You might be wondering what I do with all of the lovely makeup items I've collected over the years. Believe it or not, I actually have a real Makeup Museum in my apartment, spread across 3 rooms, where I display some of my collection on shelves and change the items with each season. I've just put the finishing touches on the fall installation, so here's a chance to see my fall-themed beauties and memorabilia on display. (Note: the other items shown are from my fiance's toy collection – I think it makes a nice contrast!)
This is the main exhibition, located in the bedroom:
Here are some detailed shots.
Armani's Fall 2008 python palette and Dior's Impression Cuir eyeshadow, along with some friends:
Clinique Fall 2007 promo ad and Shu Fall 2008 palette, along with MAC Cult of Cherry postcard, Shu Qee figure, and YSL Fauve palette:

And the other auxiliary exhibition in the office:
Who knows, maybe someday I'll have these installations in a real public space rather than my apartment. A curator can dream…

Great blog, by the way. Great for curators-to-be who have a secret love of cosmetics.
