Established 2008

Fall 2008 exhibition

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 is one of the auxiliary exhibitions, located in the hallway leading to my makeup room (where I keep the entire collection and where my vanity lives):

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…

  1. Very cool! I’d love to see pictures of your vanity and collection. I imagine everything must be organized systematically… 🙂
    Great blog, by the way. Great for curators-to-be who have a secret love of cosmetics.
