Marc Jacobs

Worn-Out Sophistication Backstage at Marc Jacobs
by Matthew W. Evans

Backstage at Marc Jacobs on Monday, François Nars, creator of Nars Cosmetics, described the makeup look he did as “very simple” and “sexy, cool — like when Kate Moss goes out and wears the same makeup the next day. It’s a worn-out look, not overdone, but beautiful on the runway.”

The lips were given a pale, coral-orange color, inspired by a visit Jacobs made to Bloomingdale’s, where he found a coral shade from the Nars collection that he liked. “The lips will look dry with a stain of that [coral-orange] color,” Nars said of the final matte lip look.

On the eyes were two shades, a gray lavender hue and a pale, faded baby blue, which were applied with the fingers to give the worn look. Black liner also was applied to the eyes, along with “tons and tons” of mascara for a sticky, clumpy finish, Nars said, calling it a “focal point” of the overall look.

“All the colors of the show are neutral, beige and brown, so the makeup is the only focal point of color,” Nars said of Jacobs’ fashion collection. “Marc had a specific idea of how he wanted the girls to look — really cool.”

The face was kept “very natural,” Nars said, with liquid foundation, powder and a little blush for a shine-free finish. “The skin tone remains the same as the girls’ natural tone.” Redken creative consultant Guido Palau, who styled the hair at Jacobs’ show, did a dry, textured down do that could be tucked into the big collars on some of the clothes found in Jacobs’ collection.

“It’s a very easy look, not grungy, but sophisticated,” Palau said.

To achieve the style, models’ hair was first trimmed either the day before or the day of the show to a length that was below the collarbone but above the bustline. Then, layers were cut into the hair onto which Palau spritzed Redken’s Fabricate, a heat-activated texturizing product. “It’s a French, Seventies-movie feel,” Palau said of the inspiration. “There’s an ease to the sophistication — it’s not an unkempt look.”

Chris Benz

​

MAKEUP: Daniel Martin for Lancôme
HAIR: John Ruidant for Redken
NAILS: Ana-Maria Gheorghiu for Lancôme
SNAPSHOT: Modern take on the 90's grunge chick

THE SCOOP: A Parsons grad and former Marc Jacobs intern, twenty seven year-old Chris Benz's Fall 2010 collection is interlaced with a young, hip vibe - featuring night life-ready shiny fabrics for city girls on the go. The beauty look is inspired by by the edgy and lipliner-loving 90s college girl (hello, Brenda Walsh!), but with a modern twist that refines the makeup a smidge without losing its rebelious air.

Hair toed the line of grunge, with one french braid on the top crown and a second one weaved casually through the side of the head.

Nails were more grown-up in a neutral nude shade - and kept away from the stereotypical short dark nail that would have been too easy to rely on for a grunge look.

GET THE LOOK MAKEUP - Martin used Le Crayon Poudre in Sable - which is an eyebrow pencil - to line the mouth and fully fill in the top lip, and then the new Matte Lipcolor in Bronze Show was pressed into the lips to prevent ring-around-the-mouth from forming once the lipcolor faded. Juicy Tube in Touch of Light added shine to the lips, and Blush Subtil in Cappucine lightly warmed up the cheek bones.

For the grunge-inspired smoky black eye, a cream gel black shimmer shadow set to debut in Fall was blended on the lids up into the crease, with a layer of brown cream shadow added to slightly tone down the black.

GET THE LOOK HAIR - After applying Fabricate #3 Heat Texturizer to locks, Ruidant quickly power=dried strands. Then Thickening Lotion #6 was worked into the hair and the crown teased for volume. A french braid took the top crown area, and a messy braid pulled to one side completed the look.

GET THE LOOK NAILS - A new nail lacquer for fall - Sweet Nude - is a soft coral nude with a metalic gold finish for an edge. After one coat of color, a layer of topcoat added high impact shine.

