Kaiser Karl is in the house

As it is already fashion week season in New York, I thought I should follow the trend and do a little tribute to  the Kaiser Lagerfeld :)

“I don’t know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn’t know who she is.”

“Bling is over. Red carpetry covered with rhinestones is out. I call it the new modesty.”

“Chic is a kind of mayonnaise, either it tastes, or it doesn’t !”

“I have no human feelings”

On this Saturday, February 13th on sundance Channel ( channel 101 for Time Warner Cable NY) there is a serie of documentaries not be missed if you like fashion & its unique atmosphere:

It’s called The Day Before, and it is to summ it up a Jack Bauer drama (queen) clone of what happens 24h before a fashion show. begins , Tivo it ! and Karl documentary with Fendi starts at 6pm.

Here is a preview:

Make me up before you go-go

LOOK CREATED BY M.A.C ARTIST: KARIN STONELOOK CREATED BY M.A.C ARTIST: KARIN STONE

STEP BY STEP …

1. Start out on your clean face. Lightly buff a thin layer of Luna Cream Colour Base all over your skin with a #187 brush. Set it with Gesso eye shadow and a #116 brush — pressing the eye shadow in rather than buffing it.

2. Using Blacktrack Fluid Line and a #266 brush — paint in your eyeliner and brows — don’t be afraid to experiment with painting an expression on.

3. Sculpt your cheek bones with a bit of Concrete or Omega Eye Shadow and paint your lips a daring red.

4. Finally, find a chopstick or something in your house with a small round shape that you can use as a stamp. Scrape some Passionate Eye Shadow onto a small kitchen plate. Mix some Fix+ into the scraped shadow — make it not too watery and then dip your stamping tool into it and go to town with your dots.
