Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Tarte for Beauty.com & Lela Rose Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection

The Tarte artistry team partnered with Beauty.com and celebrity makeup artist, Tina Turnbow to create the celestial-inspired look for Lela Rose's Fall 2010 runway show. The inspiration for the look is described as "nature's celestial landscapes- think of the nighttime sky and imagine a full moon peaking behind the clouds".

The overall look is described as "mysterious moonlit eyes, while the complexion and lips have a cloudy, hazy feel". The silvery/black smokey eye was created using the Lights, Camera, Lahses! mascara, smolderEYES, the Eye Couture Palette, and Lucy I'm Home & Blue Lagoon eyeshadows. All Tarte products used to create the look are available on Beauty.com.

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Darphin, Stila Cosmetics/Beauty.com & Lela Rose Spring 2010

The lead makeup artist for Lela Rose was Sarah Lucero for Stila/Beauty.com. She explained that the theme of the look was the beach- soft, natural and glowing. With the eyes being the focus, Sarah applied Convertible Color in Camelia, Duo Shadow in Cobalt and Major Major Mascara in Black.

Now I almost did a cartwheel when I learned that the skin had been prepped using skincare products by Darphin! You all know how much I LOVE skincare and am always encouraging you to step up your skincare regimen. Darphin offers you an assortment of products to address every skincare type/issue. I've recently become addicted to the Age-Defying Lip Balm because it's both hydrating and nourishing.

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Ted Gibson & Lela Rose Spring 2010

I have to admit that THE highlight of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for me was meeting THE Ted Gibson (pictured above)! You see he's been an inspiration to me since first reading about him in Suede Magazine back in 2004. Since then I've been following him and am in awe at the beauty empire he's created (two salons, beauty products, his role on "What Not To Wear", etc.).

He doesn't know it, but he had an impact on my deciding to go to cosmetology school in pursuit of my dreams! Ted was the creative lead for hair for Lela Rose and the look he created was a "textured, beachy chic ponytail" which looked soft and effortless. He used "Build It Blow Drying Agent" and "Beautiful Hold Hairspray" along with the Ted Gibson Professional Hair Dryer to create texture and body.

The final look was held secure with a ponytail holder, with hair wrapped around it and secured with bobby pins. To view the overall look for Lela Rose, click here.

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Deborah Lippmann & Lela Rose Spring 2010

I was given the most amazing opportunity to meet THE Deborah Lippmann, celebrity manicurist to the stars, backstage at the Lela Rose runway show and I'm still pinching myself! Deborah was the creative director for nails for the show and used "Fashion" from her Lippmann Collection on the models' fingers and toes. She told me that "Fashion" (pictured above left) is a "modern take on the sheer pink nail" and she felt that it complemented the collection perfectly.

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.
