THE SCOOP: Designer Adam Lippes' Fall 2010 fashion show was filled with aviator-inspired layers including shearling jackets and knit sweaters in rich earth tones, and the hair and makeup followed suit with an urban traveler appeal.
Influenced by the textures and fabrics in the collection, Rudi Lewis created a woven braid hairstyle with a touch of rock and roll. "I wanted the hair to have texture as well but tougher," said Lewis. "So, I pulled in the sides really tight and folded underneath the crown for a loose Mohawk."
Romey Soleimani carried out this warrior element bringing in earth tone shades to the face. "Adam's collection has all these beautiful grays and then there was this one section that had rust and natural leather colors, so we're playing with those but softer."
Celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann rounded out the look with Fashion Week favorite, Fashion, nail lacquer.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All products by Redken. Generously apply Spray Starch 15 to locks and blowdry to enhance natural texture. Smooth sides, leaving front slightly raised to mimic a Mohawk and gather into a loose fishtail braid. Finish with Workforce 09 and gently brush to allow a few strands to fly freely.
GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All products by MAC. Create a soft cat eye by layering Eye Shadow in Cork and working in Fluidline in Rich Ground. Heavily coat lashes in Studio Brown Studio Fix Lash Mascara. Fill in and brush brows outward for an edgy look. Brush cheeks with Mineralize Blush in Laguna. Highlight right below the lash line, upper tempo, chin and bridge of nose with Cream Colour Base in Pearl. Conceal lip and top with a nude cream base. And finish look by matting down the T-zone.
