HUGO BOSS f/w 2o11: BERLIN

  

 Last week I had the pleasure of working on the HUGO BOSS f/w 2o11 collection as presented at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie. 

I was thrilled to see Heidi Mount whom I've known since she was 16 - long before she became a mama! We had a grand time catching up whilst smoking out her eyes and Ruby Wooing her lips. The resulting look was reminiscent of Helmut Newton's femmes. Apropos for the locale, ja?

 

The 3rd girl out, Jac, was pure delight to paint for this show. Her chillness is equal to Heidi's animated energy. Beautiful, unique girls. Love!

Emmanuelle Seigner is featured in the Dec 2o1o issue of Harper's BAZAAR. Film actress ("The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", "La Vie en Rose"), musician, and wife of the infamous Roman Polanski. 

I had the pleasure of curling her lashes - and amplifying those perfectly perfect cheekbones! - in a Paris studio.

Things I want you to see

I love these two images. I just happen to have done the makeup.

Just because we can and want

My photog friend Benjamin asked me to do Jack Smith-ish makeup on him for Halloween. Somehow we forgot to take a picture that night. So a week later we decided to do a do-over, just for fun. Benjamin set up some lights, and I spilled some glitter on his cheekbones one more time. Here's what we made. 

  

 These images were taken by yours truly.

Working 80 hours in 6 days looks like...

Last week I worked on a tv commercial for a Russian gift card - the "Megacard" - in which women are passed out in various public scenes having shopped til they dropped.  

I felt just like this girl when we wrapped at 8am on Day 5 after a 2nd all-nighter

This was a fun lipcolor moment & it was made possible by Sephora lip liner in Funky Fuchsia and Makeup Forever pink from their grease box. I filled in the lip completely with the pencil first, then brushed on a bit of the pink grease to intensify and to wet the lip a little.

Shout to amazing assistants! Thank You!

Paul + Joe s/s 2o11

One of the best things I could ask for is that a girl specifically request ME to do her makeup - especially on my last show of the last day of Paris fashion week. When everyone is traditionally sick and cranky, this is like a gift from heaven. 

Such was the case with Julia - this girl is a cool, no-BS chick from Oz whose candor delights. We had fun getting her done.
Pretty painless - hah! Get it? :)
