The Nails Of NYC Fashion Week 2011

So, we've seen an overload of the hair and makeup at this week's NYC fashion week, but what about the nail trends?

Companies like CND and Dashing Diva are all over the catwalk with Spring/ Summer's must-have creations....

Here's a look at what's to come on our tips:



At Jen Kao, CND nails by Kristina Estabrooks were inspired by organic, living things in the swampy depths of nature. Long, almond shape nails were based with Gold Chrome and Midnight Sapphire, and accented with drops of Gold Pearl, Iced Blue Shimmer, and Midnight Sapphire for a psychedelic stained glass effect. An almost aquatic quality took hold to match mind-bogglingly twisted hair, green metallic eye shadow and glittery bronze brows. 



Jason Wu's majestic, baroque nails were out in full force - Roxanne Valinoti created gilded burgundy manicures using Dark Ruby layered with Bloodline, and gilded with Gold Chrome smile lines. These manicures matched slicked back ponytails with a flash of gold leaf (CND). 



At Tibi, Pattie and her team created neon pink French manicures for models to accent the designer’s hot pink accessories (Dashing Diva).



At Imitation, Pattie used Dashing Diva’s Date Night polish for a classic red nail look, requested by the designer, Tara Subkoff.








Celebrity nail technician Pattie Yankee and the Dashing Diva nail tech team worked backstage and created glitter nails for models at the Jeremy Scott show.

Trend Forecasting: New York Fashion Week S/S 2011

New York Fashion Week is literally days away and I thought it would be educational to start off the festivities with a forecast of trends to come. With this in mind, I asked Daniel Martin, Lancome makeup artist who will be working his magic at the Chris Benz show next Monday, for his take on the top 5 trends we are bound to see on the runway come Thursday, February 10, 2011.

Here's what Daniel had to say:

1.      Eye shadows are back—We've seen lips for so long, women will experiment with their eyes again, especially with the use color!  Either it be a turquoise or aubergine shadow palettes (like Lancôme’s 5 Pan Palettes in Teal Fury and Mauve Chérie) or a bright colored eyeliner, the focus will be all eyes!

2.      Luminized skin—Skin will be radiant with shimmer creating a lit-from-within effect.

3.      Sheer pop of color on the mouth—Rather than lipstick, sheer textures with clear color will make an impact.

4.      Sculpted eyes and cheeks—You're going to see "strength" on the face. More emphasis on accenting and accentuating, rather than intense color.

5.      "NO Makeup" makeup—Modern and very 90's, we'll see a lot more monochromatic color for fall. Case in point, Emma Stone's makeup at the Golden Globes (pictured). Fresh with matching cheek, lip and eye colors harmonizing the entire look.

GIRL CRUSH: Rebecca Hall

I loved her in Woody Allen's Vicky Christina Barcelona and I hope to love her just as much in Ben Affleck's The Town. Rebecca Hall is SO smoking she's practically on fire.

While doing press for her newest flick, Rebecca showed off a medley of different looks, from curly hair to straight, red lips to nude lips, but my favorite look comes from the Toronto Film Festival (pictured). The actress chose to wear her hair straight and to pair her red dress with a subtle eye and nude lip. It's all very natural and sophisticated yet somehow still manages to be very put together.

Makeup was created by Stephen Sollitto for NARS Cosmetics. He was going for a “modern and monochromatic for a vibe reminiscent of Studio 54.”

Products Used: Sheer Glow Foundation, Douceur Blush, Melusine Duo Eyeshadow (NEW for Holiday 2010! For now, try Daphne Eyeshadow in the outer corners for definition), and Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara, and Tashkent Pure Matte Lipstick, “ideal for her sleek look.

For hair, try a flat iron and a straightening serum like Jonathan Product Create Straight ($17.00 on sale!).

We may not all be blessed with Rebecca's gorgeous skin and luscious locks, but we can sure fake it! As for those arm muscles, that requires some heavy lifting.

PROENZA SCHOULER BACKSTAGE

Proenza is seriously one of my all time favorite clothing lines so I was delighted to see that the hair for Spring coming off the runway was equally glam.

Paul Hanlon, lead stylist for Frédéric Fekkai, created a rough, tousled half-twist with volume and wave. It's all very epic and romantic.

GET THE LOOK: Hanlon began by applying Fekkai’s Coiff™ Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray heavily throughout the hair from roots to ends, creating texture and fullness.