Maybelline @ Vivienne Tam

“Classic China Doll” was the beauty look at Vivienne Tam with a deep, luscious red lip complemented by a flawless, porcelain complexion.
Makeup How-to

Maybelline New York Global Makeup Artist, Charlotte Willer, went classic femme fatale by pairing deep cherry-bitten lips with bare cheeks. Eyes were accented in the corners with a shimmering light beige eyeshadow to evoke sexy screen siren. Natural brows created a pretty, “not-too-perfect” look. Charlotte first lined the lips precisely and then filled in the entire lip area in feathered strokes for a long-lasting, perfectly rich red result using Red Color Sensational Lip Liner.
Charlotte used the lightest shade of Copper Chic Eye Studio Eyeshadow Quad in the corner of the eye as a shimmery, feminine accent and focal point. For the face, a luminous finish and natural coverage from Mineral Powder Natural Perfecting Foundation paired perfectly with intense lips. Brows were defined with Define-a-Brow Eyebrow Pencil to create a natural looking brow.

LOOK: “This look has many layers,” said NARS lead artist Lisa Butler. “The eyes are punchy and edgy while the skin was kept healthy and glowing. The lips are a soft, sheer pink for the elegant punk-rock princess style that Phillip was looking for.”

More pictures of this look in this post.

INSPIRATION: "I was inspired by the film La Vie des Autres. I wanted the models to have a dirty look as if the hair and makeup had been slept in," said designer Marc Jacobs, who specifically requested Barbarella lipstick to be used on the models’ l...ips.

LOOK: “This look is what you’d see on a girl from the East Village or St. Germain des Pres-an existentialist with a modern twist,” said NARS Cosmetics Founder and Creative Director François Nars whose application technique included using his fingers to achieve the faded effect. “These girls are sexy and cool. Their makeup looks dirty and worn out as if it has been on all night but still translates beautifully on the runway.”

Nanette Lepore

​

MAKEUP: Makky for M.A.C
HAIR: Esther Langham for Moroccanoil
SNAPSHOT: Modern Renaissance

THE SCOOP: Beautiful -- that was the word on everyone's lips backstage at Nanette Lepore. In fact, more than a few people said it was their favorite beauty look from New York Fashion Week thus far!

Langham created two hair looks for the show -- one of glossy, cascading waves and the other a romantic, loose updo. She said both were inspired by Renaissance art. "It's very romantic," she explained. "[The down look] is gorgeous, with bounce and shine."

The makeup look was a modern twist on the smoky eye/bold lipstick combo. Makky did a soft smoky eye by "blending it out so there is no line. It's not a nighttime smoky eye -- and it's young." The real kicker was his two-toned lip creation with magenta on top and burgundy on the bottom. Cool!

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All products by M.A.C. Makky did a light, blended smoky eye with Eye Kohl in Smolder and Zoom Lash Mascara. On the top lip he apply Lip Pencil in Magenta and a magenta lipstick that won't launch until fall 2010 (but you can get the same look with Lipstick in Utter Fun), and on the bottom lip he did Lip Pencil in Burgundy, Lipstick in Odyssey and Pro Lipstick in Charred Red.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All products by Moroccanoil. Langham applied a cocktail of Treatment mixed with Intense Curl Cream to wet hair and blew it dry. She then sprayed hair with Luminous Hair Spray and wrapped 1-inch sections around a curling iron to create long ringlet curls, made a low side part, and then brushed through the hair with Ceramic Ionic Hair Brush (not out yet!). For the updo she pulled the hair back into a low, very loose braid and rolled it up until it reached the head, and then secured with pins. She finished both looks with a light misting of Glimmer Shine Spray.

Narciso Rodriguez

MAKEUP: Dick Page for Shiseido
HAIR: Eugene Souleiman for Wella
MAKEUP: Deborah Lippmann for Lippmann Collection
SNAPSHOT: Strong and sculptural

THE SCOOP: While the structured, graphic collection Narciso Rodriguez put out for Fall 2010 didn't stray far from the fashions he's become famous for, there was one striking difference between this collection and his last few: The hair; it was down.

