playlist: A Fallen Work Of Art

(image via kararosenlund; edited by me)

here is october's playlist; i'd love to include the remix of Andrew Gold's Spooky Scary Skeletons, but i only heard it twice this month (once on october 1st and another as i'm typing now). I also missed my appropriate chance of listening to Little Comet's One Night In October, it completely slipped my mind. 

This playlist includes some new songs, mostly old ones. Each of these songs has either a sentence or tune that stuck to my mind for weeks. San Cisco released RUN and i'm speechless, amazing is an understatement; I've also been listening to Taylor Swift's Riptide cover, slower than my taste but the lyrics are too good to ignore. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the songs; I'll be going back to my Scandal marathon, Happy Helloween!

Tracklist: 

Kids- Two Door Cinema Club

Occupy Your Mind- Villagers

RUN- San Cisco

Fashion Week Spring 2015; Backstage

Sophie Theallet

"Manicurist Julie Kandelec designed what she calls a “negative space double French tip”: She brushed a thick arc of pinky-white polish across the top of the nail, then made a thinner arc across the tip using turquoise color."

Delpozo

"Bold coral negative-space half-moon manicures inspired by the rising spring sun; Kandalec started by applying the Essie First Base Base Coat to clean, filed nails. Next, she applied the Essie Tart Deco, a juicy coral hue, to the base of the nail, creating a semi-circle shape. Once the half-moon detail on each nail was complete, she finished the look with a coat of Essie’s Matte About You to remove any glossiness and seal the look"

Rodarte

"Tracylee, Sally Hansen’s nail ambassador, crafted a nail to look as if it were worn away in the ocean. First, she painted the whole nail in Dark Denim. Then, she took a cotton swab and created a reverse French by the cuticle with an ombré effect."

Fendi

" Makeup artist Peter Philips used lash glue to attach leather strips across the lids. “Karl came to me and said, ‘Peter, I like this color, can you make it into an eyeliner?’ So that’s what I did!” he explained of the cornflower blue that bordered a contrasting band of black cream. "

Dion Lee

"The inspiration was light reflectors that provide little flashes of light to catch the eye. Each model’s hands were painted with one coat of Base Coat to start. One vertical stripe was painted on the outside side of each nail with two coats of My Signature is DC, and the look was completed with Matte Top Coat."

Jeremy Scott

"All you have to do is wipe all the polish off your nail and then with one long stroke go across your nail in all different directions to get that coverage.  So yes natural nail is exposed but it’s like a natural nail bikini; we’re only showing a little skin but its not as cut outie as a graphic shape, its freeform and no two nails are the same."

Peter Som

“We decided to do a brushstroke of neon orange color swooped out under the eyes,” says makeup artist Yadim. “It’s super easy to do and it’s not supposed to be perfect.” Here’s the coolest part: He used lipstick—not eyeliner—to do it. "Use your finger or a brush to apply it,” he says. Because in case you didn’t notice, the rules already went out the window.

A Détacher

"The models had tiny stars of varying sizes affixed underneath their eyes—pretty much like the ones you probably stuck on your notebooks or bedroom walls as a kid." The look was created by Shiseido Japan.

I've had this post drafted for over a week now, mainly because it was really difficult picking a favourite look. I honestly did not expect the runway-beauty-looks to be this amazing (another reason why i won't survive in art school). Negative space nails were definitely new trend (to me) and then there was the "classic" pop of colours on the eyes; but what really blew me away, was A Détacher 's metallic stars. If i were to discover it three months back, i would have done it for prom (halloween is near btw*). It was as if the idea was pulled right out of a pop-culture-nerd, it reminds me of evening skies on a rooftop seat with piles of blankets and a classic chick flick?

This post features eight shows, five nail looks and three beauty looks. Recreating all these looks should be fairly easy, i'd recommend Stila's Periwinkle liner for Fendi's leather liner & Peter Som used Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lipstick in Vibrant Mandarin