Using a diffuser, he finger-combed the hair dry.

Hanlon then loosely gathered and tucked the top half of the hair into a french twist at the nape of the neck, leaving a few long layers of hair free.

To obtain the modern style, he left the ends out of the twist and sprayed Fekkai Coiff™ Sheer Hold Hairspray all over, to secure the look.







This is a style I'd wear off a runway, perhaps to a benefit or a chic party. Proenza scores again!

MARC JACOBS BACKSTAGE

Probably the most highly anticipated show of the season, definitely when it comes to hair and makeup, is that of Marc Jacobs.... faces by Francois Nars of Nars Cosmetics. He always does something very non-traditional, most likely unwearable, but a work of art none-the-less.

This year was no exception. The trend here was glossy green eyes and deep matte lips. Here are the deets:

LOOK & INSPIRATION: “The look is very reminiscent of Angelica Houston in the 70s-the bleached brows and the deep eyes,” said François Nars. “I wanted them to look like iconic models from the 70s with a modern approach. Marc had images of what he wanted the makeup to look like – mimicking the colors of the clothing but not matching exactly.”


GET THE LOOK:

Face:
-Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (NEW for 2011-for now try a light application of Nars Sheer Glow Foundation)
-Nars Orgasm Blush

Eyes:
-Nars Night Porter Eyeshadow
-Nars Nouveau Monde Duo Eyeshadow (NEW for 2011-for now try the olive side of Earth Angel Duo Eyeshadow)
-Nars Celebrate Soft Touch Shadow Pencil (New for 2011-for now try the green side of Rated R Duo Eyeshadow)
-Nars Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara

Lips:
-Nars Volga Pure Matte Lipstick (now on counters exclusively at Saks!)
-Nars African Queen Lip Liner Pencil
-Nars Mambo Eyeliner Pencil

CHARLOTTE RONSON BACKSTAGE

The designer debuted her Spring/ Summer line at Lincoln Center on Saturday evening. We have the backstage deets for the look:

"Inspired by 90’s minimalist grunge and ornate Moorish embellishments the Spring 11 collection has a
disheveled feel of thrown on dressing. Spanish Floral prints and embroidery give a spirited ethnic touch juxtaposed with the simplicity of the perfect bias cut slip dress, scrunched down boyfriend socks and
strappy stilettos finish the collection that is ‘Adorned’ in detail and ‘Minimal’ in effort.

The hair was inspired by the Corinne Day picture of Kate Moss." --- Charlotte Ronson.

Here, sister Annabelle Dexter-Jones shows us the similarities....

Fashion Week: Backstage at Jason Wu

One of my favorite looks so far is that of the models at Jason Wu. It's polished yet still young and fresh. The makeup is pristine and the hair is intricate and beautiful.

Here, Aveda lead hair stylist Odile Gilbert explains how you can get the look:

“The Jason Wu hair look for this season is simple yet sophisticated, with 1970’s inspiration. We’re braiding chiffon—scraps from the collection—into the hair and twisting the ends into a flower. This look captures the happiness and excitement of spring and summer.” –Odile Gilbert for Aveda–Odile Gilbert for Aveda

HOW TO GET THE LOOK:

1. Prep damp hair with Aveda Smooth Infusion™ Style-Prep Smoother™ for smoothness and to tame flyaways. Use a fine-tooth comb to create a strong, clean part on the right side of the head and then blow dry straight using a Mason Pearson brush. 

2. Pull hair tightly back and separate into four sections along the nape of the neck. Spray each with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray for shine and flexible hold.

3. Tie a long ribbon or piece of fabric—in a shade close to the hair color—around the top of each section of hair. 

4. One section at a time, braid the fabric through the hair and secure at the bottom with an elastic. Leave excess fabric out at the bottom of each braid. Spray each braid liberally with Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray for ultra-strong hold.

5. Collect all four braids and tie the fabric into one large bow at the end to create a ‘flower.’

6. Pull the fabric ‘flower’ upwards and secure at the nape of the neck with hair pins, creating beautiful braided loops stemming from the flower. Finish the look with Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray.

Q: What was your inspiration for this look? How did you collaborate with the designer to create the look?

“Jason’s collection was inspired in part by the 1970’s, so we wanted the hair for this season to reflect the hair of that era. Though the look is ultra-sophisticated, it’s also young and playful, with clean, slick hair in front and a mélange of braids and twists gathered into a gorgeous flower in back. The addition of Jason’s material completes the look, like chiffon highlights.” — Odile Gilbert for Aveda

Q: How could a woman achieve this look on her own?

“This look is very simple to recreate and works on anyone. Prep hair with Aveda Smooth Infusion™ Style-Prep Smoother™ and blow dry straight. Separate four sections of hair in the back and twist a piece of fabric into each. Leave a little fabric out at the ends and tie them together into a bow. Twist the braids up and pin to the back of the head. Set the style with Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray.”—Odile Gilbert for Aveda

tarte brings green beauty to the catwalk

Celeb makeup artist Tina Turnbow has launched her limited edition line for tarte just in time for Fashion Week in New York. While her clients include Claire Danes, Rachel Weisz and Amanda Peet, Tina turned her magic towards the runway for Lela Rose and Susan Woo last week. Check out Tina’s green chic inspiration and step-by-step below.

Lela Rose Fall 2010 Overall Look:
The moonlit eyes are mysterious, while the complexion and lips have a cloudy, hazy feel.

FOR EYES: Think of the eye as a rounded sphere or planet. The inner crease of the eye is darkened up to the brow with the shimmery deep blue gray (eyeshadow in lucy I'm home). The outer area is rounded, softly muted blackness. The center of the eye is the lightest, with darker edges (inner and outer corner of eye) ending in black (eye couture palette). Apply blue lagoon only in the center of the top and lower lids. Blend the blue into the gray and then into a bit of the black. There should be a bit of the blue and silver gray (eye couture palette) blended in the center of the lower lashline. Apply smolderEYES in the inner rim of the eyes. Top it off with a coat of lights, camera, lashes! mascara on the top and bottom lashes (no curling needed). Leave eyebrows-do not fill in. After finishing the eyes, clean underneath with the eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer.

Tina wanted the face to “feel muted like a hazy, cloudy sky.” She created the look by using:
· the eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer after applying shadows to
avoid fallout.
· smooth operator oil-free tinted moisturizer with SPF 20
(one shade lighter than model's complexion)
· provocateur pressed mineral powder
· t-zone travel

To cheeks add “just a touch of healthy blush” with:
· blissful natural cheek stain (warm peachy pink)
· powder over blissful with provocateur pressed mineral powder



Susan Woo Fall 2010 Overall Look:
Effortless beauty- A fresh, slightly-dewy complexion with kohl-rimmed eyes.

Tina's palette was “all about a healthy, dewy complexion.” To get the look:
• Spot treat problem areas and darkness with the eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer.
• Apply smooth operator oil-free tinted moisturizer with SPF 20 all over the face.
• Using rest assured brightening wand apply the sheer pink highlighter on top of cheek bones, over lids before shadow application, on the bridge of the nose, on the cupid's bow and in the corner of eyes.
• Apply natural cheek stain in dollface in a U-shape from top of lids to outer and under eye area (acting as an illuminator).
• Dab natural cheek stain in true love on apples of cheek for “just a hint of flush.”
• Highlight cheeks with natural cheek stain in dollface.

Kohl-rimmed eyes add emphasis without being too smoky. Using the eye couture day-to-night palette apply the shimmery deep gray and top with the silver sheen. Then line the inner rim and lash line with emphasEYES™ natural high definition inner rim eye pencil in black and emphasEYES™ waterproof clay shadow/liner smudge the top line. You want to create darkness around the lash line.
• Curl lashes with picture perfect lash curler.
• Coat top and bottom lashes with lights, camera, lashes! 4-in-1 natural mascara.
• Using the lash and mascara comb brush brows in an upward motion.

Finish off lips with "a healthy, natural, berry stain" with LipSurgence™ natural lip stain in moody (exclusive to Sephora)\

Check out the collection at tarte.com, beauty.com and at Sephora onlie and in stores now.

LOVING THIS LOOK: FW 2010 Rodarte

The biggest hair trends so far: adornments. Be it a rubber band, a hat or flower pieces here at Rodarte, hair accessories are a must-have come fall 2010.

Aveda helps us get the look from one of the most beautiful show's this season: Rodarte.

Odile Gilbert created glossy, childlike hair adorned with handmade flower pins at the Rodarte Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Week show in New York.



GET THE LOOK:

1. Prep damp hair with Aveda Smooth Infusion™ Glossing Straightener for shine and sleekness, and blow-dry smooth with a flat brush.

2. Create a clean left side part. Straighten hair layer by layer using a flat iron.

3. Create anchors for the flower pins by forming three small braids along the scalp: one along the left side of the occipital ridge, one across the center of the head, and one vertically along the left side part. Spray with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray for maximum hold.

4. Brush hair over the braids, keeping the left side part clean and strong. Spray each layer of hair with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray and blow-dry for intense hold and shine. Hair should be sleek and close to the head.

5. Use small bobby pins to secure hair in a clean line from one side of the occipital ridge to the other, just above the nape of the neck. Let the ends of hair fall loosely in back and over both shoulders.

6. Secure a selection of metal flower ornaments into the hair horizontally across the head, using the covered braids as anchors. Finish the look with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray.


Q: What was your inspiration for this look? How did you collaborate with the designer to create the look?
“Kate, Laura, and I wanted to create a hair look with a dreamy, almost childlike feeling. From the front, the hair looks like it is left down, but in back, it is controlled, adorned with metal flowers that look like barrettes. There’s also a Mexican influence on the look, since the Rodarte collection this season is inspired by bordertowns. We wanted to reflect this inspiration with the vintage flower ornaments and shiny, side-parted hair.” –Odile Gilbert for Aveda

Q: How could a woman achieve this look on her own?
“This look is pretty and playful, especially for daytime. Prep damp hair with Aveda Smooth Infusion™ Glossing Straightener for sleekness and shine, blow dry smooth, and straighten with a flat iron. Pull hair tightly back and secure with bobby pins in a clean line—from one side of the occipital ridge to the other. Spray liberally with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray for all-day strong hold. Bring loose hair over both shoulders and finish the look by adding vintage hair ornaments.” — Odile Gilbert for Aveda

Q: What is the inspiration for your collection? What is the look you are capturing?
“Our collection this season explores the idea of sleepwalking. The idea of a dream state, or an in-between state, inspired us.” —Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte

Q: You have made a real effort to “green” your show this season. How do you feel about this accomplishment?
“Laura and I are committed to protecting the environment. Our greatest inspiration comes from the natural landscape that we grew up in, so we are proud to be partnering with a company like Aveda that promotes environmental awareness and responsibility.” —Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte

the look: tarte + hayden-harnett

You know we heart tarte at Beauty Banter, and we also happen to love fashion. So when I found out that tarte was working behind the scenes during Fashion Week for the Hayden-Harnett show, I wanted to get the details. Held at The Gabarron Foundation Carriage House Center for the Arts on September 10th, tarte makeup artist Laura McGuire created the look for the models sporting Hayden-Harnett’s Spring 2010 clothing and leather goods. A perfect match.

The H-H collection was “inspired by a nomadic journey through lava fields and desert landscapes.” So, McGuire and her team of artists “used this to create a warm complexion with a strong, geometric brow and soft lip. Think natural with just a hint of healthy glow. The eyes remain muted with a major focus on the brows.”

Get the look with these tarte products:

For the face - Smooth Operator Oil-Free Foundation with SPF 20; The Eraser 4-in-1 Natural Concealer; Dark Circle Defense Natural Under Eye Corrector; Provocateur Powder Pressed Mineral Powder; Rest Assured Brightening Wand

Cheeks - Park Ave Princess Mineral Bronzer Powder; Green Siren Natural Cheek Stain

Eyes - Lifted Natural Eye Primer; Sandstone Creaseless shadow; Femme Natural Eye Palette; Chocolate Indelible Wink Liquid Liner; Chocolate emphasEYES eye pencil; Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara

Lips - 4-in-1 Natural Concealer; 24/7 Natural Lip Sheer in Summer Fling and Champagne Brunch; Crown Jewels Lipgloss Set

All products can be found here, and at a Sephora near you.

Without parabens, phthalates, sulfates, petrochemicals or synthetic fragrance, tarte is lux beauty with fabulous eco-responsibility.

My new tarte favorite is the toolbox brow know-how eyebrow kit. The little lavender box fits in the palm of your hand but don’t let the size fool you. Inside it houses brow wax, powder, gel and pencil, along with a brush, tweezers and brow templates. Perfect for travel but just as great for home, it’s everything you need in one place. xo alex.

