Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Milani Cosmetics & Cesar Galindo Spring 2010
Ashunta used Milani's Runway Eyes Fashion Shadow Kit 07 Ready to Wear (using one of the gold eye shawdow bars) and mixed it with Milani's Buzz Worthy Lip Gloss 02 Busy Bee to create the metallic gold lip.
Celebrity manicurist Melissa Bozant created the nail look by using Milani's 3D Holographic 509 HD (launching in February 2010) and 3D Holographic 3D 510 with additional highlights using 701 Art of Gold. What I love about both makeup and nails, is that Milani Cosmetics are available at just about any drugstore nationwide, so anyone can recreate the looks.

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: NARS & Marc Jacobs Spring 2010
The focus of the look was the eye. According to Francois Nars, the shape of the eyeliner was most important- it was meant to open the eyes, especially underneath. NARS' Black Moon Eyeliner Pencil was used to enhance the eye.
I loved the soft, muted lip! NARS' Pop Life Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, which is new for Holiday 2009, was used on both upper and lower lips, adding an extra layer to the top lip so that it appeared darker. To view the entire look along with the complete collection, click here.

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Tarte Cosmetics & Hayden-Harnett Spring 2010
Though the focus of the look was on the strong brow, I loved that the remainder of the look was kept natural-looking, with a hint of glow. The brow look was created using Tarte's emphasEYES for Brows High Definition Brow Pencil and The Toolbox Brow Know-How Eyebrow Kit.
The "hint of glow" that I absolutely loved, was created using Tarte's Mineral Powder Bronzer in Park Ave Princess and Natural Cheek Stain in Green Siren.

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Zoya Nail Polish & Toni Maticevski Spring 2010
The final nail look complemented the collection perfectly by giving it a tiny accent of beautiful, shimmery color. "Bekka" is described as a "multi-dimensional metallic lemon yellow-lime with a gilded sparkle finish".
Zoya's "Armor" was used as a top coat to provide a glossy, flawless finish. You may view the entire look for Toni Maticevski here.

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Deborah Lippmann & Lela Rose Spring 2010
Deborah used "Ridge Filler" (pictured above center) as the base coat to prevent streaking and "Addicted To Speed" for the top coat. She mentioned two tips that I had to share with you all:
- The "squoval" (square-oval) nail shape is out! Let it go, ladies! Request that your manicurist work with your natural nail shape.
- French pedicures are OUT for spring! Please retire them! Opt for soft, neutral colors for your pedicure. (Now that's the BEST nail news I've heard yet!)
Because I was in "beauty heaven" backstage and in awe of being able to speak with Deborah, I didn't snap pictures of the models' nails (so mad at myself as I type this!). But, you may view the entire Lela Rose Collection here.
- Do you have questions about nail shape? The answers are here!
- Have you seen Lippmann Collection's "Fade to Black"? Be sure to check out my photos.
