Ralph Lauren: Glamorous Glow
The roaring twenties inspired the twinkly eyes and rose-petal blush at Ralph Lauren. Makeup artist Tom Pecheux used a matte white eye shadow from eyelid to brow bone, topped off with coat after coat of black mascara. On the cheeks, he swept an apricot blush over the apples, adding a dusting of pink in the center to create a candle-lit glow. A gold lip gloss provided the final, dazzling finish.
Naeem Kahn: Strong Brows With Subtle Lips
The way to wear a bold brow—which is definitely the direction to go in this spring—is with a soft, neutral lip, says James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry. Here, he went with a nude-toned pencil and lipstick finished with a sparkling champagne beige gloss (NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Gold Digger to be exact).
Calvin Klein is nothing if not consistent, keeping with a style that’s pure, natural, and stunning. “This look is supposed to appear as if each girl was just wearing her hair naturally. It’s very Calvin Klein,” said Redken Creative Consultant Guido, who prepped strands with Redken Nature's Rescue Radiant Sea Spray and took a 1-inch curling iron on very straight hair to create a slight bend that looked “as if there was none,” he told us.
Proenza Schouler: Wet Texture
Doing a perfect version of dwey, disheveled hair, stylist Paul Hanlon misted a wave spray through strands, back combed them with spray wax, then pulled everything into a messy knot, letting pieces go in wayward directions.
Phillip Lim: Eyes That Pop
“It’s inner rebel mixed with sophisticated youth,” said Francelle, NARS National Makeup Artist, of the powerful, metallic round crease she created at Phillip Lim. Stroke on NARS Paris Duo Eyeshadow with an angled brush, working from the inner corners out, following the shape of your brow to create some major eye impact.
Oscar de la Renta: Elegant Frizz
Fancy frizz hair took a glamorous spin down the runway at Oscar de la Renta, where lead hairstylist Orlando Pita worked his magic to create the perfect crinkled texture. He started by wrapping small sections of strands into tight pin curls and letting everything dry. Then he brushed out hair to achieve the desired level of elegant pouf.
Marc by Marc Jacobs: Tucked Under Pony
The ponytail-meets-bun look at Marc Jacobs created serious buzz in the beauty press. To achieve it, sweep hair back high and off the face (no part necessary). Flip the ponytail forward and pin with a thin clip about two inches from the base. Then flip the ponytail back down toward the nape of the neck and secure with a second clip to create the playful bump.
This striking, smokey blue eye owes its beauty to Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night," which is what lead artist James Kaliardos for NARS Cosmetics had in mind backstage. For a likeness of the original, layer on gradations of rich blue, staring with Dark Rite Soft Touch Shadow Pencil (new for Spring 2012; for now, try Rue Saint Honore Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner) on the upper and lower lash lines, followed by a wash of Night Flight Single Eyeshadow rounded above the creases and topped with Tropic Single Eyeshadow for subtle sparkle.
For a touch of whimsy, NARS Director of Global Artistry James Boehmer played with pastels at Creatures Of The Wind. But he didn’t go too far. Instead, he just applied a thin streak of blue above the crease and skirted a pink-y melon along the lower lash line. The overall look: carefree with an element of cool restraint.
Bright orange-red lipstick made a stunning appearance at Jason Wu, painted on by the expert hand of makeup artist Diane Kendal. Her inspiration was pop art, which she brilliantly illustrated by lining lips with a vivid scarlet pencil and lipstick, topped off with a finger-smudge of neon orange loose pigment for extra zing. Since the latter isn’t easy to find beyond the kits of professional makeup artists, a pat of concentrated coral eye shadow works as a suitable substitution in your palette.
