Hair
Channeling very old Hollywood glamour, Wella Professionals Celebrity Stylist Andy LeCompte gave Penelope 1950s Grace Kelly finger waves. Here’s how Andy suggests getting the look:

1. Start with dry hair and use a small amount of Wella Professionals Natural Volume Styling Mousse at the roots.

2. Set hair in steam hot rollers by rolling hair straight back from the head. This gives hair texture and curl. Use smaller rollers in the back to create a tighter curl, then pin hair underneath into a faux bob.

3. Lightly mist with Wella Professionals Dynamic Fix 45 Second Crafting Spray, then back comb and tease at the root. Brush out the finger waves into place and set with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray.

Runway Makeup: Chris Benz Fall 2012

Phyllis — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 00:41:25 +0000

To convey the idea of 1980′s Dolly Parton meets Liza Minnelli in Cabaret at Chris Benz A/W 2012 collection, lead makeup artist Daniel Martin working for Lancome created fresh, clean skin with shimmering eyes and soft tangerine lips.

First, Daniel blocked out the eyebrows so they wouldn’t compete with the eyeshadow. He did this by applying Elmer’s glue to the brows and topping it with a mix of concealer and powder. Daniel used Color Design Eyeshadow in All That Glitters and mixed it with the silver shade in Color Design 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palette in Violet Magnetique (available Fall 2012) and blended over the entire lid up to the brow. Two coats of Hypnôse Drama Mascara in Excessive Black gave the eye dimension.

After evening out the skin with Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation, Daniel used the contour color from the Blush Subtil Palette in Nectar Lace (available in July) just below the cheekbone and blended the highlighter color from above the cheekbone to the hairline.

To create the milky tangerine pout, he applied Rouge In Love in 307N Sweet Embrace and topped it with the peachy blush from the Blush Subtil palette. Juicy Tubes in Pure was added for a glossy finish. The complete look is “pretty but disheveled,” says Martin.

For the nails, manicurist Ana-Maria used three different polishes from the Vernis in Love collection: 407N Gris Angora, a grayish-purple shade, 585N Noir Caviar, a dark-gray-almost-black shade and 270N Chocolat Mordore, a deep brown shade. The two gray shades were topped with a matte finish and the chocolate shade was finished with a glossy topcoat.

Runway Makeup: Vampy Smoky Eye and Pale Lip at L’Wren Scott Fall 2012

Phyllis — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:38:04 +0000

Inspired by well-known vamp Theda Bara, Lancôme’s Artistic Director for Makeup Aaron De Mey created a smoky eye, contoured cheeks, lots of highlight and pale matte lips for L’Wren Scott A/W 2012.

How To
Aaron evened out the skin with Teint Miracle Lit-from-Within Foundation before applying Éclat Miracle Illuminator to the top of the cheeks, nose, Cupid’s bow and around the hair line. He then contoured the cheek bone with the contour shade from Blush Subtil Palette in Nectar Lace (available in July 2012).

For the eyes, Aaron applied navy blue eyeliner (Le Stylo Waterproof Eyeliner in Minuit) to the crease and along the lash line, topped it with an inky blue eyeshadow (Color Design Eyeshadow in Garment) and blended it all for a smoky look. A dab of Juicy Tubes in Pure, just on the lids, made the eye makeup look worn.

Finally, the lips were muted with a dab of Effacernes Concealer.

Phyllis — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:53:59 +0000

Inspired by Elettra Wiedemann, Lancôme National Makeup Artist Tarek Abbas created “enhanced natural beauty” for designer Monika Chiang’s debut NY Fashion Week A/W 2012 presentation.

Face
Tarek wanted the models’ skin to be flawless with a healthy glow. He evened out their skin with Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation (available March 2012), contoured the cheeks using the new Blush Subtil Palette in Nectar Lace – #126 (available July 2012) and swept bronzer around the hairline and chin.

Eyes
He mixed Color Design Eyeshadows in Vintage and Chic to create a subtle wash of color around the eyes and defined the eyes with Le Stylo Waterproof Eyeliner in Café, a dark brown eyeliner, before carefully smudging and blending it. One coat of Définicils Mascara in Brown created natural-looking lashes.

Lips
Tarek applied Rouge In Love in Lasting Kiss with his finger and pressed the color onto the lips to pump up the model’s natural lip color.

Nails
Vernis in Love Nail Polish in Crystal Quartz – #010M were used on the nails.
