Think 18th Century France - regal, rebellious, and rich designs paired with a soft, feminine touch...the look for Abaete's Fall 2009 collection as created by Tina Turnbow with Tarte started with fresh skin. Caudalie's beauty elixir and lip conditioner hydrated skin prior to makeup application. The makeup was natural, no makeup-makeup. Tarte's ReCreate gave even color and coverage to the face. Brows were softened by wax from the toolbox brow kit and topped by provocateur mineral powder. Liquid Sunshine added a hint of shine on the lids, rejuvalash defined lashes, and Blushing Bride cheek stain, applied sparingly, added the slightest hint of color on lips and cheeks.
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.
