Celebrating ARROJO’s 10th Anniversary With a Brand New ‘Do

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

It had been three months, one week and one day since my last haircut as I walked through the doors of Nick Arrojo‘s famous Tribeca salon last Friday, and my coif was in great need of a refresher. Lucky for me, I was invited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ARROJO salon with a conditioning treatment, cut, style and makeup application by the talented stylists on hand. My adventure will reach its zenith on September 7th when my final look is revealed to the world at ARROJO’s 10th anniversary party. But for now, here lies my return to Grace Slick bangs, smokey eyes and the journey from drab to fab.

Until now.  Pat McGrath, the Cosmetic Advisor of Dolce & Gabbana The Make Up has hit the colorless mark within their Italian Summertime collection.

The nude you need: Mandorla.

Rising and shining early on a Saturday morning can be a difficult task, unless you’re doing something incredibly fabulous. When I heard Pat McGrath, cosmetic visionary and Creative Advisor for Dolce&Gabbana The Make Up, was going to be at the Saks flagship to debut the brand’s new Italian Summertime Collection and Animalier Bronzer as a sunny start to the weekend, I jumped right out of bed. Over a gorgeous brunch, Pat demonstrated the products on two lovely models, talked about her vision for the iconic brand and shared her makeup tips with the room of wide-eyed editors.

Get The Perfect Nude Lips

Edited by Marissa Moshell, Student

I know you’ve all seen your favorite movie stars with that “natural beauty” look. One key to that is to stay away from the lipstick and definitely keep your paws off the bright colored, sticky gloss.
