As fashion week comes to an end, we want to bring the runway looks to you! Not just the clothes, but the make-up too. Victor Henao was the key MUA (meaning he was in charge) at the Jonathan Simkhai and Eryn Brinie shows during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. On the video below, watch as Henao demonstrates how to get thick, exotic eyebrows like the models at the Simkhai show, and how to go for a more subtle but dark look like the girls at Eryn Brinie using Pür Minerals and Smashbox cosmetics respectively.
We should mention that Henao was the first make-up artist to be signed under Top 5 Management, a hair and make-up agency representing the top artists in the industry!

My latest favorite product comes from Ambi which is great for women of color
By Bijoux
I was first introduced to Ambi products at Shecky’s Beauty Night out. It was included in their gift bag, and I’ve been using the Ambi Even & Clear Exfoliating Face Wash ever since. It’s like a moisturizing lotion that leaves your skin feeling so soft, while others strip your face off its natural oils leaving you looking dry and feeling tight. I was eager to find out about other Ambi products.
While stocking up on what’s turned out to be my favorite face wash these days, I came across Ambi’s Fade Cream which helps reduce the appearance of scars and spots caused by acne which can make skin tones look uneven. They come in your choice of Normal or Oily Skin. I also love that they’re not expensive and are made for women of color. Due to darker hues, some women are more vulnerable to marks and discolorations. So Ambi takes that in to consideration to make nothing but the best products for Latina and African American women all over the world. Which Ambi product suits you?
