Beauty: NYFW Backstage at VPL with Kevyn Aucoin Beauty

Erin Baiano

Lead makeup artist, Romy Soleimani, for Beauty.com, used Kevyn Aucoin products to bring VPL by Victoria Bartlett 2013 Runway Show to life by creating a tonal, neutral, fresh and sculpted face. There is a lot of action and artwork in the collection, so the makeup brings a neutral balance to all of the colors,” says Soleimani. “This is a great look for everyone. It is groomed, chic and very put together.”
