THE SCOOP: Victor de Souza is known for blending fantasy with Audrey Hepburn-esque femininity, and his beauty look for Fall 2010 reaches new levels of creativity with a vision of alien invaders from another planet.

Black contacts eerily transformed models' eyes into large pools of blinking black, while white geisha-like powder paled-out their complexions. Lips stayed a neutral pink.

Hair was swept up into a top-of-the-head bushy chignon, which created an other-worldly shape to the face. "It's alien chic!" said Danilo. Nails crossed the fantasy line with pre-fabricated large white oval shapes that extended out far past the finger tip.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP
: All makeup by Nars. Eyeliner in Black Moon winged underneath the eye in exaggerated Cleopatra fashion, and Loose Powder in Snow coated faces in a white finish. Lips stayed wearable with a slick of pink Triple X Lipgloss.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All products by Phyto. Clip-in hair pieces were treated with Strong Sculpting Gel and back-combed to create bushy volume, texture and shape.Spray de Coiffage kept the transcendent style in place.

GET THE LOOK - NAILS: In order to match the pale white face powder, pre-fabricated nails were coated in Copper Shimmer and pressed on starting at the top knuckle of the finger for a talon-like look.
