Happy Halloween! A Last Minute Costume with Hair and Makeup!

There are two kinds of people when it comes to dressing up for Halloween. Those who plan their costume ahead of time, and those who wait until the last minute and then panic. I used to be the former. Now I am the latter. I don't know what happened. I tend to just lean on makeup to be my costume if I do anything at all. 

If you follow Opening Ceremony's blog, you probably saw their post called "Hairstyle File: Get Your Freak On With Bumble and Bumble." I got to work on this super fun shoot over at the Bumble and Bumble salon/studio/university/mecca/palace/wonderland here in NYC and add some complimenting makeup looks to hairstylist Misha Golebiewski awesome your-hair-can-be-your-costume styles. Last minute costume? No problem. Opening Ceremony and Bumble and Bumble have you covered. The Bride of Frankenstein look is calling my name. Head to their blog to see all the juicy details and how to create these looks yourself.

My Work Up On TeenVogue.com!

On a lovely Spring afternoon in the West Village, I spent some time with Geminola boutique doing makeup for their shoot. Some of the photos are up on the Geminola site, but recently Teen Vogue also featured a video from the afternoon!  I was delighted to work with actress Lola Kirke again, as we spent lots of time together on the set of a film last fall. It was also great working with Jemima Kirke (who you might recognize from HBO's Girls), Domino Kirke (who performed the song you hear during the video), and model Jazzy De Lisser. The girls wanted really fresh, natural makeup & hair so that's exactly what we did!  The stand-out pop of color is on the lips in the form of NARS Satin Lip Pencils. Lola & Jazzy are both wearing Majella, Jemima is wearing Palais Royal, and Domino is wearing Rikugien. Enjoy the video, and head over to Teen Vogue website to read the little snippet. Just wish my name was in there! :)
