Benefit Makeup At the 2011 A/W Taka Naka Show

The last show that I attended for London Fashion Week was the Taka-Naka presentation. Designed by twins (nicknamed Taka and Naka), the collection had two very distinct looks to it: prints inspired by comic books from the late 1950's and a clean, almost conservative Jackie O. feel. Naturally, the makeup look created by Alex Byrne for Benefit Cosmetics incorporated both of these styles which Alex Read more

2011 Autumn Winter Aquascutum Show in London

I was totally blown away by the hair and makeup yesterday the Aquascutum show. It's one thing to create a bare looking face and bouncy hair, but when you do it with such perfection, it's envy of every girl. MAC provided all of the makeup and lead artist Cher Webb was on hand to talk to me about "the wholesome, healthy, rich girl style" that she was aiming to achieve. She began by using Studio Read more

Erdem 2011 AW Fashion Show

The clothing at Erdem was fun and elegant in bright prints with sexy cutouts and sinful shapes. I sat across from Jo Wood and Janice Dickinson, so the entertainment wasn't too bad either!

MAC Makeup at the 2011 Autumn Winter Acne Fashion Show

Despite the displeasing beauty connotation that the term acne has, I can assure you that in the fashion world, the brand is quite the opposite. Swedish designer Jonny Johansson created "not a rich, but cool" collection that included earthy mauve and mustard tones in lots of leather and hints of metallics and electric blues to suit its wide audience. Not to take anything away from Jonny's designs, Read more
