SNAPSHOT: French fashion icons Catherine Deneuve and Bridget Bardot do Film Noir

THE SCOOP: In a collection that blends a palette of stark blacks and whites with a smattering of tweed gey and lots of chunky pearl jewelry, the beauty look at Vera Wang Fall 2010 was inspired by a darkly sexy Film Noir scene.

Eyes stole the show with Catherine Deneuve-like smoked out creases, while lips stayed kissably nude with a hydrated finish. Hair heralded Brigitte Bardot with lots of volume at the crown and a casually tousled, unfinished look.

"Vera specifically told me she wanted a clean, natural nail," said Leon-McCormack. Nails were a matte nude, with just a glean of lavender-grey color when light hit the surface at just the right angle.

GET THE LOOK MAKEUP - Cat eyes highlighted the face with black eyeliner smudged into the smoky silver grey shades from Eye Color Quad #205, which will launch in September. Lipst stayed lusciously nude with a yet-to-be-named nude lipstick that for now is referred to as T-5, and cheeks were warmed with Blush # 5, a subtle bronze shimmer.

GET THE LOOK HAIR - Paul treated hair with Thickening Hair Spray and applied Surf Spray to the ends for just-back-from-the-beach texture. The crown was then dramatically teased, and half the hair casually folded over itself and pinned for a weekend bedhead vibe.

GET THE LOOK NAILS - On nails, Leon-McCormack painted one coat of Powder Puff followed by Grey Suede for a subtle nail with just a hint of color. Top coat was skipped to maintain a matte finish.
