NYFW: Sunset Eyes Backstage at Trina Turk F/W 2014
Trina Turk showed at “The Hub” for Mercedes-Benz fashion week at The Hudson hotel. In a backstage space that could fit twenty comfortably when you include models, hair, makeup artists and press there was easily double that all buzzing off the energy of what this Fall presentation would portray. Sarah Lucero, celebrity make-up artist
NYFW: The Beauty Look at Alon Livne Fall/Winter 2014 Collection
A perfect storm of glamour was stirring at Alon Livné for the showing of his Fall/Winter 2014 collection. With inspiration coming from the silent film “The Sheik” garments channeled an old world flair of the 1920’s while making sure no element of shine was left behind.
NYFW: A Beauty Like Nun Other – Backstage at Thom Browne Fall/Winter 2014
If there’s one thing we can count on from Thom Browne, it’s a lot of drama and originality and this show was no exception. The collection was a visual hymn of Victorian-inspired garments imparted with exaggerated proportions and more delicately concealed details than the walls of a confessional. Inspired by a darker, wicked woman of the church, the hair and make-up production backstage was much more than a sisterly act.
NYFW: Dipped in Gold – A Desert Gypsy Treasure Backstage at Mara Hoffman Fall/Winter 2014 Collection
Famed make-up artist Alice Lane for Maybelline lead the makeup team for the Mara Hoffman Fall/Winter 2014 show creating a look that captured the spirit of a nomadic desert nymph. The collection was comprised of rich, printed fabrics saturated with striking colors and even though the look called for heavy liner, these runway Romany were easy on the eyes.

Happy Valentine’s Day to us! Our Makeup Drive was a Success
You realize in life, you make time for the things that are important, even where there’s no time. Generally when it comes to New York Fashion Week there’s no getting ahold of me — literally it’s the 2 week span my friends and family know not to call or text because I’m completely unavailable. Well right before the designers hit the runway, I was forwarded an email from the non-profit, Family-to-Family, which was working on a special drive in honor of Valentine’s Day, collecting unused cosmetics to help distribute them to women in homeless shelters on the 14th.