"It's quite rare for him, you know. He's usually about updo's," hair stylist Eugene Souleiman said of Rodriguez. "We both decided to leave the hair down tonight, as we wanted a younger, fresher look." He gave hair a graphically straight, sleek look that would adhere to the stark lines of the dresses.

The sculptural theme was continued on the brows, which were slashed with dark gray tones. "The brows create a strong, architectural line," said makeup artist Dick Page. "The lips give the girls a punch of color, but the the overall look is a little scrubby and rough."

Manicurist Deborah Lippmann rounded out the nails with zero polish, just her trusty nail buffer, and some good hand cream which was applied at Rodriguez's direction. "He wanted the nails to be very shiny, and the skin to look supple and moisturized," Lippmann explained.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Shiseido. To bold out the brows, mix together Accentuating Cream Liner in Black with white cream eye shadow, for a creamy gray mixture that is then applied to the arches using an eyebrow brush. Give eyes a dusting of shine with Luminizing Satin Eye Color in High Beam White and Soft Beam Gold. Finish the look with a dash of Perfect Rouge Glowing Matte Lipstick in Whisper.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: "The secret to this look is the blowdry," said Souleiman. He parted the hair in the center and blew dry it flat at the roots on each side. He then dried the side portions of hair downwards, but then directed them over to the side and back. This will help hair stay super flat. He further flattened hair by spritzing it with Wella High Hair Flat Iron Spray and alternating a flattening iron with a small tooth comb for a slick straight appearance.

GET THE LOOK - NAILS: The key to the nails is good grooming. Shine them up with a nail buffer, and coat lots of rich hand moisturizer on top.

Proenza Schouler

MAKEUP: Diane Kendal for Mac Cosmetics
HAIR: Didier Malige for Frédéric Fekkai
SNAPSHOT: Urban Surfer Girls

THE SCOOP: Deep, dark lips matched a predominantly brunette cast of models at Proenza Schouler's Fall 2010 show Wednesday night, lending backstage a slightly early-90s-grunge feel.

Makeup took inspiration from model Kristen McMenamy, who at the height of her career in the 90s, was known for her unconventional and somewhat androgynous look. Makeup artist Diane Kendal gave girls a deep dark lip -- purple for the blondes and charred red for the brunettes. "We mixed it with black eye shadow to make it matte and deep," said Kendal."We kept the skin very fresh and luminous with a contour underneath, and a dark brown grease paint around the eyes, but it's really all about the dark lips."

Tousled, textured hair was the story in the next room over, where stylist Didier Malige created a very laid-back look. "It's urban surfer girls, who love their hair and love its texture, but it has to be very simple," said Malige, who left girls' hair down and slightly messy. "It mixes well with the clothes, because there are a lot of darker tones and same with the hair."

The easy look was less about product and more about the way hair felt, but Mailge did spritz some Océanique spray to create a crispy finish, and add some gel for a bit of lift.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All products by Mac Cosmetics. Kendal brushed Dark Brown Cream Colour Base under and around the eyes, as well as in the crease and on top of the lash line. On skin, she used Studio Fix where needed, and Blot Powder to set and keep skin matte. She also applied NC 50 Studio Finish Concealer on cheek bones to contour. Blonde models received Smoked Purple Lipstick on lips, while brunettes got Charred Red mixed with Carbon Eye Shadow. Kendal made lip color deeper in the center and faded the edges.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All products by Frédéric Fekkai. Malige used Coiff Océanique Tousled Wave Spray for texture and Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel to add height.

Marchesa

MAKEUP: Talia Shobrook for Le Métier de Beauté
HAIR: Renato Campora for Frédéric Fekkai
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: French Circus

THE SCOOP: Marchesa's beautifully-crafted dresses never fail to engender wardrobe-envy among even the most fashion-fortunate women, and Fall 2010 was no different. Designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig looked to the circus for inspiration, reineventing the concept in a very chic, vibrant way for Marchesa's fall/winter collection.

