From the runway to streetway

So we all can't be fashion models and strut the catwalk at New York Fashion Week [insert sigh here] however, we can make those outrageous and over the top fashion statements wearable in our everyday lives. Sidewalks are just as good as catwalks in my opinion. This year was a pleasant surprise for me during NYFW--why? The makeup seemed to be simple, romantic, and soft. Think rose blush, pink gloss, concealed lids with maybe a hint of shadow, and curled lashes sans mascara. Rather than mascara, we saw a lot of fake individual lashes, which in my opinion, widens eyes and leads to a fresh face.
The minimalist look is in, ladies. Find a good concealer, eyelash curler, lip stain/gloss, & blush and rock the natural.
Watching the Emmy's though, I see a lot of bright colors (i.e- Kim Kardashian's eye makeup, hello blue!) which I love. I think I'll stick to the tried and true beauty rule: bold eyes = minimal lip, bold lip= minimal eyes.

My recommendations:
Concealer: MAKE UP FOREVER- HD Concealer
Disclaimer: I have horrible under eye circles and lines.
This concealer is FABULOUS. It was just recently launched and I am in loooove. Good coverage, dries to powder form so no creasing, and convenient pen case.

Blush: NARS blush in Orgasm
We have all heard this name time and time again. Why you may ask? Because it actually works on everyone. A universally flattering blush, who would have thought. Pair it with a deeper shade (like deep throat by NARS) for a more intense color.

Lips: MAC lipstick in Cherish
The understated lip color, soft muted peachy-beige with a satin finish. Just make sure to exfoliate lips with a toothbrush or sugar before applying! Chapped lips are never in.

A pop of color is always fun, maybe eyeliner? Or nails?

Stay primped fashionistas!
