R Treasures Boutique/ KCFW

Kansas City Fashion Week, happened a couple of weekends ago.  I was thrilled to be the head makeup artist and stylist for R Treasure's Boutique's fashion show. 
Roxanne Gary is the owner and head fashionista at the on-line boutique. She carries very fashion-forward accessories and handbags that are in trend.  I have worked closely with her on her photo shoots and fashion shows.  The wardrobe concept was color-blocking in bright, bold colors that really bring out the summer spirit.
The makeup concept for the show was "beach inspired".  Gold/bronze shadows with bright glossy lips in orange or pink.  I tried out these new glosses,  Revlon Colorburst. I was very impressed.  They were super shiny and stayed on well.  The colors are magnificent, I will definitely be purchasing more colors for my kit.   The glosses  that I used at the fashion show were a bright orange called Sparkle, I paired that on top of MAC's Morange to make it "pop" and Strawberry over MAC's Girl About Town for a crazy bright lip!  Loved it!!!

I assisted Roxanne on wardrobe styling for the runway as well! We pulled these great pieces from various shops and boutiques in Kansas City including The Garment District in the Power & Light district, F21, Express and Target. Yep, you can always rely on these stores for great pieces to coordinate with bright accessories. 
Here are some images from behind the scenes and on the runway.  Hope you enjoy!