"It's like the French Circus," said makeup artist Talia Shobrook, who made eyes and lips the centerpiece of the look. "So I wanted to play with the eye shape and make it more circular, and then give it a pop with rhinestones. I followed that through with a sea-foam colored powder so that it almost looks like a tear -- even though I would not be crying if I was wearing one of their dresses," she quipped. In keeping with the circus theme, Shobrook canceled out the lip with pink and then painted the middle to lend a new shape.

Playing off the courtesan and whimsical feel of the circus theme, lead stylist Renato Campora created a very matte, voluminous twist that managed to have a very urban-chic feel to it. "The inspiration was kind of the reinvention of the circus," said stylist Elie Camoroso. "The hair is dry with a ton a texture." The twist was finished with grosgrain ribbon at the base.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All products by Le Métier de Beauté. On lips, Shobrook used Miami Lipstick under Bali-Or-Kona lipstick, which was blotted in the center. On eyes, she used a bluish-green shadow called Blue Steel and then mixed it with a new product called Magic, which was used all over the face.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All products by Frederic Fekkai. Campora used Fekkai Au Naturel Powder Clean Dry Shampoo, to make hair full and dry, and add texture. He also used Fekkai COIFF Extra Control Styling Gel for hold. Then he set hair in barrel curls with tin foil, clamped it with a flatiron to set it and then took everything out in very braided-messy ponytail that had an extension in it for a more dramatic look. He finished it off with a black ribbon tied around the bun in back.

Derek Lam

​

MAKEUP: Tom Pecheux for Estée Lauder
HAIR: Orlando Pita for Moroccanoil
NAILS: Jin Soon Choi for Estee Lauder
SNAPSHOT: Ethereal Cowgirls

THE SCOOP: Derek Lam's Fall 2010 "Myth of the West" collection was an ode to the modern cowgirl, with makeup and hair that portrayed strength and delicacy, all at once.This runway show marked Estée Lauder's first fashion week collaboration, led by new creative makeup director Tom Pecheux. Backstage was a testing ground for the colors he created for Fall, a departure from Lauder's trademark neutrals into the high-impact color category. We spotted some bright green shadows and pretty fuchsia blushes at Pecheux's work station, but the look at Lam was all about the blues.

Pecheux used two shades, a navy and a royal blue, on the lids, with metallic copper shadow along the lower lashelines and, to tie the look together, on the lips. "The navy eye creates a powerful look, but we are blending really well, so it's a continuous wash, versus a graphic shape," he told StyleList. The lips were spotted with lip color as a base, then brushed with the same copper shade used beneath the eyes. " When you do strong eyes, you need a lip that balances them," he said. " Using a lipstick in a tone that ties in to an aspect of the eyes will do that."

"We're going for a textured, whispy, very ethereal look," said hair stylist Orlando Pita of the hair, as he spritzed tresses with light hairspray, and brushed it through the hair. "It's quite soft, we're layering with hairspray, lettign it dry and then brushing it out. The effect on the runway will be soft and full of movement."

Nails just got a whisp of color, with a yet-to-be-named shade by Estée Lauder. "The eyes are so smoky, so we wanted a clean look on the nails," explained manicurist Jin Soon Choi. "So they are very sheer and natural."

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Estée Lauder. The eye makeup, which was used on both eyes and lips, are new for Fall 2010. Brush the royal blue shade from lash lines to browbones, then apply the navy blue shade, arching from the inner corner of the eye up to the outer corners of the brows, blending well so there are no divisions between the two shades. Line lids with Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil in Midnight Blue, and top eyes off with Turbolash All Effects Motion Mascara in Black. Apply a light layer of Pure Color Crystal Lipstick in Crystal Beige, with a dusting of copper shadow on top.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: Blow dry hair, then spritz with Moroccanoil Hair Spray, let it dry, brush through with a paddlebrush, and spritz and brush again (an again) until desired fly-away effect is achieved.

GET THE LOOK - NAILS: A new Estée Lauder shade of sheer, milky white with subtle sparkles. No name yet.

