Get the Look: bareMinerals and Letitia Wright 2018 Emmy Awards

Celebrity Makeup Artist Tasha Brown worked with bareMinerals Power of Good Ambassador, actress Letitia Wright for the 2018 Emmy Awards – below is a breakdown of the look!

Who: Letitia Wright at the 2018 Emmy Awards 
The Look:
Inspiration: Letitia’s gorgeous gown featured great shine and texture which immediately inspired Celebrity Makeup Artist Tasha Brown to give Letitia peachy and bronze tones to keep her looking ethereal to match her dress. Tasha added soft, arched brows and golden eyeshadow with a natural skin finish added glowing shimmery highlights on the cheekbones and eyelids.
How to Get the Look:
Skin
Tasha prepped Letitia’s skin by saturating her cleansed face with bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Defense to create a smooth moisturized canvas for makeup. She then applied bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation with SPF 15 in shade Golden Dark with the bareMinerals Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush in a tapping motion through the center of Letitia’s face for light coverage, creating an even base for the rest of her makeup.
Cheeks
Tasha used a sheer layer of bareMinerals BarePRO Glow Highlighter in Fierce to highlight the tops of Letitia’s cheekbones, a center of nose and chin for a bit of glow and dimension. To add a healthy flush of color, Tasha lightly dusted bareMinerals’ Gen Nude Powder Blush in That Peach Tho along the hairline, on temples and on cheeks with a large fluffy brush.
Eyes
Tasha applied the deep bronze tones of the bareMinerals Gen Nude Eyeshadow Palette in Neutral all over the eyelid to better complement the color of Leticia’s gown.
Lips
Tasha finished off the lips without a liner for a softer edge to the lips and applied bareMinerals Gen Nude Lip Lacquer Buttercream Lipgloss in Flirt for a soft nude peach with a sheen to match the sheen of the gown.

#NYFW Style Fashion Week: FUNARI New York Collection

#NYFW OZLANA SS19 Runway Collection: Romantic Street Couture

Australian brand Ozlana presented their much-anticipated new collection DREAM STILL____ at New York Fashion Week. An edgy yet romantic take on street couture, the new collection highlighted their experimental textiles, quality fabrics, and sustainable artisan techniques.

The mood at the runway was serene, with a naturalistic set design featuring dried wildflowers and pampas grass, soft fur overlays, and lightweight cloud props hanging from the air, illuminated in soft hues. The sound of chirping birds and projected moving scenes of waves and stars created an immersive experience, as if within nature, in the heart of midtown New York.

DREAM STILL____ translates a tale of nostalgia as a woman builds her life in the city, recalling her beautiful countryside youth, and lapsing into a sweet recollection of what has been. Presenting an All Seasons collection, and subverting the traditional fashion calendar, OZLANA brings a new moment to their audience, combining highly wearable, practical fashion with an idealistic, dreamy mood.

Style Fashion Week Brings Los Angeles’ Top Influencer Designers to the New York Runway

Seated front row was Ming Lee Simmons, Julz (YesJulz) Goddard, WolfTyla, Diggy Simmons and Sihoban Bell were among others were seated front row. Models, styled by Davines strutted down the runway. VIP’s and socialite guests viewed sipped Tipsy Girl Wines and lounged in VIP boxes, where the decor was provided by renowned furniture designer Jimmy DeLaurentis.

 

These young brands and designers, often the inspiration behind luxury giants, rarely make their way to the New York runway—operating under tight margins without corporate budgets to produce major runway shows.

 

Style Fashion Week helps to share the cost of these major productions—providing designers the platform to display their work on the same level as their luxury competitors. Style Fashion Week recognizes that these designers are a vital piece of the fashion community and will continue to work to support them.
