THE MAKEUP SHOW NY 2011: DAY 1: MAKEUP & FASHION

Hey Blossoms,

The Makeup Show is a pro-only event and sometimes amongst a see of people who do the same thing you do you can become hidden. I decided I would have lots of pops of color all over so that I wouldn't be to hard to find. It seems my signature style is the flower accessory in my hair. I decided to stick with that trend and wear a bright one. I chose an emerald green and believe it or not I created my outfit and makeup look around it!

I had soooo much fun mixing prints! Im sure I'll experiment with that more!

Here's what I came up with!

EXPRESS Black pinstripe blazer
FLORAL Zippered front corset
URBAN OUTFITTERS High Wasted Skinny Jean Regular Wash
STEVE MADDEN Crystal clear ballet flats
VINTAGE thrifted burgundy leather purse
MANDEE Emerald green hair flower accessory
MANDEE "old gold" and pastel pink charm choker necklace
GUCCI Watch
BAKERS "old gold" flower accessory with rhinestone center
RANDOM "old gold" with black engraving detail
RANDOM neon green flower earrings with white center

BLOSSOMING FACE OF THE DAY: GORGEOUS GREENS

Hey Blossoms,
I thought long and hard about what color is many times overlooked and under stated. There are quite a few colors in this category so I decided to chose one for now. That color is GREEN. 

This color is definitely one that's left collecting dust in the makeup kits and makeup draws, if owned at all, especially with many women of deeper skin tones. I've stated before and I'll state again ANY woman can wear ANY color, its all about picking the right shade to compliment your skin tone. This is how I wear green eyeshadow and I absolutely love it.
