Be Careful What You Wish For

(Super handsome Elliot Torres (poet), and Superstar Denise @ Calle 13 (click on their video) concert in Central Park, New York City.)

You wished for it and People En Español will publish it. Yes, so many people asked for the products I use on Denise Quiñones (Simone, Mariloler, Eunice, Jennifer Heslop, Giovanni, Anonymous, etc.)... and now Kika (Maria Rocha/Fashion and Beauty Director) and Miguel Sirgado (Beauty Editor) will open the beauty section of People En Español (October 2006) with a list of my favorite products for Denise, plus some of my makeup tips. "Echale un ojo" at that issue.

Furthermore, "brinca" to this page (click on the word 'page') and let me know how you like the before-and-after of Dayanara Torres. Yes, Karlo did the makeup, but I forgot to let Miguel Sirgado and Kika know, ooops! Sorry, from now on I promise I will send them press-releases on any celebrity I beauty-enhance.

Thanks Kika! Thanks Miguel! So lovely!

Dry Skin No More... Two Of My Favorite Products...

(Above: Artist Pepe Villegas) Last night following my usual 'espiritista' Thursday meetings - as I lovingly call my spiritual posse gatherings, The Waking Circle - with some amazing guys, in Chelsea ;-), the subject of dry skin came up. And, of course, I gave my best advice for the Fall/Winter season already making our skin drier and itchy. Organic Coconut Oil RIGHT AFTER TAKING A SHOWER/BATH, while your skin is still damp, smother it with some * organic coconut oil . The coconut oil will sink into your skin right away unlike anything with artificial petroleum based oils. You neither be putting on any parabens or weird ingredients that may be absorbed through your skin making you more toxic. For the first fifteen minutes after application your olfactory receptors will take you to some exotic Caribbean destination. Not a bad idea for a body lotion that works as aroma-visualizing-therapy in the dread of winter. It won't interfere with any other colonias or fragrance that...

Fashion Night Out...

Ruben Toledo, Isabel Toledo + Karlo. (Remember, 'click' on any photo to enlarge.) Fashion Night Out was a success! Although it went unpredicted it was lots of fun. We were supposed to map it like this: Barney's, Bergdorf, Louis Vuitton, and then see my friend Olivier at Longchamp. But the Universe intended us to do something else, just Barney's... surrounded by glory; Ken Greene & Douglas Muller of the Hudson Valley Seed Library , Valerie & Jean of 'Ideiosyncraticfashionistas ', Rod Keenan , millinery maste,r and Ruben & Isabel Toledo who graced us with their passion, style, and wonderful sketches. Side note: For the record, I think Isabel Toledo and Ruben are the hottest couples right now in the contemporary art world. Talent, passion, style, vision, 'cultura'... what else can you ask for? Woof! Ken Greene, Douglas Muller, Maria LaBoy & Karlo. Jean & Valerie from 'Idiosyncratic Fashionistas' Ruben Toledo, his ...

The Making of a Romantic at Carlos Campos.

Carlos Campos' collection for this Fall/Winter 2012-13 is inspired in the romantic. I'l keep you posted on his presentation this Sunday, February 12th at Milk studios (NYC), 3:00 PM. But for know here's a glimpse of the grooming process, makeup by moi, hair by hunk Ramirez. What does it take to turn someone into a romantic? How would you paint him? Sculpt him? I've always believed that if you want to know whether a makeup artist is good or not, give them the test of grooming. There's a certain sensibility, knowledge of color and undertones and finishing techniques that is required in order to make the makeup disappear. The fantastic hair master Cesar Ramirez will be collaborating with Carlos Campos this season, as always. Image by Luis Carle. It's about color 101 and being quite the observer of faces in their natural perfect state and painting them handsome, romantic. All products used by MAC Cosmetics. It shouldn't take mu...
