Makeup artist Irene Delgado created this look for the holiday shoot. Here are her steps to creating this face.

Step 1. Irene used MAC “Matte” to prime and absorb an oil on our models skin. Step 2. Irene used Cover FX “Matte powder foundation” #E60 to any imperfections on the skin. ( under eyes, around mouth, on chin etc. ) Step 3. Irene used Cover FX “Setting FX” setting powder in “Light”. This setting powder provides a water resistant barrier on the skin, so if  you’re sweating, the makeup won’t come off. You just have to pat the skin to keep it fresh. So dance the night away! Step 4. Irene used MAC “Desirous” blush on the apples of the cheeks. Step 5. Irene used MAC Paint Pot “Layin Low” all over the lid. Step 6. Irene used MAC “Carbon” eye shadow on the inner eyelid, all the way up to the inner brow line and out to the center of the eyelid in a “V” shape and at the outer corner under the eye. Blend heavily to make it look smoky. Step 7. Irene used MAC eye pencil “Smolder” , and rimmed the under eyes from inner to outer corners. Step 8. Irene used MAC eyebrow pencil “Stud” on the eyebrows, then she lightly brushed them with an eyebrow brush. Step 9. Irene used MAC lipstick “Glam” dabbing lightly on lips. No liner. Step 10. Irene used MAC pigment “Old Gold” on the bottom center of the lip to add dimension. Step 11. You look fabulous

This look can take you from party to party in great style. The look works because you have something very sparkly together with very not sparkly somethings. Sparkly together with sparkly is tricky and almost never should be done.

» VINTAGE SEQUINED BLOUSE IN MY BOUTIQUE

The skinny jeans with the oversized mens jacket is a very non-chalant touch giving the look cool. The look: Dark denim skinny jeans, vintage sequined blouse (here in my boutique), a mens dark blue suit jacket, skinny brown belt (here in my boutique) and a pair of Rachel Comey high heeled boots. This is not a hard look to duplicate with success. Many of you probably have some of the elements of this look in your wardrobe making it a cost effective look as well.

I was walking down Greene st in Soho last night and became enchanted by this window. The boutique is KIKI DE MONTPARNASSE a sexy little lingerie and adult toy salon. Oooh la la! This is their holiday window and I love it!

What you are seeing here is a Victorian hoop skirt over lingerie. The hoop skirt is wrapped in small blue christmas lights – So clever.  Here is a nod to whoever did this window.