Badgley Mischka

Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury for MAC Cosmetics created an “Avatar”-inspired warrior princess look, with a dramatically contoured face. She applied a light brown shadow across the eyelid, pulling the color out to the sides for an almost feline effect. Shadow also ran down the length of the nose. Cheek bones were contoured with brown tones as well, and amplified with shimmering white highlighter under the eye and in the inner corners of the eyes. She brushed brows with clear gel and applied brown mascara in the shade Burnt Umber on the top lashes. Lips were bare.

Hairstylist Peter Gray for Redken continued the theme, creating two distinct hair styles for the show, as the designers showed both gowns and their diffusion line Mark & James. Gray described the first style as a princess look. A panel of hair was tightly pulled back on both sides and the top was kept loose with some height. The strands were then twisted in a rope design at the back of the head. To create the look, he misted Layer Lift 07 into the hair to give it a base [the key to prepping hair for multiple styles, said Gray] which he worked through using a blow-dryer. He also applied self-adhesive hair extension down the back of the hair. For the second look, referred to as “warrior princess,” the updo was let loose, and stylists worked feverishly to straighten the long strains, leaving the front of the hair as is. “The tension of the hair at sides of the face give a nice eye lift,” said Gray.

Nails were equally strong and futuristic, painted in Marquee Moon from Deborah Lippmann collection. Manicurist Deborah Lippmann described the color as “futuristic, sequins silver,” as there were tiny silver sequins embedded in the sparkling formula.

Biker Chic Backstage at William Rast
by Matthew W. Evans
Posted Thursday February 18, 2010
From WWD.COM

Brigitte Bardot once again inspired a New York Fashion Week beauty look — this time at the William Rast show Wednesday night.

“It’s a biker girl, inspired by Bardot,” Charlotte Willer, Maybelline New York’s global makeup artist, said of the look she created backstage. “It’s very flawless skin and a strong eyebrow.”

To achieve the look, Willer applied Maybelline’s Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation to the skin and Define-A-Brow pencil to the brows. A number of eyebrow pencil shades were used — including light blonde, dark blonde, medium brown, dark brown and soft black — depending on the natural hue of a particular model’s brows.

Also, there was “a ton of mascara,” said Willer, who noted The Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara in Glam Black was used on top and bottom lashes. “The lashes are Sixties-inspired, so the mascara is heavy, heavy, heavy!”

There was “nothing” on the eyelids, said Willer, but the lips did get a nude-beige shade of Color Sensational Lipcolor created for the show. The lipstick was applied with the fingers for a soft, muted effect.

Continuing the biker girl theme on the hair side, Thomas Dunkin, who led the Sebastian Professional Stylist Design Team, did a messy, piecey, textured down do that was on the wild side.

“It’s a very undone, matte, sexy, full kind of thing,” he said. “It’s a dry, updated version of beach hair from a few years ago.”

Dunkin first “saturated” damp hair with Sebastian’s Volupt volumizing spray and twisted pieces of the hair into sections. Once the sections were blown dry, he sprayed on more Volupt “to make sure it dries in.” He teased the roots with his fingers to create volume and erratic texture and added Matte Putty, a soft, dry texturizer to the ends “to finish and free the ends.”

A lot of product was used, said Dunkin, “but it doesn’t look like it.” He noted that “this season, it seems like people are playing with texture rather than creating styles.”

Tommy Hilfiger

MAKEUP: Diane Kendal for MAC Cosmetics
NAILS: Priti NYC
SNAPSHOT: Collegiate Pretty

THE SCOOP: Tommy Hilfiger has established himself within the fashion world for his classic, American threads. And for Hilfiger's Fall 2010 Fashion Show, the designer wanted models to embody a preppy prettiness.

Diane Kendal created a blushing scholar look that was all about dewy skin with flushed cheeks and lips. "He wanted the makeup to have the feeling of being outside running in the rain, so I did cheeks that looked windburned," said Kendal.

To make the eyes appear as though they were glistening, she layered on a high gloss and skipped the mascara.

