Stila has some gorgeous new palettes that are a breath of fresh air this fall. All varying shades of earth tones in shimmers and mattes, you can't go wrong with any of these luscious combos!<br />

Heart, Soul and Spirit are the three new palettes I purchased this week. Eager to try the tones and textures, and inspired by this image of model Karlie Kloss that I'd torn from a November, "Best Looks" spread, I decided to play with some of the russet and beige-gold colors.<br />

After beginning with my newest investment, (more on that this week) in Shiseido's BB Cream Dark, I applied loose finishing powder and a drop of concealer above and below my lids to get the canvas primed. <br />

Step one was to swipe the tone "Affection" across my entire lid, from lash to crease. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next I added a soft, off-white, matte shadow in "Light" to blend out the crease tone, and buffed it with a large, blending brush. I ran a beigey-brown shadow under my lower lash line in "Thought" to create contour and depth. <br />

I blended and softened the lines, but kept the shadows a bit thicker than my normal routine. (A La Karlie). <br />

I also used a swipe of Stila's ubiquitous "Kitten" shadow, (a favorite highlighter for many artists) to lift directly under the brow for a slight sheen. <br />

Next I grabbed a mixture of the top left shadow, (Light) and mixed it with the middle lower shadow, (Heart) to create a blond, brow powder filler. Sometimes you can get the correct tone without resorting to an
additional brow palette, as long as the colors are matte and fairly
neutral or ash in tone.<br />

Happy Weekend everyone!<br />
<br />
I've been noticing that trends which were strong last year have reasserted themselves this fall. Thank goodness that a minor wardrobe re-fresh can always bring your clothes out of hiding. <br />

This H&H Conscious Collection, lace skirt was a purchase made several years ago, but each fall and each spring cotton lace seems to reemerge. I paired it with carnation pink wedges (my final goodbye to summery shoes before the real cold begins), a polka-dot chambray top, and of course, (my favorite staple) fringe!</div>

Fringe can "bad girl" up your outfit, or "boho" the heck out of it. (Black for biker, brown and beige for hippie chic). In this case, a little black fringe took the preppy out of this combo and gave it some edge. <br />

Happy All Hallows Eve Everyone!<br />
<br />
I'm so excited, as always, for Halloween. But the fact that it falls on a Friday this year makes it a special thrill! Every year I determine to come up with a great costume, and every year due to work and scheduling and production, I end up throwing something together at the last minute. In light of that fun fact and for those of you who find themselves in similar dilemnas, here's a look back at the last 5 years of costumes and how you can raid your closet and makeup drawer to look fabulous in 30 minutes or less!<br />

2008, (the year we all went "Mad" for Madman"). I went as a "mod". Here I want to give a thank-you shout out to the amazing Jenny Han of Jenny Han designs, who had given me this fantastic, 60's style dress, (which I still have). Not surprisingly, I shot her later campaign based on "Valley of the Dolls". To nail a "Mod", grab a dress that's mini in length, add lashes and take the time to paint on the bottom ones, "Twiggy Style. Add volume to your hair. Keep lips and cheeks pale and pink. The rule is go big on lashes, short on hems. <br />

The next year we were charged to thematically come as a favorite
super-villain. Since I didn't really have an anti hero to root for I
went as Harley Quin, and used a hat and face paint to nail a costume in
20 minutes. If you're dying on time, try anything you can paint on yourself. (Harlequins, clowns, etc). I nailed a Harlequin on a photo shoot and if you get the makeup right, you don't even need much by way of clothing. Simple black and white tones and garments will seal the deal. (See Below).<br />

The following year I really got my act together, did some prep, and went as Miss Havisham, complete with spiders, webs, and veil, (plus crinoline). We were to come as favorite, literary figures. I know when Dickens wrote Great Expectations he was picturing the joyful reunion of Miss H and a Star Wars Storm Trooper in 70's suiting. <br />

Thank goodness I like vintage! When it came time for another last minute costume in 2011, I grabbed a 70's romper, threw on a bolero, bought a quick hat (once again, hats can really seal the deal), added a whip and went as a lion tamer. (Yes, I'm PETA so it was more of a nod to Monty Python).<br />

(And of course in a pinch, there's always a wig). Another idea for an easy costume? Go as an Egyptian goddess or queen. I shot this not long after The Mummy came out, inspired by Anaksunamon's character makeup. You can buy a cheapie, black drugstore wig and cut bangs into it. I added some beads for flair, and then grabbed a white sheet, cut a hole in the top and poked my model's head through while twisting the sheet into shoulder straps. You can nail the dress by belting it with anything gold. Mix gold shimmer into your foundation and blend it all over the body. Last but not least, go big, bold, and long on the liner, top and bottom. Boom! You're an ancient, baddass.<br />

