Why Moisturizer, Highlighter, and Clear Lip Gloss Are the Only Things You Need Next Season

” “I’m big into the skin prep,” Gucci Westman emphasized backstage at Rag & Bone this evening as she explained the foundation for the supernatural makeup she was creating for the brand’s polished spring 2015 show. That’s been a popular refrain this week in New York City—where lit-from-within complexions have been the near universal beauty story on the runways so far.

In Westman’s case, coaxing complexions into shape called for mini facials using Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse replenishment mask, followed by its Ceramidin Liquid or Cream, and NARS Optimal Brightening Concentrate—and that was before she started in on the “just-bitten” lips and glossy lids that gave the deliberately fresh-faced model corps a desired air of pure innocence.

Elsewhere, emollient creams, hydrating illuminator’s, and highlighting blushes were in heavy rotation—adding an appealing gleam to temples, cheekbones, and eyes. Francelle Daly achieved the “intimate, just woke up in a sun-filled loft” idea at 3.1 Phillip Lim this morning by layering shimmering shades of NARS peach and pink pigments on temples, cheekbones, and eyelids, while Charlotte Tilbury buffed MAC Studio Moisture Cream mixed with concealer into complexions and onto limbs at Donna Karan. To properly execute Thakoon Panichguls “girls just out of the water” directive, makeup artist Diane Kendal went as far as dabbing NARS Lip Gloss in Triple X on top of models’ lids and combing it through their brows. It may be the one product you truly need come spring.”  ~Celia Ellenberg for Vogue

Man Ray: The Fashion Photographer?

Man Ray‘s name has become synonymous with so many facets of art over the years that it’s tough to explain his life’s work in just a few sentences. Like the founder of JM Couture Jim Mullin, Man Ray was something of an entrepreneur and a cross-over artist.  He was a business man, film maker, painter, DaDa artist and fine-art photographer.  What many people maybe aren’t aware of is his astounding work in Fashion Photography.

Yes!  Man Ray actually worked as a fashion photographer for “Vogue”, “Charm”, “Vanity Fair” and “Harper’s BAZAAR”.  Man Ray stood the test of time and continues to inspire other artists down to this day.   (read all about it here.)

The following photos are taken from the book called ‘Man Ray in Fashion’ by John Esten, which was a catalog for the 1990 exhibit ‘MAN RAY/BAZAAR YEARS: A Fashion Retrospective’.  When you look at these images, you can marvel at the beauty he was able to create from such primitive equipment and lighting.
