Proenza Schouler
Makeup: Diane Kendal
Hair: Paul Hanlon

Nails: Shari Gottesman for Perfect Formulas

THE LOOK:
MAKEUP: If Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez were influenced by the work of modernist architect Pietro Belluschi for spring, then models’ spare, well-constructed faces, too, were a masterful study in form. “There’s a bit of a starkness to it,” Diane Kendal said of the squared-off, structural brows and softly sculpted cheekbones. “But it’s still that Proenza idea of something androgynous and also quite sexy.”

HAIR: “We looked at a lot of pictures of Elvis before the show. There’s a bit of a Teddy Boy thing going on with the hair, but it’s more organic, more deconstructed than that,” said Paul Hanlon, referencing the distinctive hairstyle embraced by the British 1950s rock ’n’ roll subculture. “Masculine-feminine. It’s almost like her dad went out for the night and she grabbed his old barbershop comb and went at her hair.” The shiny, slightly wet texture nodded to the gleaming finish of the designers’ ladylike eel-skin skirts, belts, and gloves.

THE TOOLS:
MAKEUP: With a lineup of major faces in the mix—Karolina Kurkova and Liya Kebede amongst them—Kendal’s job was made easier. She dabbed M.A.C. Pro Longwear Concealer only where needed, then filled in the brows with an assortment of M.A.C. pencils and powders. “We’re just matching the girls’ own coloring, and making the shape slightly square, which is more boyish,” she said. Afterward, she dusted a soft taupe contour powder (M.A.C. Bone Beige Sculpting Powder) along the hollows of the cheeks. To keep the skin looking healthy, she finished by swirling a barely there haze of soft pink and peach (M.A.C. Powder blush in Immortal Flower and Love Cloud) onto the cheeks. “That’s it!” she exclaimed. “No mascara, no liner, just a dab of clear lip balm at the end.”

HAIR: "There’s an organic, deconstructed quality to the hair," said Hanlon, who doused it with Fekkai COIFF Océanique Tousled Wave Spray to give it a weathered texture. After working the company’s Coiff NonChalant Piecing & Foaming Wax onto the crown, he melted the product with the heat of a blow-dryer, and then raked a wide tooth comb through it. The effect,” said Hanlon, was to create “these prolonged grooves on the side of the head. It’s very groomed,” he said, before tying the ends into an undone, pulled-apart knot.

NAILS: Models’ clean, natural nails were a quiet compliment to the lineup of brightly colored raffia crewneck sweaters and circle skirts. Only a small handful of girls—Julia Nobis and Elsa Sylvan amongst them—got a coat of manicurist Shari Gottesman’s yellow polish in Pollen. “Bright but neutral, which is a hard balance to strike,” she said. “It’s meant to pick up on the saturated yellow and orange tones of the collection and in the bags.”

Makeup: Diane Kendal
Hair: Odile Gilbert

THE LOOK:

MAKEUP: Designer Thakoon Panichgul was inspired by both cowboys and the colorful looks worn by women in India for his richly patterned spring collection. “The makeup has the cowboy influence,” said Diane Kendal. This meant a tough brow—“not arched, but straight and quite masculine,” with minimal color on the face, except for a flush of pink on the apples of the cheeks. “The pink connects well to the colors in the collection and in the hair without being too dramatic,” Kendal said.

THE HAIR: The backstage area at the Plaza Hotel’s Grand Ballroom resembled an art room where students might have been spray-painting. “Don’t get too close!” warned an animated Odile Gilbert, holding up two blue hands. Anyone who did risked inhaling a cloud of clay powder she was peppering onto models’ heads. “Thakoon wanted color in the hair,” she explained. And color he got—blue, green, lilac, terra-cotta, and bright pink in different combinations on each girl’s textured bob (which was actually a variation of two French braids Gilbert pulled back and tucked into a messy chignon to create “the illusion of short hair”).

THE TOOLS:

ON SKIN: “Nothing too shiny,” Kendal said, applying quick, downward brush strokes on the apples of models’ cheeks with NARS blush in Gaiety, a poppy new color for spring. A light dusting on the temples of the company’s bronzer in Laguna offered a touch of shimmer over the Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer.

