New York Fashion Week is just around the corner, and to give my own opinion/reaction on what’s latest in the runway, I’m going to show you hair and make-up tutorials inspired from one of my favorite designers, Rebecca Minkoff.

Rebecca’s SS 13 collection stays true to her brand, playful and subtly edgy. Known for her theme as “downtown romantic”. Rebecca plays with colors, textures and prints like florals which is a trend that is not going away anytime soon. Rebecca calls her looks, feminine meets tomboy channeling glamorous yet relaxed style of  Slim Aarons’ poolside photography of the 60s and 70s. 

Here’s some of the looks from her gorgeous collection:

I love the combination of sheer and floral print on this jumpsuit. Looks very sweet and playful. You can wear it to the beach (outdoors) or a fun date at a restaurant (indoors).

Now here’s one of the most beloved pieces in her collection. This jacket is definitely original and lovable! You can look bad-ass and sweet at the same time with this combination.

Now this look is my favorite. I’ve always loved caped styled coats or jackets. And I’m beginning to see a new trend here “ombre prints”? A definite YES!

So now, her designs are not the only one well thought of for this fashion show, I certainly love the hair and the make-up used to tie up the looks. Take a closer look at these photos:

This is one of the famous look for runway, bedhead hair, undone, sophisticated curls. But with a twist, straight ends! I’ve never seen this done before but its a must try for me.

Now the make-up. The main highlight of the make-up is the two-toned eyelids of green and brown, and the beach babe look that never goes out of style, long and full lashes, amber cheeks, thick filled eyebrows and very natural almost nude lips.

Want to try this look? I can give you some ideas with my tutorial. (P.S. I’m not a professional and this is my FIRST tutorial)

Let’s start with the hair:

1. To start, part hair in the middle or slightly to the side.

2. Divide the hair into two parts for easy curling.

3. Start curling from the bottom, pinning the thick part leaving a thin portion for you to work on.

4. Curl hair outwards, make sure to leave the ends out! Do not curl the ends. Continue until you finish one side of the hair

5. One’s the other side is done, repeat steps 3 to 4 on the other side of the hair.

6. This is what it looks like from the sides. Apply hairspray, rake through hair with fingertips from roots to ends.

This look works for medium length to long hair ladies. For curly lads there like me, straighten your hair first by blow drying then curl.

To complete the look, I will also show you how to do the make-up:

1. Clean your face, apply moisturizer/primer then apply your liquid foundation. I skipped power foundation for a more natural look.

2. Fill in eyebrow shape with eyebrow liner or dark eye shadow. Tweeze unnecessary hair.

3. Apply primer on your upper lids and lower lash line. You can just use concealer if you don’t have any primer.

4. Apply brown/orange shade to your upper eyelids. Focus on your lids without going over your crease.

5. Apply the same color to your lower lash line.

6. Apply a green shade to the inner corner of the eye starting from the middle part of the eyelid. Creating a two-tone effect.

7. Line the upper lash line with a black liquid eyeliner. Make it as thin as possible. We’re only doing this to create fuller lashes.

8. Rim the inside of the upper lash line with a black pencil eyeliner.

9. Apply two coats of black mascara on the upper lashes.

10. Apply mascara on the lower lashes too! For fuller lashes you can always apply false upper and lower eyelashes.

11. Using your shadow blush, apply coral/orange shade blush only to the sides of the cheek to frame the face.

12. Apply nude or your favorite brown/orange-ish lipstick outline beyond the line of your lips for a fuller effect.
