Behind the Scenes at Our PS1 Move! Weekend

Lancome was the makeup sponsor for PS1 Move!, the performance art/fashion event that took place over Halloween weekend with the likes of Rodarte, Proenza Schouler, Calvin Klein, Cynthia Rowley and others. Here's a behind-the-scenes video shot by our friends at Phear Creative. Eagle-eyed makeup artist fans will spot some of our favorite MUAs, including Alice Lane, Kim White and Andrew Sotomayor. Can you believe those silver Calvin Klein models? Or the Cynthia Rowley models and the paint?



As you can imagine, we went through quite a bit of the blue Bi-Facil eye makeup remover and our cult Eau Fraiche Douceur cleansing water at the end of each day.



The weekend was a lot of fun and quite a stretch from the usual makeup event. Let us know what you think!

Our Crazy PS1 Weekend! Art! Fashion! Makeup!

As mentioned, the Lancome team spent the weekend at PS1, the Long Island City museum, doing makeup for Move! This event paired top performance artists and designers for a series of performances and installations. The delightful and talented Alice Lane led the makeup team, which included some of our favorite artists such as Oslyn Holder, Kim White and Andrew Sotomayor.



The weekend was intense and crazy. Each day began at 9 a.m. when the team had to paint three very handsome Calvin Klein models with silver body paint and then coat them with silver leaf. This in itself was performance art. It took almost three hours the first day. Andrew, it turns out, is a master body painter!



I'll try to write more later. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to visit us, including our fave new blogger, Emily Weiss of Into the Gloss. (Check out her great post.) In the meantime, enjoy the pictures!!
