Arlenis Sosa Latina magazine March 2010 Cover and Lancôme: The radiant Arlenis Sosa, one of Lancôme’s favorite spokesmodels, was feted by Lancôme and Latina magazine on Monday night, Feburary 22nd, 2010. The party celebrated Arlenis’s cover story in the March 2010 issue of Latina (image below).

The fun party, which was held at The Lancôme Boutique on NYC’s Upper West Side, attracted quite a crowd. Makeup artist Scott Barnes was there, as were pop star Kat DeLuna and MTV’s Julissa Bermudez—fellow Dominicanas there to cheer on Arlenis. (We were especially loving Kat’s dramatic black eyeliner and glossy lips, which was done by Scott himself.) The team behind the cover—photographer Marc Baptiste and makeup artist Rene Garnes—also dropped by. Arlenis was thrilled to see designer Luis Menieur there, too. After all, he did launch her modeling career after discovering her in Santo Domingo!

Arlenis looked radiantly chic in a Bordeaux-colored Alexander Wang mini-dress. The Lancôme Boutique’s Ewa Szwed did Arlenis’s makeup for the party here are the Lancôme products used:

Color Fever Shine lipstick in Bronze Heat
Le Lipstique Sheer Plum lip liner
Color Fever Plumper in Puckered
Hypnose Drama mascara
Blush Subtil in Shimmer Violet Sunrise for contour
Blush Subtil in Rouge Glow on the apples of the cheeks
Color Design Cream Blush in Model Mocha as highlight
Le Vernis in Untamed Plum on nails

David Stanko began with the consultation process to hear directly from Angelique what she was looking to achieve and portray with her new haircolor. See the coloring process below:

Step 1: To lighten Angelique’s overall base, David used Color Gels, a dynamic permanent haircolor brand from Redken.

Step 2: Next , David added highlights with Blonde Icing Power Lift, part of the Blonde Glam Collection, which provided luxurious, conditioning lightening ability for all bases and hair types, as well as a faster and higher lift, better conditioning with exclusive Lumisilk Technology, and a new, creamier formula.

Step 3: David toned and glossed Angelique with new Shades EQ, part of the Blonde Glam Collection, which added condition and shine to any cool blonde while controlling unwanted yellow tones.

Step 4: Redken Chemistry, an exclusive, professional in-salon service, offering intense, customized treatments to help preserve Angelique’s fresh haircolor and treat distressed hair as a result of chemical and/or mechanical processes which can results in dry, brittle, frizzy, damaged, weak, sensitized, faded, and/or dull hair.

Step 5: To keep color radiant at home, David recommended the following Redken products for Angelique:

Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner dedicated to the care and preservation of color-treated hair