2012 really saw me in a pinch! I was shooting for two straight weeks, as well as on Halloween night itself. I had thirty minutes to throw something, (anything) together. Fortunately and once again, my love of holding on to vintage prevailed, and I went as Barbara Streisand circa Funny Girl. I just snagged the most retro items, (all 60's vintage) in my closet, added some deeply contoured shadows and lashes, and was out the door! (For a quick lesson on liner, sex pot eyes, and mod makeup, check out my tutorials <a href="http://sunsetand5th.blogspot.com/2012/11/cat-eyes-60s-era-tutorial.html">here </a>and <a href="http://sunsetand5th.blogspot.com/2012/11/sex-pot-eyes-tutorial.html">here</a>)!<br />

Tragically I'm pretty sure there was no costume last year as I ended up working last minute, but I did experience a "Haunted Hayride" at Griffith Park, as well as a "Ghost Train" ride. So all was not lost. This year, the theme is to arrive as "An adult version of your favorite childhood costume". Although I've been again thwarted by timing, I've got the basics ready to go. This time there's no escaping the costume!<br />
<br />
Happy Halloween to you all!<br />

I'm thrilled that it's almost the end of October for two reasons. First and foremost, Halloween is around the corner. (Yay)! But secondly a real fall means I can finally begin wearing nubby tweeds, long hems, loads of dark shadows and rich lip pigments. Goodbye summer sheers, babydoll dresses, and SPF tints. Hello creamy lips, smokey eyes, and woolen textiles!<br />

Starting with this fishtail, maxi skirt from Velvet! I love the almost bridal length with the trailing back hem. And since it's still warm by day, I juxtaposed it with lightweight, black lace. <br />

H<span style="font-size: small;">ello</span> Friends,<br />
<br />
I've been absent from this blog for nearly a month. I never intended to be, as I derive a great deal of enjoyment from sharing the day to day tidbits that come with working in my chosen field.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidm1DR9KzDb-esUr3ZxX3-rvvbCk5D_tlxk95oJrxMXCR_KlZCAlkzNVu6RfLdFAM-GVw_wlyhRicnDevVLLrfeU6S00MczOZ0Fk2ItXM3eK5_XHgd0RtGS9-Wiyi5nnmkm5LhouGs85U/s1600/DSC_1596.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidm1DR9KzDb-esUr3ZxX3-rvvbCk5D_tlxk95oJrxMXCR_KlZCAlkzNVu6RfLdFAM-GVw_wlyhRicnDevVLLrfeU6S00MczOZ0Fk2ItXM3eK5_XHgd0RtGS9-Wiyi5nnmkm5LhouGs85U/s1600/DSC_1596.JPG" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
I debated whether or not to share the reason for my absence from the blogging community. After all, once online, always online. Nor do I have the kind of presence in the great, big, blogosphere that leads me to believe anyone would pay attention if I didn't write about something connected with beauty or fashion for four weeks. But I began writing Sunsetand5th as a way of reconnecting other parts of my life outside of the day to day operations of being a working makeup artist in the film and TV world. Part of that exercise is in the sharing, and the honesty.<br />

So to be honest, after working myself into a frenzy of 80 hour work weeks and a runaway production schedule, I got sick. Really sick. And it changed the way in which I now believe I have to manage my life and my stress. So here I am. Walking through it as it were. Blogging a fashion tidbit on a bright, sunny, Sunday afternoon in Santa Monica while I ponder the commitment I made to try to write a little something weekly, because this blog has always been a fun, lighthearted sort of therapy for me. <br />

<br />
I've made a promise to myself to attempt a life that's healthy and balanced. I don't kid myself. There will always be stress and anxiety and profoundly difficult things to push through, but I'd like to think this little unexpected hiatus has been a wake up call. So I'm walking into this Monday with a new attitude, a new outlook, and a little fall layering to boot. <br />
<br />
Whatever you do, love it, thrive on it, and live it. (Just don't overdo it)...<br />

September has really revved up and I'm going into my third straight week of non-stop shooting. Given the nature of my hours I've gravitated towards cozy clothes all week.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm a little obsessed with my local, Heavenly Couture store around the corner. If you live in Cali you've probably seen them a time or two. Their motto? Nothing over $16! The store is a great place to grab trend items or little filler pieces, (like that perfect sweater to pair with that luxury pencil skirt you just bought at the department store. Or a trend you just want to test without spending much). Comfy and chic, these harem pants feature a dropped crotch that add some funk to my traditionally tailored blazer.<br />