ON EYES: Kendal applied the ecru portion of NARS’ Eyeshadow Duo in Portobello to the inner creases of the eyes and buffed the color out to create a subtle smoky effect. (She used a lighter shade, Blondie, for very fair-skinned models.) Then, she softly traced a rich chocolate-brown shadow, NARS Matte Eyeshadow in Bengali, under the bottom lash-line. Using a small shaping brush, she shaded eyebrows with a neutral taupe, NARS Matte Eyeshadow in Bali.

ON LIPS: Kendal kept lips simple, adding a dot of lip balm over sheer beige pencil, NARS’ Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Belle de Jour.

ON HAIR: Gilbert has been using colored clay (specifically: a multipurpose organic clay powder, otherwise used as an ingestible stomach remedy) in her hair creations for years. For today’s show, she shipped a range of colors over from France, which she used to color the untidy chignons. First, to prep her canvas, she sprayed hair with Kérastase Volume Expansion Spray and worked in VolumActive Mousse to create a crunchy texture that would hold the powder. She dusted the loose powder into the intricately braided styles, and then, with a paintbrush, went over it with color of a different shade, which she had mixed with water to create a paste. “People always want to know, ‘Where is the drama?’ ” she said, paintbrush in hand. “Well, we have to wash all of this off after!” At the ready, postshow: rows of Kérastase Nutrative and Resistance shampoos and treatment masks.

NAILS: Thakoon’s India-inspired collection called for a premium gold on fingernails—“but not flashy,” said manicurist Kim D’Amato. One coat of NARS polish in Versailles did the trick.

Vera Wang
Makeup: Lucia Pieroni
Hair: Orlando Pita

​

At Vera Wang, Lucia Pieroni’s inspiration for the makeup came from “an uptown girl who just got back from a desert music festival,” which translated to a dusty, free-spirited look.

Pieroni, working with Clé de Peau at the show, applied Clé de Peau Cream Foundation to the skin. Next, she applied light and medium brown shades from her spring 2012 Eye Color Quad all around the eye and on the brow bone, growing lighter near the brow bone. She skipped mascara, but curled lashes. Next, Pieroni applied Luminizing Face Enhancer in Gold on the cheekbones and nose, and finished with Honey Nuts Enriched Lip Luminizer, a pale caramel, on the lips.

Orlando Pita, working with Spirulina by Byron Williams products, wanted a “simple, organic beauty who looks like she just got out of the water.” To achieve this, he made a middle part, brushed hair and pinned it at the nape, finishing with hair spray and plenty of serum to the bottom part of the hair to make it appear wet

Derek Lam
Makeup: Tom Pecheux
Hair: Orlando Pita

​

Richard Neutra’s modernistic architecture provided the inspiration for the beauty looks at Derek Lam’s runway show on Sunday.

“We wanted to translate that architectural vibe into the makeup, with a California-meets-East Coast finish,” said Tom Pecheux, working for Estée Lauder at the show (he is also Lauder’s creative makeup director.) How to translate that? A striking eye design. To start, Pecheux used Lauder’s Double Wear Concealer Stay-in-Place Flawless Wear Concealer SPF 10, launching in March, to provide a flawless canvas. He followed with Pure Color blush in a pink hue, launching in February, as well as the limited edition Gelée Bronzer. Next came the eye design: the yellow shadow from a Pure Color EyeShadow Palette that will launch in January, complemented by Pure Color Cyber Eyes Collection shades in Cyber Copper and Cyber Green. Pecheux added Sumptous Extreme Mascara in Extreme Copper, then applied Pure Color Gloss in Citron Kiss, a pale gold, to the lips. He finished with a dusting of Lucidity Translucent Powder.

Jin Soon Choi, also working for Estée Lauder at the show, polished nails in Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Nude Attitude, a shade only available in select international markets, not including the U.S.

