Last Friday I had the privilegde of attending the launch of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics’ new line of tinted moisturizers called OCC Tint. This event took place at the Wonderland Beauty Parlour in the Meatpacking District. What a great way to start off the weekend, playing with makeup!
OCC continues to expand its OCC Skin product line (they introduced a line of vegan brushes this year) and this time they have focused on lightweight makeup suitable for today’s hi-definition standards.
According to OCC:
OCC Tint, our hand-applied tinted moisturizer boasts an unparalleled amount of adjustable coverage, available in a wide range of ultra-moisturizing shades that look as great in person as they do in close-up on HDTV and in a hi-res digital photograph. This alternative to airbrush application is already a Make-Up Artists’ favorite, recently field-tested by the Artists at OCC during New York and Los Angeles Fashion Week.
I’m sooooo excited!!! I attended last year for the first time in NYC and wrote about it here and here. I met a lot of wonderful people, both bloggers and makeup artists, attended a few of the seminars and thoroughly enjoyed myself visiting all the booths of makeup companies, learning about new brands and picking items from my list.
This 5th year of THS promises to be the biggest and best with dozens of internationally renowned makeup artists and makeup exhibitors. If you are a makeup artist, you must attend!! THS will be hosted in NYC on May 15th and 16th.
Here is a list of a few of the artists that are going to be attending:
So bridal season is just around the corner and Urban Decay has come out with a survival kit for that big day called the Urban Bride kit.
Urban Bride
Filled with essentials for keeping a bride’s makeup looking fresh throughout the tears, the pictures, the weather, anything! Also great for bridesmaids and other members of the bridal party. Wrapped in beautiful hand-drawn packaging, this would also make a great gift!
The kit contains:
Razor Sharp Ultra-Definition Finishing Powder – (3.75 g mini) diffuses lines for a flawless airbrushedlook, and the translucent shade suits all skin tones. The photographer and the DJ can flash their brightest lights her way because she’ll still look AMAZING.
Eyeshadow Primer Potion – (Full Size) ensures her eyeshadow stays vibrant, true and CREASE-FREEthroughout the ceremony, pictures, dancing and well-after her garter comes off.
Supercurl Curling Mascara – boosts, separates and conditions lashes, while its super sculptingpolymers hold the curl. Even if she throws a tirade at some point, no one will be able to hate her with those lashes.
Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Midnight Cowboy – (Travel Size 3.6 ml) gives her all the shine she wantswithout any tacky stickiness. This soft, cushiony-textured gloss endures, and the sheer nude sparkle of Midnight Cowboy can be worn alone or over any shade of lipstick.
All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray – (15 ml spray bottle; perfect for her purse!) is aweightless mist that sets makeup for 16 hours. It utilizes temperature control technology to prevent makeup from melting off when it’s hot and humid outside or from becoming dehydrated when it’s cold and dry.
Marshmallow Sparkling Lickable Body Powder – (Travel Size 10g) a glistening, edible body powderto highlight her shoulders and décolletage beautifully, as well as treat her other half to a little dessert too!
So as I previously mentioned, I did a little damage at IMATS and picked up a few items from Stila Cosmetics.
So the first things I went for were the Long Wear Liquid Lip Color. Felicia from ThisThatBeauty rocks Fiery, a deep red matte lip colour ALL OF THE TIME! And it looks great on her, so course I had to have it. I met Bethany Townes and she was wearing a gorgeous fuschia colour and it turned out to be Caprice. Here are the swatches:
