In a collection of both couture gowns and more casual sportswear, the hair stayed '70s, curly, and bouncy, bumped up to runway status via ornate clips and scarves, while the makeup was a mixed-metal big eye and beautiful sparkly beige glitter on the nails.
HAIR: Peter Gray for Moroccanoil
MAKEUP: Tom Pecheux for MAC Cosmetics
NAILS: Deborah Lippmann for Deborah Lippmann
SNAPSHOT: Posh meets Spice
THE SCOOP: Tom Pecheux for MAC Cosmetics was inspired by "a day Studio 54 look," to complement the playful and vibrant '70s curls created by Peter Gray for Moroccanoil. The latter said the designers were thinking about 1980s film "White Mischief" and wanted to emulate the "posh, charming English women who, underneath the proper surface, have a wildness to them." A headful of curls was the result, decorated with various shiny metals or a woven-in scarf. For nails, Deborah Lippmann was tasked to create a "fashion-forward modern nail," which resulted in cool layering of a beige and a bluish glitter.
GET THE LOOK -- MAKEUP: All makeup by MAC. The essence of this look is white eyes, pink lips, and vibrant blush high on the cheekbones. Get skin ready with Skin Studio Moisture Tint and dust on top a bit of Prep and Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. For blush, Pecheux mixed together Frankly Scarlett and Peaches, to give some color without going overboard. The eyes were, again, a mix of pigments in beige, silver, and gold, with Dalliance Mega Metal Shadow mixed with Silver Dusk and Iridescent Powder applied with a fluffy brush. Pecheux feels it doesn't matter if you premix colors or apply one at a time; he said to definitely use the beige and gold together to tone down the silver shade. Dust the silver over the lids to the crease, and be sure to take it to the inside corner of the eye as well. Finish with the Dalliance Mega Metal Shadow as the top and final layer, and generously use the Opulash Mascara in black on the top lashes only. Finish lips with the So Vain Kissable Lipcolour.