Spike heels dress up basics easily. And a low kitten heel is still "workable" on set.<br />

What a fabulous day it is to come home and find a surprise package from the world's sexiest lingerie, Adore Me, waiting at my front door! <br />

Adore Me creates outstanding inner and underwear, and their sizes, cuts and fit are exceptional. But it's also a treat to "unbox" a new item, because everything is packaged with such thought, care and humor. Packaging alone makes opening an Adore Me purchase that much more enjoyable! I was so excited when I opened my box and found this gorgeous,<span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.adoreme.com/bras-and-panties/caprice.html"> Caprice</a> lace set displayed inside the cutest container, (which I subsequently kept for storing delicates).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
Which leads me to say that while I myself have never been a big, "oh hey, your bra is showing" kind of girl, the lace sets from Adore me are simply the prettiest lingerie in the most luscious colors. They feel like something you'd want to show off alongside your clothing. So I am! <br />

Happy Labor Day Everyone!<br />
<br />
I hope it's been a groovy, long weekend. For my part, It's been a chance to rest, reevaluate, and spend a little one-on-one time with the hubs. (Not that we won't be checking out a few Labor Day sales and testing out some possible furniture ideas)...<br />

Whether you're bound for the beach, prepping to BBQ, or perhaps hitting a few holiday sales, I hope you enjoy the day of leisure and make it a good one. One of my absolute, fave boutiques here in Los Angeles is Jane, located at Montana and 16th street. I have never been able to resist a purchase, and what Jane's does best is stock the coolest, cutest, and most affordable garments that are all built for comfort. For Labor Day and all its endless trekking from sale to sale and BBQ to BBQ, I wanted something utterly cozy. Jane was featuring this fabulous, cotton-y romper with gigantic, harem style cuts. I had to have it. <br />

For some of you, the idea of fall being around the corner may seem too early. After all who wants to say goodbye to summer? But living near the ocean is great prep for the layers and heavier weight fabrics that are to come.<br />

One easy way to begin the transition to your fall closet is to pair heavier textiles with a thick soled sandal. In this case, a rocker, Birkenstock inspired, wedge mixed with pleather and fleece. It's a nod to summer on the shoe front, but it's weighty and hearty for fall. </div>

And that's how I begin to adjust. Out with the sheer fabrics, in with the sweaters and fleece. And if you're interested in a good sale and you live in NY, CA, MA, TX, or FL, check out your neighborhood <a href="http://www.lfstores.com/">LF boutiques</a>. LF is hosting an "end of the summer" liquidation sale, which is where I picked up these flats for a steal!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Finding a perfect, gem of a vintage dress is literally one of the best feelings in the world!

Like this hand-painted, Italian, 1960's mini dress. Adorable, and infinitely wearable, I can rock this with nude heels, but it will also look great with a cashmere sweater layered for fall, or a leather jacket and biker boots in the winter.<br />

One of the best things about visiting New York is that no matter when you go, there's always a special exhibit in at least of of the major museums. This week it was Jeff Koons at the Whitney.<br />

In addition to the three floor, massive retrospective, there was also a giant, "Split Rocker" made entirely of flowering plants at Rockefeller Center. The scale was enormous. It must've stood at least three stories in height.<br />

I kept my wardrobe very minimal during my 5 days away. It was too hot and humid to layer anything so I threw on a dress and sandals daily. This bag was an amazing deal from Heavenly Couture. At under 20$ per purse I bought it in two colors to use as a basic, travel bag and it held everything, including my camera.</div>

Every time I travel I end up writing something about the necessity of light packing and strategic layering for plane rides. For my trip to NYC last week I packed only what I could fit inside a small, 12" by 15" roll-aboard, which also included a camera and reading material. Here are my tried and true tricks for maximizing suitcase space for a 5/6 day jaunt:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

1: Wear your heaviest boots/jacket on board. In my case I chose a leather, AllSaints biker jacket and booties with intensive hardware. These items take up the most space in a carry on, but they're great for trekking through the airport and wearing on board a plane when the AC is cranking.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

2: Don't wear any delicate baubles. Stick with a large necklace you can take off for security without undoing clasps or earring backs. (You'd be surprised at how easy it is to lose small studs between the metal detectors and bins).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

