New York Fashion Week Fall 2008 - Backstage Beauty with MAC at Carolina Herrera, Maladrino, Luca Luca, & Ports 1961

CAROLINA HERRERA | "Eclectic" is a way to describe the new fall aesthetic, but "texture" is also coming into play along with "color." At the show, Diane Kendal went for a big pop of color on the lips to get a "really dark stained mouth." She started with a brown base with a burgundy base layered on...

New York Fashion Week Fall 2008 - The Adventures of Temptalia in NYC

GREETINGS EVERYONE! I just got back, and I'm recovering in California after spending a couple of days in New York City for Fashion Week extraganza.  I did manage to write a few detailed posts while away, but I thought I would do a bit of a "recap" kind of post and just walk you through what I did...

New York Fashion Week Fall 2008 - Backstage with MAC at Herve Leger, DKNY, Preen, Tuleh, Johnathan Saunders

HERVE LEGER | "She's mean," is how Val Garland described the tough sexy woman who prances in Herve Leger bandage dresses.  "The Leger lady is severely sexy -- not obvious sexy."  She threw out the smoky cat eye and instead did a liquid sparkly gold eye with a very chalky pink matte lip...

New York Fashion Week Fall 2008 - Backstage with MAC at Sari Gueron, Ruffian, Alexandre Herchcovitch, Costello Tagliapietra

SARI GUERON | "Sari's clothes have a lot of volume this season," explained makeup artist Gucci Westman.  To counteract this, she opted for "Grey, smudgy, and slept in - very real girl" eyes with nude pink lips.  "She's the girl we all want to be," laughed Westman.  "She doesn't take hours to do...

New York Fashion Week Fall 2008 - Backstage with MAC at Jason Wu, Nicole Miller, and Baby Phat

JASON WU | In fall 2008, we saw the bright lip, while in spring 2008, it was all about cheeks and alshes.  For fall 2008, it is about the glitter eye.  At Jason Wu, we saw a very fifties/seventies-lady show of chiffons, florals, and A-line skirts with fur-trimmed sweaters.  Artist Romy Soleimani...

We were served several courses that came out appetizer-style/family-style, in the sense that you picked what you wanted from a main plate, as...
