MAKEUP: Gucci Westman for Revlon HAIR: Guido Palau for Redken NAILS: Roxanne for CND SNAPSHOT: Just rolled out of bed, in the 90s
THE SCOOP: The look at Rag & Bone was very "I don't care," circa 1992. "My inspiration was Kate Moss or Courtney Love -- when she still wore natural looking makeup -- in the 90s, like they just rolled out of bed, said makeup artist Gucci Westman. "Confident, but in a cool, nonchalant way."
That idea translated to smudgily lined eyes a, minimal mascara, subtle blush and supernaturally nude lips. When asked how those of us at home can do the "slept in" look without looking like we should stay in bed, Westman advised to us to apply black eye liner on the inside of the top and lower lash lines. Squeeze your eyes together and go over the base of the lashes with a Q-Tip. "The color will keep transferring down," said Westman. But it'll do so in a pretty, vs a messy way.
Hair stylist Guido Palau used lots of hairspray to give the models a look reminiscent of the early 90s, but with lots of texture. "These girls have a little edge," he said. "They don't look too pretty." He gave models a flat front, and then teased the hair at the crown for messy volume.
GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: Line the insides of the upper and lower lash lines with Luxurious Color Eye Liner in Black Velvet. She lightly painted the lashes with Double Twist Mascara in Blackest Black, and dotted the lips with ColorBurst Lipstick in Soft Nude.
Inspired by a collection rich in texture, the makeup for the Fall 2010 Yigal Azrouel collection is about the texture of the skin. Chic, yet effortless, skin is bronzed with emphasis on cheeks, and eyes are softly defined in beige and brown tones. Nude lips complete a fairly monotone, natural look, with the exception of a strong, linear, defined brow. Makeup How-to

Hair How-to
The modern, asymmetrical ensembles that ruled the runway were completed with a contemporary, sleek hairstyle created by John Frieda International Creative Consultant Harry Josh. “The collection had a clean, modern feel,” says Harry. “I wanted to complement that aesthetic with a very comfortable and effortlessly chic look. The inspiration came from the models themselves, who would come into casting and quickly pull their hair back into a bun. I really wanted to create a look that a woman wearing BCBG would sport herself, since the looks on the runway were also extremely wearable.”
Harry began by applying John Frieda’s Frizz-Ease Take Charge Mousse to dry hair and blow drying, using his fingers instead of a brush to separate the hair from the root and create texture. The technique was crucial to recreating the “pulled back” look any girl would get while styling her own hair. Once the hair was secured in a low pony, Harry added a small amount of John Frieda’s new Root Awakening Strength Restoring Smoothing Lotion to the ends of the hair to ensure the tips were healthy looking and defined. He then wrapped the pony into a twisted bun, leaving the tips of the hair sticking out in a fan-like “fringe.” “The fringe really completed the look made this low, classic bun a modern, chic style,” says Harry.

MAKEUP: Diane Kendall for Nars HAIR: Eugene Souleiman Wella NAILS: Kim D'Amato of Priti Polish SNAPSHOT: Modern dancers
THE SCOOP: Thakoon's Fall 2010 collection is inspired by Chopinot & Gaultier's Le Défilé, a dance troupe that collaborated with Jean Paul Gautier for costumes in the 80s and early 90s. "I was inspired by the costumes used in this show and wanted to create a collection that reflected that same era but without the goth element," said designer Thakoon Panichgul.
With such a strong focus, the hair, makeup and nails were kept fresh and simple. "We kept the makeup very natural and luminous," said makeup lead Diane Kendall. Her focus was strong brows, ("After seeing no brows for so long it's refreshing to do them again," said Kendall), along with structural neutrals, to convey depth and boldness without fighting the intricate textures and layers of the clothing.
The hair look was a "destroyed blowdry," matte and bed-heady, with "savage texture," thanks to loads of baby powder sprinkled in, said hair stylist Martin Schmock.
And nails were naked-looking, but matted down with a matte polish so there was zero reflection on the runway. "Thakoon didn't want any attention on the nails, so we took away any chance of shine," said manicurist Kim D'Amato.
GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Nars. Create a strong brow using deep brown Coconut Grove Single Eyeshadow (new for Fall 2010), with a little Bali Single Eyeshadow swept on top. Highlight eyes with Portobello Duo Eyeshadow on and underneath the eyelid. Use Tzarine Duo Eyeshadow (a gorgeously sparkly taupy-gray and pale gold duo that's the new for Fall 2010) on the eyes, the golden shade as a highlighter on the browbone, and the gray shade very lightly on the lids for pretty definition. Cheeks were defined with Douceur Blush (new for Fall 2010 -- try Madly Blush for a similar effect) and lips were made matte and nude with Tashkent Pure Matte Lipstick (new for Fall 2010).
GET THE LOOK - HAIR: Pick a few sections of hair and curl them to create an imperfect wave. Then, spray a bit of talcum powder into the hair and rustle it around to create matte texture.
GET THE LOOK - NAILS: File nails short and polish with Priti Polish in Pretty Loves Matte.
MAKEUP: Charlotte Tilbury for M.A.C. HAIR: Eugene Souliman for Wella Professionals (Styling); Eva Scrivo for Wella Professionals (Color) SNAPSHOT: A high society (yet casually approachable) girl who takes her horse out for a ride on the weekends
THE SCOOP: Known for her trademark take in New York sporty chic, Donna Karen's design for DKNY Fall 2010 centers around long, lean silhouettes in a neutral palette of colors for the active and metropolitan city girl. The beauty look is just as low-maintenance and approachable, with an equestrian-inspired look that sweeps into a low side ponytail that flirtatiously sits over the shoulder.
Unlike most other collections, hair color is also incorporated into the final model look - with custom-blended pieces that were glued to hair using a medical adhesive not unlike eyelash glue, and then set with the cold blast hair dryer button.
"DKNY is about the city, and style that looks organic and casual. This new Wella color I used on the extensions has toner in it, to prevent red molecules from turning brassy - so you get a very sunkissed yet lived-in look. For the everyday woman, clip-in extensions are a great way to try a new color without the damage or commitment," says Scrivo.
Both the natural makeup and casual hair are equestrian-inspired, with a touch of refinement without any of the pretension.
GET THE LOOK MAKEUP - For fall, Studio Sculpt Powders in Bone Beige and Shadowy - which are working names - were used to brighten and gently define eyes. Brown Mascara was applied to the base of lashes only for a hint of color, and groomed brows were kept quietly polished with Clear Brow Finisher. And another new-for-Fall item, Cocochino Lipstick (another working name) was pressed into lips as a nude stain.
GET THE LOOK HAIR - After hair was prepped with System Professional Volumagic and blow dried with a large round brush, Souliman rakes his hands through the hair to loosen waves - finally fastening locks to the side in a low ponytail. System Professional Hypercurl applied to the length of the pony added texture and separation.

