Backstage at Marchesa, the NARS Cosmetics team was on makeup, Deborah Lippmann was on nails, and Renato Campora on hair for Fekkai.
The hair was slick, elegant yet trendy. Campora mixed the Fekkai Coiff Extra Control Styling Gel with the Fekkai Coiff Strong Hold Volume Mousse to slick hair into a ponytail in the middle of the back of the head. He then wrapped the ponytail into a tight bun. To keep this looking modern, he wanted the hair to have a wet, shine to it, so he set it with Sheer Hold Hairspray and finished with Glossing Sheer Shine Mist.
Makeup was inspired by the overall collection, which had a Madame Butterfly and Tattoo uniqueness to it. This look was groomed, sexy, but not overtly sexy. The skin was illuminated with Sheer Glow foundation and Luxor Multiple new for spring 2010. Cheeks were done in Penny Lane Cream blush for sheer, see-through color and eyes were highlighted with Nepal single shadow and All About Eve Duo, then defined with the new Larger than Life Mascara.
I love the creative process that goes into a fashion show. Makeup artists, hair stylists and fashion designers are always looking for little details to turn their presentations into a real show. It's what makes the runway, the runway! Here at Marchesa, NARS used differently colored feathers to give the models a more winged effect on their lashes.
Nails were finished by Deborah Lippmann with one of her most requested colors by top designers: 'Fashion'. Similar to hair, it was taking something classic--a neutral nail--and making it more modern. That's exactly what "Fashion" is all about.