How To: Rachel Roy Hair Spring/ Summer 2010 NY Fashion Week

“The hair for Rachel Roy pairs a modern edge with a voluminous and classic curl, always elegant, always chic.” – Frederic Fekkai



LEAD STYLIST, ANDRE RODMAN FOR FEKKAI DISHES ON THE LOOK FOR RACHEL ROY

Andre created two looks at the Rachel Roy Spring 2010 show – both over top voluminous looks, one with a modern edge and one more classic, both big on glamour. For the classic look, a center part with soft, bouncy waves starting beneath the chin, Rodman used Fekkai COIFF™ Strong Hold Volume Mousse, then sprayed hair with Fekkai COIFF™ Defense Pre Style Thermal UV Protectant and curled it around a one inch iron. He used Fekkai Au Naturel Sheer Styling Gel for the modern look; short hair with either a severe side part tucked behind the ears or brushed straight back.

This is an easy, accessible style that any of us can achieve at home! YAY to simple.

Jurlique for Fashion Week

With fashion week frenzy looming, it's nice to know there is some solace to be found. Jurlique will be on hand at a couple of fashion shows to bring peace and harmony into the rowdy backstage environment. We could all use a little R&R.

The all-natural, biodynamic brand will be relaxing and soothing the gorgeous girlies of fashion week 2010 with a remarkably scentual approach. A Jurlique aesthetician will be behind the scenes relaxing models with soothing hand massages using the brand’s infamous Lavender hand lotion at the VPL show (a.k.a. “Visible Panty Lines” designed by acclaimed fashion stylist Victoria Barlett, available at Blue & Cream. It was a top ten finalist for the CFDA Fashion Fund award in 2007) on Saturday. Another reason to model in my next life.

Using a diffuser, Jurlique’s Harmony essence (a serene blend of Lavender Oil, Clary Sage Oil and Geranium Leaf Oil) will waft through the air creating a blissful oasis backstage.

Jurlique will also be at the Karen Walker show (I LOVE drunky-face Karen Walker of Will and Grace - different Karen, I know) diffusing their Calming essence (a soothing blend of Geranium Leaf Oil, Rosewood Oil, and Lavender) backstage.

And then there's Phillip Lim (I'm blushing.... love him!). Jurlique will provide 150 Lavender Mists to Phillip's womenswear show (It’s Phillip’s favorite product!) and for 75 Citrus Mists for front row guests of his menswear debut.

Jurlique is SO in fashion...

You can purchase the essential oils at www.jurlique.com and give your room it's own peace-of-mind makeover. You can find a diffuser by clicking here. Just add in your favorite Jurlique oil and you're good to go.

Backstage with Charlotte Ronson

Mercedes Benz New York Fall Fashion Week is finally over. Fashionistas are clearing out of the city and designers are hard at work on Spring Fashion Week...

BUT here at Beauty Banter we're taking an inside look at one of our favorite fashion designer's Spring 09 (debuted at the Promenade on Saturday, September 6, 2008) line: Charlotte Ronson!


Charlotte
is an old friend of ours so we're very excited that we LOVE THE SPRING LINE SO MUCH!!! And we're even more excited to use our "friends and family" discount for these must-have frocks!

Now, onto the beauty. Beauty.com celebrity makeup artist, Tina Turnbow, transformed the innocent faces of the models into "grungy meets Lucky Star (as in Madonna)."

Charlotte says the inspiration came from asking these 3 questions: "Where were you between '88 and '92? What were you listening to? And what were you wearing? The make-up was designed to portray a touch of the 80's toned down with a hint of grunge. This gave an edgier look to my girl."

Tina, who used Tarte Cosmetics on the models, said "The makeup for Charlotte Ronson merged new wave and grunge. It featured a strong 80s brow and contoured cheek and the undone vibe of 90s grunge. Lip color was more of a bitten stain rather than a full color or gloss. The lid had a hint of olive green and a good coat of mascara. The look was a bit tough, but pretty and had an edge in its imperfection."

Here are some pics from the show:














We're obsessed with the burst-of-berry stained lips! And the deep eyes really bring out the authentic beauty. Nothing too over the top, this look is SO natural yet sultry. It's like a flashback to supermodels - glam meets grunge!

Hair styled with Sebastian hair products (we heart the messy, pulled back hair and side braids!).
