Front Row’s creator is Shateria Moragne-EL, who has been involved in fashion for most of her life. (elle.com) Elle.com describes Front Row as “an innovative luxe brand that represents front-of-the-line privilege. The clothing is meant for fashion lovers and leaders - the confident, the gracious and the faithful.” This is the perfect description of the collection. Every piece exuded confidence and luxury. Leather and fur were the big players in this line and it reminded me a bit of vintage glamour, I absolutely loved so many pieces.

Absolutely love this leather jacket with the fur collar, this deep red is definitively a must for next fall (or even right now!)
This little mini-dress was fabulous going down the catwalk

The makeup look, designed by James Vincent, emphasized on perfecting the skin and then creating a beautiful geometric design with liner on the eye. It was inspired by the red carpet and runways from this season. The berry lip was also present in the look (definitely a main player in this NYFW). Keeping the eyes and lips the main focus, kept the look classic and timeless.

To add a bit of color to the cheeks we added a dab of the OCC lip tar in black dahlia. We blended it on the apply and then to give it the natural flushed cheek look, we took our foundation brush and applied a bit of foundation over top. This is a tip I learned from James and use a lot! Love it!

The liner on the eye was created with the liner marker from Ardency Inn. I love using a marker type of line to create that perfect cat eye, for me it makes it a lot easier to make that straight line that extends out. Nars also has a great marker that is long-wear.

The awesome eyeliner we used for the look

This is definitely a look that I am going to try on myself! Let me know if you want me to do a tutorial on the look so you can try it out too!
What do you guys think of this look?

Tumbler & Tipsy Fall/Winter 2013 Collection NYFW

Tumbler & Tipsy Fall/ Winter 2013 Show
Metropolitan Pavilion
Key artist: Jon Hennessey

The amazing sponsor Conair...their hairstylists did a fabulous job on all of the shows! 


Tumbler & Tipsy's designer Michael Kuluva created a fun and beautiful collection for this up coming fall and winter. It was a collection filled with inspiration from Scottish tartans, tweed, preppy and a splash of urban punk. All of these components formed a very fun and spunky collection to view, especially with the upbeat music they played during the show.


The makeup was the perfect companion for the collection, which was entitled ‘I Crave You’. Jon Hennessey of the Makeup Show, assisted by the AOFM Pro team, decided to create a beautiful heart shape for the lip in a deep burgundy, seen on almost all of the collections for this season. The eye was an exaggerated smoked eye with very soft edges. There was not contour or cheek color, only a soft highlight dusted on top of the cheek bone. This made it so the look was not over-done and let the eyes and lips be the focal point.

I especially loved the finale of the show! All of the models toted red heart shaped balloons for the final walk, it definitely was an amazing end to this fabulous show!