Manicurists from Priti NYC rounded out the look with a custom icy, taupe shade on the nails.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by MAC. Use light foundation where necessary. Contour underneath the eyes with Eye Pencil in Coffee and emphasize with a dark cream base. Line eyes with a black cream liner and layer Clear Gloss over entire lid. Fill in brows. Brush onto cheeks a mixture of Diva and Russian Red Lipsticks and Magic Magenta Lip Pencil, creating a small triangle in the center. Finish look by smoothing on Black Cherry Lipstick in the center of pout.

Wild Things at Unique
by Brid Costello
Posted Saturday February 20, 2010
From WWD.COM

“They’re savage woodland brownies,” said Hannah Murray of the makeup look she created for Unique, Topshop’s premium line. “They’re weathered and wild.”

Using products from Topshop’s makeup line, which will bow later this year, Murray used her fingers to apply Skin Tint and Skin Glow Dark all over the face.

She used white kohl on the inner rim of the eye and gold paint on the inner corer of the eye and down the bridge of the nose.

In keeping with the woodland theme, Murray stuck heavy animal-like brows to models’ faces. “We spent 10 hours making the eyebrows,” she said.

Hair, created by Paul Hanlon, who was working with Bumble and bumble, had a similarly savage bent.
“They’re like wild creatures of the forest,” said Hanlon, who tonged hair to create a dry wavy texture before brushing and backcombing.

He also worked disheveled plaits into some sections, which he then pulled apart to create clumps of messy hair. Strips of fake fur and animal-inspired hats completed the look.

Looking "Minimal" and "Natural" at Matthew Williamson
by Brid Costello
Posted Sunday February 21, 2010

James Kaliardos looked to the Nineties for inspiration at Matthew Williamson. “It’s very minimal and very natural,” said the makeup artist, who was working with L’Oréal Paris. “The skin is very important.”

Kaliardos applied L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Smoothing Resurfacing Primer and L’Oréal Paris True Match Touche Magique before using L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional High Definition Smoothing Brush Foundation to gently contour the face.

He also used L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Anti-Dull Skin Primer to add a subtle pink glow to cheeks.

An angled grey stripe across eyelids, created using a blend of hues from the L’Oréal Paris Colour Appeal Trio Pro Eye Shadow in Grey Obsession, added strength and depth to the look, according to Kaliardos.

He also used Studio Secrets Eyes Intensifier in Pink 321 on the inner corners of eyes and on cheeks, while lips were finished with a slick of gloss.

Meanwhile, Malcolm Edwards, who was working with L’Oréal Professionnel, worked hair into an updo. Starting with a ponytail, Edwards twisted sections of hair before looping and pinning them into place.

In some cases, the coif resembled tied-up shoelaces. He also teased hair at the front of the head.

He used L’Oréal Professionnel Play Ball Texture Tonic, L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.art Texture Expert Smooth Essence and L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.art Airfix to finish.

Madame Recamier Inspires Beauty at Kinder Aggugini
by Brid Costello
Posted Saturday February 20, 2010
From WWD.COM

Juliette Récamier, who hosted a salon in Paris and was exiled from the city by Napoleon, inspired beauty looks backstage at Kinder Aggugini.

“It’s about a strong woman,” said Pat McGrath of the makeup look she created for the show, adding she used grey hues around models’ eyes. “It gives more power.”

McGrath used Max Factor Earth Spirits Eye Shadow in Onyx, Angel Eyes and Pale Pebble, as well as Masterpiece Glide & Define Eyeliner. She used Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush in Soft Pink, while mouths had a purple hue.

Malcolm Edwards, who was working with L'Oréal Professionnel, also played with the notion of femininity with an edge.

After prepping hair with L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.art Hot Style Constructor and starting with a center parting, Edwards formed two ponytails before drawing them upwards and twisting them into several knots.

While hair was smooth at the front, Edwards worked a frizzy texture into the knots by teasing and using L'Oréal Professionnel Play Ball Texture Tonic. “It’s quite Tim Burton,” says Edwards.

Nails, meanwhile, were finished with a Nailgirls Matte Burgundy 1 polish. “Burgundy is a strong classic color and the matte finish gives it an edge and a harder feel,” said Lynda-Louise Burrell, founder of the London-based brand.
