      Highlight Skin
      These days, it feels like every runway look involves a good amount of moisture, shimmer or shine. To achieve your own glowy complexion on the go, pick up a highlighter stick or pot of shimmer like RMS Beauty's popular Living Luminizer and apply to cheekbones and eyelids.
      • Living Luminizer, RMS Beauty, $38

        Groom Brows

        Nothing creates a great canvas for makeup like perfectly groomed brows - you'd never catch a makeup artist without a pair of tweezers for this reason. For your own quick touch-ups, try an essentials kit with gel and a highlighter crayon too.
        • Mini Brow Rescue Kit, Tweezerman, $25

        Even Skin Tone

        Before you delve into bronzer, BB cream or blush, mask blemishes, dark sports and discoloration with a corrective cream color palette. While makeup artists keep an entire spectrum of hues on hand, you can pick up a smaller set suited to your specfic coloration.
        • 5 Camouflage Cream Palette, Make Up For Ever, $38

        De-Puff Eyes

        There isn't enough time for makeup artists to perform intensive treatments for models in between shows but even the quickest steam, facial or mask can do wonders for the skin. Hydrate and reduce puffiness around the eyes during your own busy days with these portable eye treatment masks.
        • Revital-Eyes Eye Masks , EmerginC, $38


        Blend Makeup

        Do-it-all tools that blend makeup for a flawless finish are a must in any makeup kit. While makeup artists use everything from cotton buds to the tips of their fingers to achieve the perfect blend, many keep edge-free sponges on hand for a softer and more precise look.

         

         

        Personalize Your Space

        Many makeup artists have a totem or personal item that sets the mood backstage and makes the space feel like home (see: Tom Pecheux's Pascal). Whether you're traveling or not, we love the idea of making a small, stylish item - like this crystal votive - a staple in your beauty kit.

Madonna, daughter Lourdes partner on junior fashion line

Madonna, daughter Lourdes partner on junior fashion line Madonna is hoping to go from fashion icon to fashion mogul with her latest endeavor. The pop star and her 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon, are partnering on a junior fashion line called Material Girl, which will be sold exclusively at Macy's for back-to-school season, and although the clothes won't land in stores until Aug. 3, sketches were released Tuesday. The line is named after Madonna's 1984 hit song, and there are some similarities to the pop star's 1980s iteration — the (very) short skirt, the corset top, the layered jewelry. But the muse is Lourdes, or Lola as she is known, Madonna's daughter with trainer Carlos Leon. Material Girl will include apparel, footwear, jewelry and handbags, and items will range from $12 to $40. The first collection mixes hard and soft elements, "like a tutu dress and studded-combat boots, or an oversized boyfriend sweatshirt with a floral ...

Betsey Johnson Runway Show NYFW Fall 2010

Betsey Johnson Runway Show NYFW Fall 2010  Just out and hot off the runway is Betsey Johnson's Runway Show Fall 2010 Ready To Wear Collection..... NEW YORK , February 14, 2010 By Alison Baenen   Betsey returned to the runway and—to prove her performance skills hadn't dulled—made sure all the high-camp high jinks of old were in place. Kelly Osbourne, looking model thin, came out first, walking on a hay-strewn surface. She exuberantly tore off the bandanna covering her face, and…Yee-haw! We found ourselves in the Wild Wild West. Johnson's inspiration this season was, modestly, 45 years' worth of her own archives. "I'm working on my stuff, being very true-blue Betsey," she said. Her signature gun prints were there in spades, accessorized with candy-bright plastic pistols; there were striped bodysuits and tutus. The models sashayed along in groups with monikers like Banditos, Madames, and Brothelettes, usually with one among their number clad in a sweater...
