Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Estée Lauder & Derek Lam Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection

So I was really surprised to learn that Estee Lauder had never participated in Fashion Week!!?? But, I guess there's a first for everything, right! They sponsored the beauty look (makeup and nails) for Derek Lam's Fall 2010 Collection. Estee Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux

Celebrity manicurist Jin Soon Choi and her team polished the models' nails with a new color that was tested backstage!

Bold blue eyes, copper lips, matte skin, bare cheeks and neutral nails ruled the catwalk.

According to Pecheux, bold blue shadows on the eyes, shimmering copper lips and flawless, matte skin created with a light foundation- are an on-trend preview of what we'll see for Fall 2010. All runway looks are available here.

So what do you think?

Mischo Beauty Loves Kiehl's

My love affair with Kiehl's began when I was a student at Spelman. I used to take the marta out to Lenox Mall and somehow stumbled on a lipstick sold at a Kiehl's counter in Neiman Marcus. I fell in love with it and made it a staple. Not to date myself or anything, but this was back when I was rockin' Chanel's "Vamp" nail polish. Back then you could only buy Kiehl's from the actual store in New York City or Neiman Marcus. There was no website.

At any rate Kiehl's is the exclusive sponsor of Derek Lam's Fall 2008 show. They were introduced by his stylist, Kate Young, who is the fashion expert for Kiehl's. Everyone attending the show will receive a gift bag of the following products: Rice & Wheat Volumizing Shampoo, the Dermatologist Solutions Epidermal Re-Texturing Micro-dermabrasion, Centella Recovery Skin Salve, Centella Skin-Calming Facial Cleanser, Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate, and Lip Balm #1. Wow!
