MAKEUP: Sarah Lucero for Stila
HAIR: Peter Lennon for Privé
SNAPSHOT: Parisian Sweetheart

THE SCOOP: Rebecca Minkoff has established a following within the fashion world for her feminine, yet structured designs filled with extraordinary detail. And the hair and makeup team accentuated Minkoff's Fall 2010 collection with looks that were girly without trying too hard.

Inspired by the effortless style of Parisian women, Peter Lennon created two different hairstyles consisting of a top bun and long, textured locks. "Rebecca's style is very fresh, very sexy and young. So I wanted to create looks that weren't forced," said Lennon. "It looks done, but isn't done."

Sarah Lucero carried out this chic theme with the makeup drawing influence from French bombshell, Brigitte Bardot. She wanted the models to look as though they had "just been out in the cold." Lucero translated this with flushed cheeks, "kind of bitten" stained lips and lush lashes.

Très magnifique!
