BEAUTY BACKSTAGE

The wheels were spinning as Team Maximo (a M.A.R.CO professional team of hair and makeup artists) was busy getting the models ready for the latest shows at fashion week in Miami. The look for this show was golden glam. This was created by giving each model a light dusting of golden shimmer all over the body and at key points on the face. This was complimented by copper and tangerine shadows on the eyes. Then the look was finished off with a beautiful array of coral toned glosses on the lips. The hair was done in sexy beach side styles. Some models had their hair pulled back in a neat ponytail, while others were loose and flowing. The overall look was a warm and sensual escape of tropical ecstasy!

HERE COMES THE SUN!

Sun is shining and all is well with the world at the latest Mercedes Benz Fashion week in South Beach, Florida. The look of the season is sun kissed and sensual. The models were in full bloom and their skin is glowing with bronzed beauty. The shimmer of coral gloss on their lips and a flower in the hair. Sunny yellows, and firecracker reds are bursting out all over. As I sit here sipping on my cool refreshing mojito, I know its my only respite from going up in flames. The heat is surging from the latest looks on the runway. Someone please splash me with some water from the pool. Dare I take another look at the luscious looks these ladies are sporting this season. Oh, I just can't help myself. Momma always told me "keep you fingers away from the flame". Awe shucks Momma...please!

Ravishing Beauty at MB Fashion Week

Just steps from Ocean Drive and the rhythm of the latin beat, the show begins. The most beautiful models, fashionistas, and stylish people fill the tents at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Miami. Hearts are pounding with anticipation, waiting to see what's to come as the lights go up. Sultry, sexy, delightful ladies (and men) strut down the runway in the most spectacular attire of the season. The colors are bold and sensual, with an electric charge in the air. From playful pastels, to romantic reds, there was much beauty to behold. These styles can really raise your pulse. The intensity of color, the flowing breeze of delicate fabrics, the form fitting fabulousness...it's enough to send you in to a frenzy! Oh what a wonderful way to start the season. Just thinking of all the opportunities to show off in your latest garb. Won't those girls be green with envy..ha, ha,ha! Oh well, back to the show. I can't get enough of this!

Welcome to M.A.R.CO. (a division of Maximo International, LLC) This is a new blog spot for us, and we are excited to start sharing with you! First of all lets talk beauty...how can you make it through a day without indulging in some form of beauty. A beautiful women walking by, a hot guy at the gym, a gorgeous gown in the fashion magazines, a spectacular garden full of exquisite flowers, and on and on and on! Oh what a wonderful world. It's so much fun being a part of an industry, whose primary focus is creating and celebrating beauty. As the founder of M.A.R.CO, I have spent a lifetime reaping the rewards of the experience of seeing "plain" transform into "perfection". A slight swipe of blush, a quick touch of gloss on the lip, and "Voila" its delightful! We are always exploring new ways of expressing beauty in the modern world. Sometimes we look back on the past and bring the best to the present, and other times we create totally new concepts to reach new levels of extraordinary. We invite you to "get on board" and take this wonderful journey with us as we explore more of what this wonderful world has to offer!
