Playing in MAC's "Playland"

 

 

From pink champagne to cotton candy and stilt-walking giraffes, MAC Cosmetics created the ultimate "Playland" event at its Robertson Blvd. store. Last week I was invited to attend this incredibly fun event celebrating MAC's Spring makeup line. And yes, I got my makeup did. The MAC Pro store was jam packed with customers, bloggers and professional makeup artists including the ultra-talented Gregory Arlt. In fact, it was so packed it was difficult to explore the store, but I managed to get several photos, enjoy some of the sugar-coated treats and have fun playing with the colorful makeup line. Not one to use a lot of color for my personal makeup, it was the perfect opportunity to experiment and have a MAC Pro artist create my very own Spring-time look. I especially loved the "Hi-Def Cyan" eyeliner and "Happy-Go-Lucky" lipstick. So, colorful and fun! What do you think?

Native American

 

 

 

 

Native American style takes an avant garde turn in this portraiture inspired shoot featured exclusively on VeryVeryChic. Here is a look at what happens when four artists decide to collabrate. Hair stylist Troy Peppin and makeup artist Cory Bauer conceptualized the shoot and created feather hair pieces and makeup based on Native American tribal looks. Originally we planned to focus on accessories for the styling, but I found some incredible clothing that transformed the shoot into Native American couture complete with jewelry, feathers and plenty of fringe. The shoot came together when Ben Cope captured our model Nina with a subtly somber mood to reflect the look of authentic Native American portraiture.  I hope you enjoy the result!! Scroll down for the full shoot.

METALLIC

Shine it. Sometimes all you need to update your look is a little sparkle.

This Fall, metallics are adding a serious shine to beauty essentials. Case in point, Chanel's "Illusion d'Ombre" collection. Lipgloss, eyeshadow and nail polish in a softly hued quartz as well as limited-edition graphite and peridot - tres chic!!
