Metropolitan West, West 46th Street, NYC
A new venue-was a totally suitable and spacious two level locale for the Style 360 Lounge---that hosts a bunch of products and sponsors several fashion designers- every 6 months during NY Fashion week.

MEHRON Makeup ably translated its potent professionally geared (theater, movie, special effects)- makeup---for the consumer market---and was the go-to brand for three fashion events that we attended: FTL Moda (bridal gowns by Jamie Elyse included), Want My Look (by Lilly Ghalichi of reality tv show Shahs of Sunset), and the Elle Runway Collection by Kohls.
FTL MODA (Made in Italy)…went for a a strong lip-eye…with fresh flushed cheeks for a striking look that balanced a made up look with natural glowing skin.
 |
| BOLD LIPS-L.I.P. Color Creme in Valentine ($7.95), Cheeks got a natural color via L.I. P. Color Creme Palette ($43.95) to create a peachy dewey cheek |
 |
| E.Y.E. Powder in Natural Wheat with Coco and Fawn in the Crease and Espresso in the corner crease and as drop shadow. |
 |
| for an 'everyday look" this brown tinged smokey eye---and clear pinky lip gloss great way to have all day glam…without too much maintenance that a red lip would require, imo... a 'face' that is right whether casual or fancier evening outs... |
 |
| EYES: E.Y.E. Powder in Natural Wheat with Coco and Fawn in the Crease and Espresso in the corner crease and as drop shadow. |
 |
| False eyelashes---up top added drama |
 |
| warm and cool tones -all get a perfect match…mix with moisturizer for less coverage… apply with sponge for build able coverage |
 |
FACE: Celebre Pro HD Make-up and Celebre Pro HD Loose Mineral Finishing Powder for a matte look with a flattering light reflecting finish---not a mask.
 |
 |
| serious brush holder... |
 |
| glued on---but re-usable |
 |
| STATIC NAILS almond shaped…youthful and lengthening-very flattering |
 |
| fun nails... |
 |
| ALCONE supplied the over makeup staples-Embryolisse® |
 |
| Jao Hand Refresher-germs be gone |
WHAT ELSE: NOT YOUR MOTHER'S HAIRCARE (name kinda like the jeans)...
for this show----the hair was up as a bridal hairpiece was perched on top.
 |
| hair blow dry smooth- loose curls via a barrel -then pinned into a back twist-with a side part opposite the side the hairpiece went |
 |
| hair piece----right off center ---required a lot of bobby pins for secure hold |
 |
| BACKSTAGE STAPLE-a sewing machine and someone who knows how to use it |
Between shows -we got the scoop on Mehron…and its best-selling color palettes-offered in rich highly pigmented shades----and long lasting.
 |
| Stephanie F. Koutikas-Marketing Director-MEHRON…shows the options |

WANT MY LOOK
Exotic Mediterranean look-strong eyes/brows with glossy lips---this is a look that is very wearable off the runway too.

ELLE RUNWAY COLLECTION BY KOHL'S ---was a great collection-we don't have a that store in Manhattan---but what we saw was worth seeking out….
Strong red lip 'anchored a cats-eye classic makeup look.
 |
| LIPS: L.I.P. Color Cream in Valentine with Glosstone for shine ($7.95 each) |
 |
| EYES: E.Y.E. Powder in Natural Wheat in the crease-black liner---cat's eye upper lid-flick up the outer edge |
 |
| brows-groomed-with pencil adding some color |

 |
| the makeup look with and without the red lip color and powder applied…they look great whatever-that is why they are models! |
