[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

So it’s autumn, and it is already getting cold here.  I’m thinking of all the goodies that I want to bake and hibernating! Summer is over!  🙁

The one thing that I do like about colder weather are the rich colours and luxe fabrics and this season purple and oxblood are the stars!

So Zoya has 3 colour collections for their fall offering.  The Fall collection has been inspired by the runways and designers at NYFW and some of these shades are really, off the runway! Here is the Gloss Collection.

Backstage!! With Venexiana and Mehron at NYFW SS13

Hey!

I was so excited for this amazing opportunity! I was going to observe the madness behind the scenes!! So I hustled to Lincoln Center in the pouring rain to the Venexiana show, on Saturday Sept, 8th.

The makeup was being done by Mehron, which is a professional makeup line, known for their long-wear, theatrical, highly pigmented products.  They are particularly popular amongst professional dancers.  Did you know that Mehron was the brand featured and used in the movie “Black Swan” with Natalie Portman?  I have tried a few of their products and they are amazing and well priced!

Anyway, the show was keyed by the amazing body painter/makeup artist Dani Fonseca.  Venexiana is known for their rock and roll haute couture vibes, expensive fabrics with an edge and the makeup had to suit!  Typically, from what I have seen, makeup on the runway tends to be fairly simple, very neutral on the lid, occasionally a bright lip, but the idea is to not to compete with the clothes, but Kati Stern, the creator of Venexiana, wanted a bold, smoky eye with standout lashes!

I told you this was huge! This is the last of the Andy Warhol/NARS collaboration, and it includes more gift sets.  Take a look….

“You must always be yourself no matter what the price. It is the highest form of morality.” – Candy, muse of Andy Warhol

EVERYBODY IS A SUPERSTAR. AT LEAST FOR 15 MINUTES.

In a new makeup gifting collection for department and specialty stores, NARS captures the spirit of Warhol’s Silver Factory. The edgy energy of the Screen Tests, the intense color of the silkscreens, and the cool of Warhol’s superstars – underground icons and downtown divas who amazed audiences just by being themselves. For Andy the factory characters were like a full spectrum palette – personality as color.
