Whose Makeup Smoldered Most At The MET Gala?
Posted in: Uncategorized  | While this year’s MET Gala seemed relatively more tame than the last in terms of imaginative (and in some guests’ cases, disastrous) fashion, last Monday’s ball still served as an outlet for celebrities of all kinds to sparkle and shine in their evening wear. However, as a beauty fiend I couldn’t help but focus more on the guests’ makeup and hair as they romped the red carpet, and while none were particularly innovative, wild, or GaGa-esque, I was pretty surprised at the variety of beauty looks across the board. Some celebs opted to tone it down like Sarah Jessica Parker, who boasted a summer glow in shimmery bronze and neutral hues, and Jessica Biel, who kept it earthy with plum cheeks and berry lipstick. On the other side of the spectrum, Jennifer Lopez went for the classic smokey eye look which complemented her untamed updo, while Sienna Miller focused only on her top lashline for a half-smoldering look that made her blue eyes pop. And of course Camilla Belle looked gorgeous as always, this time rocking a vintage-inspired Old Hollywood look with dramatic cat-eye liner that balanced her bold brows. Vote below on whose red carpet beauty look is your favorite! Photo Credit: PR Photos |

pThis year at BKLYN Designs, manufacturer and design house a href=”http://www.rammetals.com”RAM Metals/a and its subsidiaries (a href=”http://tideshome.com”Tides/a, a href=”http://planterworx.com”Planter Worx/a and a href=”http://raineheidenberg.com”Raine Heidenberg/a Interior Design) put forth a strong selection of expertly crafted metal furniture and planters. /p

pThe work stood out from the crowd by placing an emphasis on faceted and sculptural forms. They also had a very eye-catching centerpiece (an adjustable height table built around an elaborate mechanism) that the designer playful referred to as “crankenstein.”/p
pTheir Shard Planter Bench (pictured top) was of particular note, as its pointed and slender features, inspired by ocean jettys, shifted dynamically as you walk around it. Also featured was a new chair released under their outdoors line, Tides. The chair, made of white powder-coated aluminum, reinforced their fascination with atypical geometry executed with an attention to cleanliness./p
