Get the look: Nicole Miller @ MBFW ft. Alcone at Home

Hey there Poptarts

                          Day 2 (I'm late I know, don't hate me) and designer Nicole Miller was on the catwalk. Florals, patterns and artistic designs rules her show. 

Seriously the CUTEST part of the show...model jumble

The runway is always hot but backstage is where you really get a feel of what's happening. And what caught my eye was of course the faces. 

Bold monochromatic (yes, it's all about one color...take note) eyes in browns and taupes had me overjoyed. Not to mention the raspberry bold lips....LOVE!!!! Eyebrows were pronounced, definitely couldn't miss them. 

 

 

Lets start with the face, a demi-matte look can be achieved with the Alcone at Home foundation that best suits you, along with the AAH foundation brush. Use downward strokes to achieve this finish with good coverage. 

Bold yet wearable eyebrows are simple. Opt for a color about 2 shades lighter than your hair color. For myself I'd choose AAH eyeshadow # 8 . With the Alcone slanted liner brush start at the arch and apply short strokes of color building as you go. Once you've tackle the end move your strokes gradually from the middle of the brow to the beginning in the direction of the tail....got it?!? Trust me its simple. 

Now those gorgeous lips!!! To achieve that perfect deep berry opt for the Alcone  Girls Night Out palette. Apply #6  all over lips as your base. Mix #'s 4  & 5  to achieve your perfect deep berry. Last line the outer portion of your lips in #5 only and blend towards the center.

 

 



Now toss that hair up into a half crowned messy braid and let the street be your runway ~_^ 

Until next time,

Kisses

Get The Look: Desigual @ MBFW ft. Alcone At Home

Hey there poptarts 

                            The title says it all but of course I ramble ;) Today the colourful creations of Desigual graced the runway at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and I had the pleasure of viewing the fashion explosion live! 

First lets talk runway. Models were of course at that level of goddess beautiful and they werked the catwalk. Desigual is known for their colorful, fun loving clothes and today's show was no disappointment in those departments. Colors, patterns, prints...simply everything spring! 

Backstage and on the catwalk Desigual screams "WE KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN"

Now on to what you really want to know, MAKEUP!!!! Simple, dewey and fresh faced. Monochromatic soft eyes in peaches and rose. The cheeks followed suit but gave each model that flushed/freshly pinched appeal. For the lips, the models sported a bit more color but stayed true to the tones. They had a slight matte effect but not overly done. In other words you can rip this look straight from the catwalk to the street. It's that wearer friendly. 

Here's a look at one of the Desigual models backstage. 

Acheive this flawless look with some of my favs from Alcone At Home. 

Face- mix Embryolisee Lait Creme Concentre with the AAH foundation shade that best suits you

Eye- reach for blush #3 (yes blush) and sweep across your lids. It'll give the perfect rosey/peach combo but not over power the eye. And it flatters EVERY skintone. 

Cheeks- dab your angled AAH blush brush into both blushers #1 & #4 and sweep the apples of your cheeks.

Lips- mix lip shades #7 & #8 or #6 & #7 (both look great) and apply to lips. Dab a few touches of lipgloss colors Peace or Grace to the bottom lip and blend out.

You're now officially catwalk ready!