3: Wear your heaviest boots on board. In summer, consider booties like these with cutaway details to stay cool, and a large, structured bag you can still slip a clutch into for night. Remember, you only get these two, small bags for carry on, so make them count!<br />

4: It's summer, you don't need to pack jeans! But a comfy pair of mens baggies will do nicely for plane rides and slouchy comfort. Wear these to travel "there", and "back", and save your dresses for the suitcase. <br />

4: Prep your hair with a little product and then twist it upwards in a clip. Leave it that way for your journey. Loosen the clip when you land and you'll have body and waves upon arrival.<br />

Although my camera was with me the whole time, I was having too much fun to remember to take it out of my purse. The whole, long weekend was a blur. <br />

I checked out the Jeff Koons retrospective, visited with family and friends, ate top notch, French fare, swooned over my sister's new flat high atop the 28th floor of East 72nd street, and even managed to do some major redecorating at my parents' apartment, all while running
from place to place in the Manhattan, August humidity! <br />

Fortunately I'm a very good, light packer. 6 dresses, three pairs of sandals, and two zip locked bags of mini products were all I needed. I left for a few days with the world's tiniest roll-aboard. (But I did manage to get a makeup kit, two hair irons, PJ's, two jackets, dresses, a kimono, shoes, toiletries, skin care, a book, and a camera all into a bag that was about 12"by 12"! The key to traveling light in hot weather is not packing a ton of separates). <br />

I'm a big fan of heels. I feel sexy and powerful and statuesque in a pair of three inch pumps. But the pragmatist in me is getting older and wiser, and realizing that the safest way to still love fashion and work on my feet all day is to embrace flats. That's easy in the fall and winter, when riding boots and motorcycle heels are always big, but in the summer a girl wants a sexy sandal. My cure? Gladiator flats!<br />

Simple touches always bump up that basic, weekday denim. In this case, a little vintage trim did the trick.<br />

Other than throwing still-drying hair in a bun and adding a lengthy
necklace, I needed virtually nothing to style this vintage gem. An evening clutch, possibly some bracelets a little later, and I'm ready for
dinner tonight.<br />

I've always loved the 70's, (particularly the early part of the decade that was still drawing inspiration from the print and design of the late 60's). As a youngster I bought a lot of clothing that was "inspired" by the 70's. As an adult I've learned how to hunt for the real deal. It's no surprise that some of my favorite lines, (Winter Kate, Haute Hippie, Free People) are all 60's/70's influenced.<br />

But when you buy the real thing, it's such a delight to wear a garment that is actually "of" the period of design you love, not just inspired by it. Repro is great, originals are even better!</div>

For me the key to wearing vintage without appearing costume-y has always been to augment with contemporary accessories. Bag, shoes, hat, jewelry. Old mixed with new will make your vintage dress appear very fresh and contemporary. <br />

I'm in a major moment of re-use these days. The main reason for this is that my closet in Los Angeles is pitiably small, and there's simply NO ROOM for extra clothes. I could store them in my house in Santa Barbara, but I've honestly been finding that it's better and more efficient to whittle down the wardrobe to one, coat sized closet full of easy pieces. It's remarkable how despite/because of the constant changes in fashion, we figure out quickly what is timeless and what we can sprinkle carefully and sparingly into the mix.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

Three things that I always love and come back to, (even in an updated shape) are a black, sheer blouse, leather shorts or a mini, and nude heels. Call them the basics, but they do stand up to trend.<br />

I was feeling a little sporty when I threw on this hooded vest yesterday. My goal was to help a dear friend with a deep, closet clean-out, and I wanted to be comfortable and ready to dive in and wade through the mountain of clothing we would be sifting through.<br />

I can't recommend enough doing a bi-annual overhaul of your wardrobe. Most of us don't know/remember half of what we own. Try to be really honest about what you wear and you'll find that most of your key items only account for about 25% of your closet. The rest is composed of specialty items, impulse buys, and stuff you just don't use.When you knock out those pieces and re-sell them, you're free to invest in the items that stay the test of time. <br />

While I love bright prints and retro fabrics that announce themselves, there's something so pure about white cotton. the 1960's/70's worshiper in me loves the loud design, but the minimalist in me loves white and black.<br />

Going for last minute drinks at sunset? A little utility works when you know it's about to cool down for the evening. My staple is often jeans with heels and a flattering t-shirt. To switch it up, try coated denim, waxed jeans, or pleather. Even in the summer it can get pretty cool if you're near the water at night. Swap the white tee for white lace and sandals for moto-boots.<br />
