic/foil finish, it is irresistible to me!  All the polishes are on the thicker side and all have a very intense, dense glitter that dries down to a foil finish that feels smooth to the touch.  I applied 2 coats for each swatch, which gave full coverage in most of the colours.  Three of the colours are cool/silver-toned

and the other 3 are warm/gold-toned.

Here are the swatches!

Rikki

Rikki – a leafy green polish with silver, metallic glitter.   This is not super deep, nor is it pastel coloured.  Just in-between, medium toned.  The green does not stand out against the silver glitter, so the colour is not as intense as the other polishes.  I would say that the green and the silver colours are evenly balanced.  Nice colour.
