Just a few days ago I was watching this AMAZING video of Lela Rose talking about the hair and makeup at her spring show. (Fellow Ted Gibson fanatics - he's at 1 min 17 seconds in.) Now the makeup angels (and marketing geniuses) at Stila have developed this backstage-to-go kit recreating the looks from the Lela Rose SS09 show. See. Amazing!
Stila Backstage with Lela Rose and Beauty.com collection contains four key products used by every artist backstage at the very same Spring 2009 show. Stila Sun Shade 01 was used to bronze the models’ cheekbones. This bronzer is known for its amazing buildable color, which makes it a makeup artist favorite season after season. Cranberry Lip Glaze popped the models’ pouts. For the eyes, Starlight Eye Shadow let the lids shimmer with a champagne glow, and a coating of Major Lash Mascara in Brown helped to create a balanced, feminine face.
Subtle and very wearable, this modern look is sophisticated in its simplicity, a must in order to complement the vibrant kaleidoscope of colors with a funky tribal twist fashions that paraded down the Lela Rose runway.
One of my favorite things about the beauty industry is that when two women meet and work well together their partnership has no bounds and tends to benefit everyone around them. Tina Turnbow is the spokesperson for beauty.com and a world renowned celebrity makeup artist. Tina has been doing the make up for New York fashion and wedding gown designer Lela Rose and now they bring you this beautifully designed "best of" beauty kit. It is yours free with any $100 purchase at beauty.com. You can see a video of them working together at Fashion Week below.om
