Rad Hourani: Backstage Beauty NYFW Fall 2009

Key Artist Hung Vanngo designed the look for Rad Hourani Fall 2009

 

 

Hung Vanngo, Key Artist for the Rad Hourani show at New York Fashion Week Fall 2009, chose a look that almost seemed transparent yet visibly defined. I was part of Vanngo’s team of artists and translated his designed look on two models (see below).

 

 

Key Products Used:

– M.A.C. Moisturelush Cream and M.A.C. Moisturelush Eye Cream:  Applied liberally to the entire face and neck and eye cream was used to hydrate the eye area. More time was spent performing skin care vs. actual makeup application. The skin had to be ultra-hydrated in order to achieve the look created by Vanngo.

– M.A.C. Face and Body Foundation: Applied with the fingertips to the entire face, brushed over lips, and even the ears so the face virtually flowed into infinity.

– M.A.C. Pro Longlash in Barelash was used to block out the eye brows and blend with the rest of the face.

– M.A.C. Fix+: Vanngo lightly sprayed each model before they stepped out on to the runway.

Alexandre Herchcovitch: Fall 2009 Backstage Beauty

The look was clean and simple– not your typical fall look. Philippe Chansel, Key Artist for Alexandre Herchcovitch, created a look that made a subtle impact. I had the opportunity to be a part of Philippe’s makeup team backstage at Herchcovitch for the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 show. The picture of my model and my interpretation of Mr. Chansel’s creation (see below) was taken backstage by Beauty Editor, Lianne Farbes. Check out her backstage interview with Philippe Chansel!

Winner: 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

 

2009 Bride's Choice Awards presented by WeddingWire | Wedding Cakes, Wedding Venues, Wedding Photographers & More

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that my business, Victoria Stiles Makeup, has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™! 

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means that my business is one of the very best for wedding makeup in Washington, DC!

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.

Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s CEO said, “We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community.  This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.” 

I would like to take  a moment to thank my past brides for speaking on my behalf and helping me win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

 




New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 is Almost Here!

I’m looking forward to the upcoming Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week event which starts this Friday, February 13, 2009 in NYC! I am confirmed to do makeup for two shows so far and I will be reporting the latest in beauty and trends straight from backstage! Find the latest on Fall 2009 on this blog, Makeup Artist: Backstage with Victoria Stiles, and Beyond Beauty Basics.

Cheers!

This was a shot taken during a shoot for an editorial. Unfortunately this beautiful photograph, taken with expired polaroid film, did not fit the story and was not included. I just thought it was too captivating to leave out of my portfolio entirely. So here it is!
