Obsession: Dior Bronze Sun Powder Spray

I paid a visit to my local beauty counter today in search of a bronzer that could keep my fleeting tan from fading.

The lovely girl who helped me — made even more lovely with her French accent — took me through the usual suspects, like BeneFit and Make Up For Ever, before introducing me to Dior’s Bronze Sun Powder Spray. She pulled the can off its display, sprayed the product onto a bronzing brush and swept it onto the inside of my wrist to test out the color.

Ladies In Red

Proenza Schouler went from safari last spring to 80s power woman this coming Spring ‘09, going a tough gal route in big shoulders and high-waisted pants.

The thing about this power woman is that she wasn’t androgynous; she was still sexy, feminine and vampy as ever, and this feeling was probably a result of the red lips models sported down the runway of Jack and Lazaro. I’m really noticing that for Spring ‘09 most designers and makeup artists are agreeing that the thing to do is highlight one part of the face, whether it be eyes or lips, while keeping everything else clean and minimal.

Cat Magic Woman

New York Fashion Week is now into Day Four and, thankfully, no longer under siege from Hurricane Hanna, who was pelting out raindrops of destruction on Dior and YSL heels at Bryant Park this past weekend.

While it rained cats and dogs outside, smoky gothic black cat eyes reigned big on a few major runways, namely Abaete, Yigal Azrouel and Diane von Furstenberg. Makeup artists, like Jeanine Lobell backstage at the Yigal presentation, kept the rest of the face minimal and zeroed aesethetic focus on the eyes.

In The Pink

Abigail Lorick, whose designs are the actual ones behind Gossip Girl’s Eleanor Waldorf, had one of the most anticipated New York Fashion Week showings.

Her presentation eschewed the crush of Bryant Park tent attendees and was instead held at a more intimate venue disguised as a cake party. With lemon cocktails. It was all very Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, minus the tight corsets, towering wigs and Jason Schwartzmann. The Lorick models wore extremely doll-like makeup — think lots of blue eyeshadow and bright pink, matte lipstick.

Black Is The New Black

Lip gloss colors change with every season, just as palettes do with every new haute couture, ready-to-wear and resort collection presented at a Fashion Week.

Black is always a must for apparel — and apparently it’s now in for lip gloss, too.

The Color Purple

I predict brown or green-eyed ladies will go beserk for this new mascara hue — apply it as a full color for fun or apply it over regular mascara just at the eyelash tips for an eye-brightening effect.
