LISAP FASHION PARTY

For the launching of LISAP SPLASHER a new range made of six multifunctional colours, LISAP organized a special event called SPLASHER FASHION PARTY near Riccione in Italy.
One of the hairdressers team partecipating was TAKTIK HAIR,
lead by my dear friend Ernesto Montenovo.
The show was a big success, everybody was amazed by the creativity with the presentations and the "moroccan theme". The cut and colours collections was also very popular, which brought to the audience new ideas and inspiration.

ROZA FASHION SHOW

One of the amazing "side effects" of my job is the fact that it allows me to travel all the time, meeting new people, seeing new places..(even though sometimes you only end up seeing new hotels)
So after finishing fashion week in Milan I'm alreday booked in London for another fashion show. This time though I'm the lead make up artist and I will run it.
Fun Fun Fun!!
It's for a russian couture label called ROZA, fabolous!
After meeting the designer we discussed the look she wanted for the make up. The collection had an inspiration from the 30's, the dresses were beautiful and elegant with a modern twist. So the girls on the catwalk needed to be as beautiful
and modern with a retro feel at the same time.
So..I went for the eyebrows. The skin was flawless, dewy, young with a touch of rose blusher on the cheeks and highlighter on the cheekbones. The eyes were kept quite natural, just a hint of smokey look and a couple of individual lashes in the corner. The eyebrow were the focus, still quite natural but well marked and the shape a la 30's was the key. On the lips a stain of raspberry lipstick to finish the look.
To complement the look the hair was tied on the back and on the front gorgeous soft waves were framing the face.
