I'm not one to go ga-ga over supermodels --with sole exception of Dovima. While she was on the screen, I though she stole the show in Funny Face. I wanted to see more of her! Not only was she quirky on-screen, with her over-the-top New York accent and comic book. She was quirky in real life. She loved comic books and would bring a trunk full of them when on location! I couldn't help but love someone like that. Here, is my Homage to the lovely Dovima. Think of it as a modern day way of playing with paper-dolls. I imagine what Dovima would wear and like then and now.
- Dovima in photo shoot for Vogue -- Check out that fierce winged liner and those uber arched brows!
- Black Moon Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick in Sanguis -- Per their website -- This is the perfect blue-based red. It's a vintage va-va-voom red perfect for the era Dovima embodied.
- NYX Micro-Brow -- A very fine point for those flawlessly drawn, perfectly arched brows!
- Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eye Liner + Serum in Ultra Black -- for that fierce winged eyeliner.
- Christian Louboutin Eloise Small Two Handle Bag -- Dovima was known for being Richard Avedon's muse. As such, she was dressed in some unique fashion. I think this handbag is glorious and fits that perfectly -- elegant with a touch of edge.
- Ultra-Lounge Mambo Fever -- If you love fun, classic movies that embody Dovima's era, you'll love this CD!
- Zoya Pinta -- Zoya describes this color as a dark purple creme with very strong blue undertones. For a more edgy look; or, for black and white photo shoots.
- Black Phoenix Alchemy Liz perfume oil from their Hellboy collection -- A light, feminine vanilla floral perfume and a swirl of smoke and leather. As I said at the top, Dovima loved reading comic books. So I thought it only fitting that she have a perfume named after a comic book franchise and character.
- NARS Dovima Nail Polish -- Yes! There is a nail polish named after her! This is a beautiful tomato red.
- Noir Jewelry Gotham City DC Comics Stackable Ring Set -- She loves comics and she's from New York. Perfect!
- Noir Jewelry Gotham City DC Comics Bracelet -- An edgy beautiful bracelet detailing Gotham City.
- Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Black Truffle -- A beautiful blackish violet lipstick for an edgier look or for black and white photo shoots.
- DC Comics Guardians of The Galaxy -- I thought she'd enjoy this humorous offbeat comic.
- Robert Piguet Fracas -- With it's white floral and tuberose notes, Fracas is ultra feminine, modern and sexy, like the model herself.
- Suva Beauty Hydracream Base in Pantyhose -- Dovima was often made up in intensely colored blue or green lids. Pantyhose is the perfect cruelty-free dupe for MAC's Painterly -- to prime those lids for long lasting and more intensely colored shadow application.
- Noir Jewelry Pow/Bang DC Comics Statement Necklace -- A fun, humorous necklace to proclaim Dovima's love of comic books.
- Christian Louboutin Dorispiky Pumps -- Edge and elegance combined into one drool-worthy red-bottomed pump.
- Makeup Geek Poolside Eyeshadow Pan -- Dovima's eyelids were often done sharply in bright ocean blues or greens. In keeping with that, I chose this slightly shimmery shadow.
- Suva Beauty Hydracream Base in Satire -- this is a matte cream base for the eyelids. Perfect as a base for Makeup Geeks poolside or any sky to medium blue.
- Dovima in Funny Face -- Kay Thompson: "What are you reading, Marion?" Dovima: "Minute Men From Mars!"