Orlando Pita, working with T3 and Phyto for Beauty.com at the show, interpreted Neutra for the hair with a side part and a ponytail — “simple, organic lines,” he explained. Pita made his side part, then used Phyto’s Volum Actif mousse, Phyto 7 Leave-In Conditioner and a T3 Featherweight Luxe for sheen and control. Next came T3’s Single Pass flatiron to make hair ruler-straight. Pita then spritzed hair with Phyto Professional Workable Holding Spray and pulled hair back into a low ponytail, finishing with Phyto Professional Shine Defining Wax.

Nicole Miller
Makeup: James Kaliardos
Hair: Kevin Ryan

​

For Nicole Miller’s spring collection, James Kaliardos, lead artist for MAC Cosmetics, channeled the early Eighties and effortlessly glam stars like Lauren Hutton. “It’s healthy and beautiful, darling,” said Kaliardos, who a used a “reddish brown” shade from MAC’s not-yet-launched Pro Palette in Cup of Joe to create a “warm smoky” eye, by smudging it into the creases and lower lash lines. He then defined top lashes with Opulash Optimum Mascara. “It’s about being put together but natural,” said Kaliardos. Cheeks were “sunken out à la Faye Dunaway,” with blush being applied “low” on the face and slightly “off-center.” Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Nice ’n’ Spicy was then applied on the entire lip and Lip Conditioner SPF 15 was dabbed on to keep things feeling fresh. “It’s completely the opposite of dark or dead,” said Kaliardos. “It’s a girl who just went running, or is returning from a safari.”

Hair, styled by Kevin Ryan for Rsession Tools, was “simple” and had a “careless” feeling. The style featured a “slight bend” in the front, created with the help of a large-barreled curling iron, and ends were left straight. “The slight curl opens up the face,” said Ryan, who used plenty of Oribe Dry Texture spray throughout for an undone finish and “loose, gentle feel. It’s a young girl who doesn’t overtry,” added Ryan.

Edun
Makeup: Lloyd Simmonds
Hair: Laurent Philippon

​

“She’s a really cool girl that has traveled,” said Laurent Philippon, for Bumble and bumble, of this season’s inspiration. “Her hair looks like she’s been in the sun.” For Philippon, this translated into a modern straight hairstyle that was structured but soft. He began by massaging through hair a mixture of Bumble and bumble Prep, a conditioning spray, and Bumble and bumble Surf, a spray that mattifies and texturizes hair. After drying hair, Philippon took big sections and backcombed softly before using a flatiron. He emphasized how softly hair was teased, this adding to the “blurriness” and softness of the potentially dry-looking and “rock and roll” style. “She’s still a normal girl,” he explained, “she’s still beautiful. People will still want to be her.” To set the style, Philippon used Does It All, the lightest hair spray of the line.

For this “surfer goddess,” Lloyd Simmonds, for MAC Cosmetics, created a beauty look centered on “gorgeous skin that is fresh, fresh, fresh.” Skin was meant to look as though it was flushed from wind and sun exposure, and this “healthy glow” was achieved with MAC Cremeblend Blush in a combination of pinks, Brit Wit and Posie, on the places of the face where the sun would hit — anywhere from temples to cheekbones to the bridge of the nose. For that highlighted wet look, Simmonds used MAC Cream Colour Base in a mix of neutral shades Shell and Hush and to the eyes he applied his own creation of gold and metallic pigments mixed with a shine base for a “wet sparkly” look. MAC Lustre Drops were also used around the eyes to add to the luminous, sun-kissed look. Brown mascara was swept through lashes lightly to keep the look natural, and brows were kept clean but given a layer of concealer to give the impression of sea salt stuck in the hair.

Badgley Mischka
Makeup: Tom Pecheux
Hair: Peter Gray

​

Aiming for a glamorous woman with a manic side, i.e., Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Rita Hayworth, beauty at Badgley Mischka took on several roles. Hair, by Peter Gray for Moroccanoil, was a dramatic and multitextured updo, channeling the volume and shape of sculptor Umberto Boccioni with tousled texture seen on Taylor in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” To get the bold look, Gray separated hair in two sections, front and back, and created a textured French twist in the back using a blend of Moroccanoil Frizz Control and Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream. Hair at the front of the head was set into tight curls and when released, tresses were sculpted and shaped with a wide-tooth comb into a flowing triangular shape and secured to the top of the French twist. Makeup, by Tom Pecheux for MAC, focused on glamour with strong bold brows, green metallic shadow swept beyond corners of eyes like wings and coral matte lips. Pecheux gave each model a beauty mark as a final touch. Nails by Deborah Lippmann were polished with Glamorous Life, a smooth satin pink inspired by a rose gold Rolex, which is due in salons this winter.

