RACHEL ZOE
Looking to the designer herself, the hair, makeup and nails had a bohemian vibe at Rachel Zoe. Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury referenced a carefree Kate Moss when developing the face. She prepped skin with Maybelline Dream Fresh BB and contoured cheekbones and temples with Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Cocoa Dark. She coated eyes with a mixture of Cocoa Dark and Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadow in Bad to the Bronze for a neutral smoky effect. Tilbury then brushed Maybelline Volum' Express The Mega Plush mascara through lashes to complete the eye. She gave cheeks a fresh flush using a mix of Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Fresh Pink and Rose Petal, and naturally enhanced lips with a combination of Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Liner in Nude 20 and Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched. For a touch of quirkiness and charm, Tilbury drew freckles across the nose with Maybelline Eye Studio Master Shape Brow Pencil in Soft Brown. Hair advanced the languid vibe with a sexy bedhead look inspired by Marianne Faithfull and Brigitte Bardot.
Odile Gilbert prepped locks with Kérastase Mousse Volumactive for lift and texture and Kérastase Fibre Architecte to seal split ends. She then blow-dried hair with a round brush and formed finger curls all around the head that she pinned in place for extra volume. Right before the show, she released the curls and brushed them out, spraying on Kérastase Double Force hair spray to set the look. Gilbert gave some models temporary bangs with extensions that she cut herself on the spot. She created a braid on top of the head and sewed the bangs directly into the braid shelf for the show.
To round out the look, manicurist Honey mixed three shades for nails. She concocted a hue comprised of Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in Sweet Clementine, Porcelain Party and Born With It for a sherbet polish that she described as "dreamsicle."
