Fall 2009 Fashion Week - Backstage with Badgley Mischka

2/17/2009 6:30PM by Phebe Hunnicutt

SHOW: Badgley Mischka
MAKEUP: Tom Pecheux for M.A.C
HAIR: Peter Gray for Redken
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Elegant and Chic

THE SCOOP:
Tom Pecheux inspiration came straight from the brand, "it really is about the Badgley Mischka woman. When you see a Badgley Mischka dress you just know, you don't have to see the tag. The woman should be the same." With that in mind he created a cocktail look for a young woman "who loves luxury and beauty, who is elegant and sophisticated, but isn't flashy." To start, create a matte finish skin and then cover the eyelid in a deep blue shimmery shade of eyeshadow. Next lightly dusk a gold shadow across the lid and under the eye. Then apply mascara to the top lashed leaving the bottom plain. Finally a subtle dusk of rose on the cheek bones and a lavender lip gloss rounds out the makeup.

The theme for the show? "Badgley Mischka meets Blade Runner, at least for me," said hairstylist Peter Gray. "What I tried to do was add a bit of a futuristic flare to this traditional red carpet brand." The look is actually rather easy to do, put the shaper (basically a doughnut shaped brillo pad) around your hair and then slide it to the tip, then simply roll up and pin. Once the hair is in position apply a generous amount to hairspray to help it stay put. While the shape is simple Gray cautions it shouldn't been done with clean hair. "When you wash your hair it is very slippery. To really make this work let it get a bit dirty so it grips."
