Lashes depend on the model, only if needed. Cheeks are lightly highlighted without a contour. Lips are in sheer red color gloss. This makeup look goes very well with the hair style for the show, created by lead hairstylist for ghd Hair, Omar Lopez.
I finally met Omar Lopez, ghd’s lead hairstylist. Omar is fabulous!

The colors are intense and metallic. Complexion is moist and dewy. Eyes are heavy and have two looks: look number one is eye shadow in fantasy island green, and look number two is eye shadow in royal purple. Victoria also used Eye Shadow Liquifier by Too Faced ($17.50) to line the eyes.

Interview with Fashion Designer Joseph Domingo
I had the pleasure to meet the fabulous fashion designer Joseph Domingo backstage just before the debut of his Fall 2008 collection at LA Fashion Week.
Joseph Domingo and Marta Walsh at Talking Makeup.
Joseph seemed very passionate about his work and particularly about his latest collection. Needless to say, that Joseph’s collection was one of my favorites at the fashion week. I saw at least 3 outfits that I wanted to have! Now that’s a good sign. I also got a chance to chat with him and learn more about his muse for the show.
Interview with Joseph Domingo by Marta Walsh:
Marta: Can you tell us about the inspiration of your Fall 2008 Collection?
Joseph: My collection this season is Vixen inspired, cat woman, Jessica Rabbit, the film Body Heat. A sexy but strong woman. The waist is form fitted. It’s not short, it’s below the knee. You don’t to show much skin in order to be sexy. It’s more of a silhouette.
Marta: Who do you see wearing your collection, or your ideal mannequin?
Joseph: Halle Berry, Jessica Alba.
Marta: What is the color scheme throughout your collection?
Joseph: Black, red, copper, and purple.
Marta: Where did you draw the inspiration for the color scheme?
Joseph: It’s when I saw a cat woman outfit and it’s just goes from there. A lot of bustiers. The color purple is a classic, and I always incorporate red in my collections. I think red is a very sensual color for a woman, every woman should have a little red dress.
Marta: What is your favorite outfit from the collection?
Joseph: It’s the last piece you are going to see at the runway, a jacket (black three-quarter sleeve satin jacket with embellished back & shoulders with belt). You wouldn’t think a jacket can be sexy, but this one is long, sits on the waist, 3/4 length. It has an embroidery in the back that you can see once the model walks back on the stage. So it’s very dramatic. And I always love drama.
