pro tips from NYC stila star dom briguglio...

two multi-taskers - sheer color tinted moisturizer & perfecting concealer - give you a glowing, flawless complexion:

"for the day apply the tinted moisturizer for sheer coverage, spf 15 and moisture then apply the perfecting concealer where needed.

for the night just squeeze a little tinted moisturizer on your hand then squeeze a dab of perfecting concealer into it. mix the two together and you now have a full coverage foundation to give you that polished look for a night out on the town. no need for a second foundation formula."

Busy day ahead…I have the makeup test for Julie Haus and then right after im heading over to meet the stila team for the Jenni Kayne show.

Julie wanted a really cool look for the models with a grunge twist. So I used a purple and cranberry shadow palette to get the smudged grunge makeup look. It was all about the eyes and i love how it turned out! I love getting to create looks for the shows because I always get to step out of my usual routine, I always collaborate with the designer and stylist to make sure it is on point….

Off to Jenni Kayne show now!

7pm call time for WALTER makeup test…Viv and I rush over with our kits and arrive at Walters studio…I was really excited to meet Walter because Dom just worked with him for the taxi cab Walter ad….it looked amazing! The look for Walter was really hot! All about shimmer on the cheekbones and eyes were smoky using espresso tones…so we came up with the most beautiful makeup look for his show. I used a new lip enamel called Nirvana to get the glossy nude lip…

All in all Tuesday was a great start for me in NYC…the madness has started!

Arrived in NYC….flew in and went straight to work! I met up with Viviana and we went straight over to Jenni Kayne’s studio to do the makeup test for her show. I love Jenni and her clothes are amazing…im a fan of her store in LA, so imagine the excitement I felt when I was asked to lead the makeup team and create the look for her spring 2010 collection! When I got to the test I met up with a beautiful model that I have worked with at many other shows in LA and NYC.

I got started on the look and it turned out so sultry and sexy! The skin was all about satin texture and a soft matte finish, the eyes were navy and VERY smoky. I used the Stila Sapphire smoky eye palette and went to town! I used it wet to create the effect of a little glossy sheen just in the center of the eye lids. I also used a new long wear matte lip color (available in spring) called “in the Nude”…it’s the most amazing texture and the shade leaves your lips nude…the perfect compliment to the sultry navy eye.

Jenni loved the makeup and we were all set to move on out to our next makeup test…WALTER…..
