SHOW: Tracy Reese
MAKEUP: Charlotte Willer for Maybelline New York
HAIR: Erin Anderson for TRESemme
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Understated glamour

THE SCOOP:
Both the hair and makeup artist simply chatted to the designer to create the beauty look for Tracy Reese. "We made up a girl in our heads, it's fantasy, who is this girl, what is she doing, what does she look like?" explains hairstylist Erin Anderson. The result? Soft and feminine makeup and a romantic tumble of curls secured with a simple barrette at the base of the neck. For her part, lead makeup artist Charlotte Willer explained "Tracy wanted to have a fresh look with an understated elegance. To show that we created a strong eyebrow, soft brown eyes, a pink cheek and nude-ish lip." To recreate this girly glow curl your lashes and apply a generous amount of mascara and then work on the lip and the brow. Willer says you should dab on the lipstick like it was a stain instead of applying it directly from the tube. To get the brows right "start with a pencil and then afterword use a brush to blend. If you really want them to settle in, use a brush to swipe a powder across the brow." As for the luscious tumble of curls, hairstylist Erin Anderson says it is an "easy style. There is no brushing involved, the only precision is the straight middle parting. Otherwise it's rough dried with your hands to increase body and texture. It's curled with a curling iron in random sections, it's not uniform at all."
