The Golden Hour – Fall’s Most Enticing Beauty Color

Gold-toned makeup is often saved for holidays and special occasions, but that means missing out on a color palette that is flattering on every skin tone, depending on the intensity and depth of the shade, and how much sparkle you aim to show. 

Choosing one golden product can keep the shine factor to a minimum and is like a little beauty treat that stays work appropriate.  Try gold eyeliner, or layer gold gloss over your lip color to add warmth and shimmer.

Wearing a gold highlighter adds a warm glow to cheekbones and eyebrow bones and can be applied over your other products and blended for depth and to reduce the sheen.

All products shown available at Sephora.com 

For full on drama that gleams in candlelight or catches the club lights go for a gold eye shadow and lip color – and add the highlighter for an extra dose of glam. Depending on the sparkle element of the products you choose, gold can become one of the most versatile colors in your palette.  It can be layered over other colors to warm them up or to make them more intense, or stand out on its own for wow factor.  Either way, no beauty kit is complete with this most flattering shade.

Victoria Beckham for Estee Lauder – Miami Collection for Fall 2017

Throwing a little love to all the folks in South Florida after Hurricane Irma!  Victoria Beckham has collaborated again with Estee Lauder, releasing her newest collections for Fall 2017, each inspired by a different city:  LA, London, NYC, Paris, and Miami. 

Despite being the quintessential beach town, Miami never quite turns down the glam-factor, and pretty much the only place you will find ladies without much makeup is at the beach, and even there you are bound to find women who gleam and glow more from their cosmetics than from the humidity.  Miami women are peacocks and wearing notice-me outfits requires way more than a bare face, day or night.

Victoria channeled the sunset hues, the sand and beach, and the azur shimmer of the ocean for this collection.  Regardless of how you choose to wear the collection, the shades are versatile and can be worn with a light touch on glowing skin, or built up for more impact.  A pale pink lip is a sexy step up from a predictable nude lip or shiny lip gloss and gives the look a high end, fashionable appeal. 

Miami is always in style, just make sure to amp up your beauty game next time your in town.  Season is just about to begin!

Model's Street Style - NY Fashion Week Castings

NY Fashion Week is fast approaching and the agencies have all their best models and hopeful new faces all ready to go.  Show packages are delivered and the top casting directors’ schedules are full.  The models are out in force, cramming in a dozen castings a day, all over the city and the boroughs, books in hand, trying to be one of the lucky models selected to walk in the premier runway shows in NYC. 

Some of my friends have lived this experience time and again, season after season, fashion capitol after fashion capitol.  The pace and the anticipation never changes, and despite the fact that the entire process belongs to the fashion industry, all eyes everywhere are on the models and their personal style. The casting “uniform” has barely changed in decades: skinny jeans, concert tees, tank tops, booties, black back packs (with high heels inside), leather jacket or hero jacket, sneakers, mini skirts, athletic wear, sunglasses, and a natural, makeup-free fresh face. 

Street style photographers are warming up on capturing these models as they race from casting to casting, showroom to showroom, all in preparation for fashion week when everyone’s style game is kicked up a notch – a major notch.  Show castings are a chance for the model to show off her personality and edge, and to prove to the casting directors and designers that they have the right look at the right time, and would rock it on their runway.  It’s a classic NYC cool look that just works, and no one does it better that these unicorns.  Good luck ladies!  We’ll be watching!
