New York can be quite raw, grungy, and a bit dangerous- and that was exactly the inspiration behind Altuzarra’s Spring/Summer 2012 show. An androgynous, messy feminine aesthetic brought to life a cleaner version of so-called grunge, a trend that has resurfaced in a new, slightly polished way. Bold, dark eyebrows and straight “destroyed” hair create the deconstructed look. Yet, the cleanest part of the look was the nude nails, meant to look like a “second skin.” Artist Candice Manacchio of CND explained how any classic woman with a modern edge could rock these nails day to night. The first coat is a nude Putty layered with a second Super Matte Top Coat to avoid any and all shine. The look is real and functional in a dynamic way.
You may recall my review of the Great Lash Designer Limited Edition Mascara Collection a few weeks ago, or have seen them, in all of their glory, exclusively at Target. I’m thrilled to give FPD readers the opportunity to win ALL THREE of these gorgeous designer Great Lash mascaras, deigned by Tracy Reese, Vivienne Tam, and BCBG Max Azria!