Helmut Lang
Makeup: Lisa Butler
Hair: Paul Hanlon

​

"If you really think about makeup, all you're doing is blending. Airbrush is a lot quicker!" Cory Bishop explained about the show's Temptu-applied makeup. The look, designed by Lisa Butler, was "sporty chic" and barely noticeable (in a good way!). The eyebrows were the strongest feature, with each model getting a blonde touch-up, no matter the shade of her natural brows. "It's making the eyebrow more of an accessory—make them the color you want them to be."

Rodarte
Makeup: James Kaliardos
Hair: Odile Gilbert
Nails: Deborah Lippmann

​

by Catherine Piercy

THE LOOK:

MAKEUP: Kate and Laura Mulleavy’s spring collection was a meditation on the work of Vincent van Gogh. It’s little surprise then that makeup artist James Kaliardos’ rounded midnight-blue lids seemed plucked from the landscape of the painter’s Starry Night. For lips and cheeks, he drew from a post-Impressionist palette of soft peaches and lavenders instead. “It’s dreamy and aggressive, all in the same moment,” he said.

HAIR: “Sweet sixteen!” proclaimed hairstylist Odile Gilbert from the light-filled backstage area, located across the street from Rodarte’s show space at the Pace Gallery. Indeed, the soft, brushed-out waves she created—rolled and pinned neatly just to one side of the face—conjured the fleeting innocence of girlhood birthday parties and 1950s Sadie Hawkins dances.


THE TOOLS:

EYES: To create an inky, saturated cloud of color around the eye, Kaliardos blended a pair of highly pigmented cobalt and teal pigments together (NARS eye shadows in Night Flight and Tropic, respectively) before swirling them around the eye with a brush. “The shape is circular, which is very van Gogh, and soft around the edges,” he said.

CHEEKS: Models rushing into the backstage area were already amply flushed from sprinting three flights up to the balmy backstage area. The makeup artist tweaked their rosy-cheeked glow to a subtle shade of peach, instead, using NARS Penny Lane blush from the apples of the cheeks all the way to temples.

LIPS: Kaliardos’ muted lavender lips were a study in color theory: He patted the same peach-toned cream blush onto the lips, then dabbed a shimmering mauve cream shadow (NARS Eye Shadow in Pearl Beach) on top before finishing with a sheer dab of grape-colored gloss (NARS Lip Gloss in Nana).

HAIR: “It’s very . . . soft,” said Gilbert, emphasizing the word as she worked Kérastase Volumactive mousse through the hair, and then blew it smooth. After adding a hint of wave with a wide-barrel curling iron, she brushed it all out to create a fluffy “cloud” effect. To finish, she twisted the hair back off the face into a roll, creating a slightly retro ridge at the crown before pinning it into place with a hidden hair comb.

NAILS: Models’ sapphire-colored fingertips twinkled subtly in the light—thanks to Lippmann’s glitter-flecked formula. “We started working on the nails weeks ago,” said the manicurist, who spiked her existing Lady Sings The Blues polish with an extra dose of flashing silver and graphite flakes at the Mulleavys’ request. For toes, to keep things focused on those silver-mirror abstract-star sandals, she used a flesh-toned neutral. “It’s just an extension of the skin,” she said.

Vivienne Tam
Makeup: Andy Koh
Hair: Leon Gorman

​

For Vivienne Tam’s collection inspired by the impeccable and minimal Japanese Garden, Leon Gorman for Cutler/Redken created a very natural, “fresh” look. Locks were revived with dry shampoo and then spritzed with Redken Fashion Worth 12 hair spray, given a deep side part, and pulled back into a simple, messy knot, meant to look “like [the models] have done it themselves.” “I don’t want it to look like a hairdresser has touched it,” he said.