Both Orlando Pita, working with T3 at the show, and James Kaliardos, working with MAC Cosmetics, were inspired by Diane von Furstenberg herself in creating the looks at the designer's show.
"I was particularly inspired by Diane from the Seventies," said Kaliardos, who made his focus the eye. First, he smoothed MAC black cream eyeliner on with a brush from lid to browbone, using it as an eye shadow base. Next, he layered MAC pigments in Steel Blue and Cornflower Blue over the black base to add depth, finishing with Sparkle 3D in silver for runway shimmer. Kaliardos lined the inside of the bottom lid with MAC's Smolder pencil (a deep black).Eyelashes were curled and shaded with MAC's Zoomblack mascara. MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation was applied with a brush for a perfect finish, and lips were deemphasized with MAC's Dim Lip Erase.
Pita was devoted to keeping it real with the hair. "Diane's girls have an individualized look, and this is something that looks like they could have done it themselves," he said. First, Pita spritzed hair with T3's Elevate Spray to hold the set, then wrapped hair around a large-barreled curling iron.Eschewing combs and brushes, he ran his hands through the girls' hair to separate curls and add a real-girl feeling. "I really want girls to forget that whole barrel curls thing," he said. "You know you're in trouble when the Real Housewives of wherever are wearing a style. And the hair shouldn't be more important than the clothes."
MAKEUP: Gordon Espinet for M.A.C HAIR: Ashley Javier for Kérastase NAILS: Roxanne Valinoti for CND
Snapshot: Girlish take on feminine elegance
With a Fall 2010 collection inspired by menswear, Sarafpour requested that the beauty look balance the clothing with a soft, feminine and sumptuous feel.
"We wanted a sophistication in the makeup that didn't seem overdone, because that just screams 'office lady,'" says Espinet. The result? Groomed brows, healthy skin and natural touches of makeup that complimented the complexion without overwhelming it - except when it came to the mascara. "I have seven sisters, so I know firsthand that a young girl never knows when to say 'when' with mascara, so we overdid the lashes. It's young and sexy," adds Espinet.
Finger tips followed suit in a neutral milky beige tone, enhanced by a matte topcoat that gave nails a cashmere look and feel.
"The Behnaz woman wants to be a part of something new, so we went for something more cutting edge with the hair," says Javier.The top middle portion of hair was pulled back into a "baby grand beehive," and knotted at the top of the head - with the rest of the hair left full and flowing, styled with a curling iron. "To make it less Toddlers and Tiaras, don't curl the ends of your hair - it looks too perfect. And brush through after curling so your hair picks up the wave in its own way," says Javier.
GET THE LOOK MAKEUP - For a soft look to the skin, Espinet applied Care Essential Oil to hydrate and prep, and made skin flawless with Mineralize SkinFinish Powder. A new caramel bronzer for fall that is yet to be named was blended on cheekbones while Tinted Lip Conditioner in Soothing Beige was dabbed on lips. Lots of black mascara and a touch of clear brow gel finished the look.
GET THE LOOK HAIR - After applying Mouse Nutri-Sculpt to strands and blowing out, the top center of hair was sectioned off and pulled straight back into a knot on the top of the head. A light spritz of Double Hold Hairspray held strands in place without making hair feel crunchy.
GET THE LOOK NAILS - For a soft, textured nail that looks like satin fabric, Valinoti used two coats of Dessert Suede Nail Polish followed with a coat of Super Matte for a lush finish.
