Shu Uemura’s fall line is said to be:

“Gold and volcanic tones mix with tribal paintings in yellow, fuschia and turquoise on a beige base.” Shu Uemura’s line consists of contrasting multi-colors generating from the “paintings and stones used in tribal rituals.” 

Sounds good to me! I’d better freshen up on my makeup techniques…

I was feeling a little SEX AND THE CITY: with Fashion Week wrapped up in NYC. So today I re-picked up one of my “keeper” magazine, the June 2008 issue of Vogue with Sarah Jessica Parker on the cover and a spread featuring her and Chris Noth.

GALLERY: SJP and Chris Noth for Vogue

SJP’s makeup was flawless, the locations were beautiful, as were her designer dresses; some of my favorites; the Nina Ricci emerald green silk-satin dress, the Versace chiffon dress and the Chanel boucle’ suit, the Lanvin hat and Philip Crangi for Vera Wang cuff bracelet were all so lavish and girlie regal…and how can I forget about those Christian Louboutin pumps!

In the movie, she wore two amazing wedding dresses that was such a WOW factor for me. The elegant Vera Wang wedding dress and the Dior Haute Couture jacket and skirt were just breath taking.

So for all of you SJP/Carrie fans, I have a treat for you. Below you will find a video of behind the scene footage from the VOGUE Magazine shoot as well as a makeup list that Makeup Artist Judy Chin used on SJP for the movie.

Definitely my new addiction. Viktor & Rolf’s collaboration with the beauty experts at Shu Uemura has resulted in some of the most coveted lashes we’ve seen in sometime.

Of course they come with a $95 price tag, but can you really put a price on looking like a fucking doll faced beauty?!? Didn’t think so.  So before New Years or Halloween gets here pick them up.

You’ll thank us later.

You can grab these here.

Applying False Eyelashes
1. Apply Lash Repair, $22 on lashes. When it dries, use Eyelash Curler, $18 and Mascara Basic, $27.50 for a natural look.
2. Using the Slant Tweezers, $32.00, pick the base of the lashes up gently along the edge.
3. Make sure that the lashes are flexible enough to fit the shape of the eyes. Using fingertips, bend the false eyelashes into a U shape.
4. Be sure to test the length and desired position of false lashes before gluing them on to make sure the width matches the width of your eye. Trim the outer edge with scissors if the lashes are too long.
5. Place a drop of Eyelash Adhesive, $8.50 on the back of your hand. Then dip a cotton swab into the adhesive base and transfer it carefully to the base of the lashes.
6. Apply the false lashes close to the eye base and lay them along the lash line starting from the center, then the inner corner, and to the outer corner.