The beauty looked conceived by Andy Koh for Maybelline was a marriage of clean “natural, dewy” faces with Seventies retro glamour. On the skin he used Maybelline Fit Me foundation in two tones: a lighter shade on the t-zone and cheekbones to highlight and a darker one on the cheeks and jawline to “bring out the natural shape of the face,” a look he said would make faces pop on the runway. Keeping with the spirit of the Seventies, Koh then used Maybelline Eye Studio Color Plush Silk eye shadow in gold and green metallics on the lid and defined with copper in the crease. For clean and natural-looking voluminous lashes, Koh wiped the wand before applying Maybelline Volum’Express The Falsies mascara. Giving the models a “clean and girly, not doll-y” pout, as he described it, Koh first primed lips with gold cream shadow and then applied Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Lipstick in Coral Lustre, topping off the look with Shine Sensational Lip Gloss in Minty Sheer.

Jill Stuart
Makeup: Diane Kendal
Hair: Odile Gilbert

​

“It’s a little bit Seventies,” said Diane Kendal about the beauty look she created backstage at Jill Stuart.

With the bright and colorful collection in mind, Kendal kept things “ethereal” and “dreamy.” She left skin matte and clean, highlighting cheekbones with apricot- and lilac-hued blush from the Jill Stuart Beauty Mix Blush Compact in Milky Strawberry. Eyes were soft and smoky, lined with black eye pencil and lightly smudged cream liner. Top and bottom lashes were accentuated with black mascara. Kendal then swept a deep brown cream shadow in the crease of the eyes for soft definition. Lips had “just a hint of a color,” primed first with foundation and then given a dusting of MAC Powder Pigment in Red Electric or Neo Orange. The result was a “bright-toned” face.

Hair by Odile Gilbert for Kérastase was of an equally soft and youthful tousled style. To achieve it, Gilbert first massaged Kérastase Mousse Volumactive throughout hair and sprayed Kérastase Lotion Densitive to the ends for added texture and body. She scrunched hair and blow-dried lightly for loose, beachy waves, which she then parted deeply on the side, swept across the forehead, twisted and pinned back to give the illusion of side-swept bangs. “It is teenage, youthful, but sexy,” said Gilbert, who also braided small pieces of hair to coyly peek out from the messy dos. To set the style, she sprayed Kérastase Double Force Hair Spray. It’s a “day or night” style, Gilbert explained, inspired by playful young women with a natural but “fixed” look.

Nails, Yuna Park


THE LOOK:

MAKEUP: “Diane was inspired by new beginnings,” said James Kaliardos, who looked to “the regal beauty of African women”—as well as the rich, earthy tones of the continent’s striking landscapes—when dreaming up his softly shaded, supernatural face.

HAIR: Orlando Pita’s teased, textured sixties-esque chignons, which looked right with the designer’s bold, colorful prints and signature wrap dresses, “started out rustic and ended up looking more like Kim Novak, which wasn’t a bad thing,” he said. “It just worked.”

THE TOOLS:

MAKEUP: Kaliardos dipped into more than eleven tone-on-tone neutrals—varying shades of M.A.C. Cream Colour Base in pink, taupe, mustard, caramel, and peach spread out along a makeshift artist’s palette—to contour eyes and cheeks according to each model’s skin tone. He finished with a swipe of mascara but left the lips bare.

HAIR: Pita whipped hair into an airy froth using T3’s Plump Dryer Volumizer. After teasing it and twisting it into an oversize chignon, he pinned everything into place and misted it lightly with the company’s Control hair spray.

NAILS: “It’s incredibly simple,” said Park. “Buffed, clean fingers and two coats of clear polish on the toes.”

Makeup, Wendy Rowe for Burberry
Hair, Neil Moodie for Bumble and Bumble

THE LOOK
MAKEUP: “It’s back to the classic Burberry girl,” said Wendy Rowe. Fresh, fun, and natural, with a youthful English rose palette.

