For
Douglas Hannant's Fall 2013 RTW Collection...Ed Tricomi (of the now
seven salon-ed-
Warren Tricomi) created a stylish pageboy for the gals---by first teasing the model's hair, section by section with a brush ---"not a comb- so it's not packed"....
 |
| love-this leather jacket |
Then ---most of the hair except crown part---(as clipped---pictured below)...was gathered in a 'fake' low ponytail in order to pin underneath -in two sections ---with the resultant pouf shape---equal to the big rollers not needed pageboy from the Eisenhower era.
There was height at the top---but the hair there-as was the whole look- silky sleek smooth-including the tiny ponytail tied in the back with an elastic rubber band.
 |
| pinned underneath -in two sections |
 |
| hairspray filled the air-L'Oreal Professionnel Infinium |
 |
| perfect shape for the hair pinned underneath---neat-not a strand out of place |
 |
| tiny ponytail at back -up top-with height---but very smooth...hairspray use was so copious ---we had to leave the room for some hairspray-free oxygen molecules. |
  |
| to pin underneath----actually took a lot of precision-and sometimes, a few tries to get just right- |
"This is sophisticated hair," Tricomi told us...
"It's best to keep the hair off the clothes...it (hair) is an accessory to the collection." As are the models in a way.
NARS Cosmetics---got the models looking très chic and beautiful...a realistic look "regular" females would like. Clear, matte skin---via Sheer Glow Foundation,
Radiant Creamy Concealer (new product alert), and Zen Blush-topped off with Light Reflecting Setting Powder.
 |
| never ceases to amaze us how many make-up brushes are used by the pros.... |
Jason Hoffman-the lead make-up artist (NARS Training Executive)...went for an "updated' cat's eye glamour of the 50's..."made modern by extending the eye liner on the bottom with a glossy lip." The shiny pout looked great with the non-shiny rest of the face. All very balanced.
For the liner---Carpates Eyeliner Stylo, Via Veneto Larger Than Life® Long-Wear Eyeliner, and Santa Monica Blvd. Larger Than Life® Long-Wear Eyeliner.
For the pouty red lips-African Queen Lip Liner Pencil, Cruella Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (used like a lipstick), topped off with Norma Larger Than Life Lip Gloss.
 |
| false eyelashes...for the ideal flirty flutter |
 |
| for the eyes---Alhambra Duo Eyeshadow, Portobello Eyeshadow, Pandora Duo Eyeshadow...adds depth-eeper brown shade in the socket, subtle matte highlight with neutral/lighter shades but barely there...and neat brows-lightly powdered. |
Gina Edwards-for Essie used
Berry Naughty-a shiny deep bordeaux-on the nails---a color good for all skin tones, imo.
