BeautySweetSpot investigates the life of a top model during New York Fashion Week.
In the undying words of lead makeup artist and creator of the eponymous makeup line used backstage at the Walter show during New York Fashion Week, “Not to prime is a crime!” Of course, by “prime,” Napoleon Perdis was referring to the application of foundation primer underneath the models’ makeup to create a smooth palette and a soft glow to the face.
The focus of the show was a good girl/bad girl dichotomy: “The theme is masculine/feminine, militaristic, tough yet girly,” noted a visibly excited Perdis. To achieve this look, the styling team focused on creating clean complexions, eyes rimmed with black and shaded with blue, barely-there blush, and a strong but not overstated lip. This season, the boldly hued lip has been a key makeup trend across the board. When asked if he has any DIY tips for our readers at home, aside from his insistence on priming, Perdis pointed out, without hesitation, “Mascara first, always! This way, if you get the rest of your face dirty, you can clean up before you apply the rest of your makeup.”
New York Fashion Week is almost over and we have to bid adieu to Bryant Park and all the memories of fashion and beauty created here throughout the years. Tonight I had the pleasure to go backstage at Brian Reyes and witnessed beauty at it’s finest. Although it seemed packed it was what I would call a “controlled mess” everyone was scattered in a frenzy but knew what needed to get done to showcase Brian Reyes’s vision.
Pattie Yankee lead manicurist from Dashing Diva dished how Brian wanted a neutral color with a semi-gloss so that it won’t take away from the variety of colors from his collection. They just used one coat of 57th and 5th to keep it simple and to the point.
Martin Christopher created a consistent theme of low pony tails with a slight, not so defined, left side part. He reinvented the polished look by adding the edginess of the modern woman. The focus was to create that matte texture. With a quick blowout but doing so in a forward and then back direction to create volume from the root and bring it all back into a low pony tail and securing it with TRESemmé 24 hour body finishing spray.
Ladies, meet Nick, 24 and single from Berkeley Heights, NJ. He’s an Assistant Property Manager by day and apparently a huge flirt by night. He may just win Man of the Year right off the bat, read on and you’ll see why. Yes, I’m blushing!
What’s in your medicine cabinet?
Nothing! (I have a sister and she rules the bathroom). But if I could put my products in the cabinet I would have all the shit that’s randomly scattered around my room: Deodorant, Shaving Cream, Face Scrub, Floss, Toothpaste, Hair gel, Vitamins, etc… Just the basics. My favorite brands though would be: Old Spice Deodorant and Garnier “Surf Hair”.
What product can’t you live without and why?
Well considering every night before I leave I brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack; my favorite product would definitely be Jack Daniel’s (I mean come on, once I leave for the night, I ain’t coming back). But besides that, my other choices would be my deodorant, toothpaste, and body wash.