HAIR: “With so much handcrafted detail in the collection, I didn’t want the hair to overpower the clothes,” said Neil Moodie. “It’s the kind of lightly tousled hair that’s supposed to look completely effortless and unassuming.”

THE TOOLS
ON SKIN: Rowe combined Burberry Foundation with the company’s Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base to give the skin an extra healthy boost.

ON EYES: She blended soft neutral eye shades, like Burberry’s Pearl Barley, gently under the brow for an effect that was more earthy than smoky.

ON LIPS: A sheer coating of Burberry’s new spring nude: Pink Tulip.

HAIR: To prevent hair from looking dry or flyaway, Moodie sprayed Bumble and Bumble Thickening spray from the roots to the tips before drying it with a diffuser. He wrapped sections of hair twice around the barrel of a large curling iron to add movement. Sometimes those waves were tucked inside the collar of a coat; other times they feathered the face.

Hair, Charles Worthington

THE LOOK
MAKEUP: Erdem’s muse had the look of love this season. “It’s that beautiful, soft, glowing summer skin and velvety rose-petal mouth,” said Andrew Gallimore.

HAIR: South of France chic, with a high, swinging ponytail.

THE TOOLS
ON SKIN: Gallimore swept M.A.C. Face and Body Foundation across the face, avoiding the cheeks, which he dabbed with a lick of M.A.C. Tender Tone lip balm in Hot n’ Spicy, for a glistening, dewy look.

ON EYES: Gallimore left the eyes bare except for a single stroke of Plush Lash mascara in Plushblack. He achieved a tomboyish ruffled brow with a clear coat of Brow Set.

ON LIPS: Gallimore blotted M.A.C.’s lipstick in Scarlet Ibis, a new shade of tomato red, on both upper and lower lips for a blurry line.

ON BODY: St. Tropez’s Nichola Joss lightly bronzed models’ skin (the desired effect was “a washed-out tan”), and then went over the color with two custom illuminating creams—one in silver, the other in blue—created especially for Erdem’s show. The silver worked as a highlighter while the blue added subtle radiance.

HAIR: Worthington used his Front Row volumizing spray to give hair some elegant oomph at the root. Wispy strands of hair softly framed the face.

Mary Katrantzou
Makeup: Val Garland

Metallic Mouths, Backstage At Mary Katrantzou
September 21, 2011

We’re halfway through the Spring season, and already a few overlying makeup trends have started to crop up from New York to London. Aside from monochromatic color palettes and bold brows, we’ve also noticed a preference for metallic pigments backstage (see Lim, Phillip and Herchcovitch, Alexandre) as well as a bright array of mismatched lip colors (see Lepore, Nanette; Chai, Richard; and Kirchhoff, Meadham). Yesterday at Mary Katrantzou, makeup artist Val Garland managed to get both into one seriously statement pout. “It’s a chaos of color,” Garland said of Katrantzou’s eye-popping prints, which inspired her to incorporate her own dose of full-on flair with eight different custom-blended lip colors. Referencing “smashed-up cars,” Garland prepped mouths with MAC Paintstick in White to create a muted base for a range of the brand’s multipurpose Pigments. Onto a flawless complexion, Garland then pressed applications of Aire, a blue foil; Acid Orange, a sparkling neon mandarin; Electric Coral, a glitter-flecked melon; Chartreuse, a glistening light green; Teal; Old Gold; Rose; and Violet powders onto mouths to create a matte focal point on the face. We’re not sure that Katrantzou’s exceptional fabrics need any help by way of more vividness (a nude mouth would have suited us just fine), but there’s nothing wrong with a “more is more” approach every once in a while.

[Psylocke]

Thank you so much for this thread and all the great posts. Looks like the big make up trends for next season are both a super natural look and lots of funky & soft colors. I must say I like both trends. I do like dark and dramatic make up in editorials and on the runway but can never find an occasion to try it myself, but all the looks in this thread look like they can be pulled off for everyday, except for maybe the turquoise lips
I agree that the eye make up at Michael van der Ham is completely gorgeous I'm going to try that look this weekend
