Day to Night

Makeup looks different by day than it does by night. Everyday makeup is applied with a soft touch so that it looks natural under bright lighting conditions. Evening makeup is applied with a dramatic touch so that it pops in low-light situations. In this workshop, you create a subtle yet beautiful everyday look and transform it into an evening look with simple, quick techniques. Workshops are open to anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of makeup application.

Graffiti Hall of Fame - 39th Annual Edition
From the event description:
The Graffiti Hall of Fame started in the El Barrio section of East Harlem, at a playground on the corner of 106th Street and Park Avenue. It was a local meet up for graffiti writers from around the city as a place to hangout and exchange tales of subway bombing runs (painting expeditions). The walls of the playground served as a vandal's safe haven to practice and test new skills and forge relationships. Now officially 38 years in existence, it is undoubtedly the Mecca of the graffiti movement. Much contemporary street art began within the four walls of the GHOF
When: Saturday, Aug. 24, 1 p.m.- Sunday, Aug. 25, 10 p.m.
Where: Graffiti Hall of Fame, 106th Street and Park Avenue
