Teen Corner: Runway Beauty at Behnaz Serafpour

From feathers used for makeup to birdcage purses, fashion week is full of kooky designs that grab our attention. Although these trends may fly on the runways, they may be a tad bit difficult to land in your daily style. On the other hand, Behnaz Sarafpour Fall 2009 collection presented a look that can be effortlessly transferred to the streets.

The makeup inspired by the sculptor, Alexander Calder, was all about embracing natural beauty. The eyes were rimmed with dark smoldering eyeliner, but the rest of the face was all about natural beauty. The skin was evened out and the natural face structure was enhanced and chiseled. The MAC head makeup artist for the show, Gordon Espinet described the look, “This is very easy translatable because its all about embracing each face. That is why makeup should never have rules–one man’s food is another man’s poison!”

And the best part? Knowing this super easy look was straight from the runways!

The nails, done by Creative Nail Design, were a polished beige color. Meant to elongate your fingers, this was a very classy clean and polished look.

Shu Uemura Mixed Cleansing Oil Travel Kit

shu-uemura-cleansing-oils

I think Shu Uemura makes the best cleansing oils on the market. (They also make the best eye lash curler, but that’s another story.)

This set includes the Brightening, Fresh and A/O formulations and provides refreshing purification that thoroughly cleanses the skin while respecting its integral balance.

This kit is the perfect accessory for those who travel and is suitable for all skin types.

Tip: Apply oil to dry hands and massage onto dry face and neck. Dampen hands and emulsify oil by massaging a small amount of warm water on top of the oil. Rinse clean with warm water.

Shu Uemura Mixed Cleansing Oil Travel Kit is available at Nordstrom for $32.
