THE SCOOP: Betsey Johnson consistently churns out fun and flirty fashions - full of bright colors, textures and patterns. But for her Fall 2010 fashion show, the beauty team took a slight turn into the Wild Wild West with amped ponytails and gritty, yet softer makeup.

Lead makeup artist Sarah Lucero introduced the "first nude lip" to a Johnson show. "In past seasons, we've seen red, black and shimmer, but the inspiration came from Brigitte Bardot," said Lucero. "You'll see a cowboy theme with this ideal of a dirty, dusty, yet confident woman. The skin is very matte, lips are very pale and the intensity is in the eyes. I mean who doesn't want to look like Bardot? I do!"

Thomas Dunkin added his personal touch with super voluminous strands. "We bunched up the ponytails for a country girl-esque look," he said. "It's fun and flirtatious and looks even better when the girls get dressed and mess it up.

Manicurists from Butter London rounded out hair and makeup by painting models fingernails and toenails in a mushroom-gray lacquer for a more refined look than we're using to seeing at a Betsey Johnson fashion show.
