SHOW: RODARTE
MAKEUP: JAMES KALIARDOS FOR M.A.C
HAIR: ODILE FOR AVEDA
NAILS: DEBORAH LIPPMANN
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Architectural face paint
THE SCOOP: The first thing I noticed when I arrived at the Gagosian Gallery (the venue for Rodarte's fall '09 show) was the runway set-up. The chairs were covered in tinfoil and the runway zigzagged back and forth. It looked a bit space age -- a vibe that carried over to the hair and makeup. James Kaliardos explained the makeup as "deconstructing and reconstructing the face," and architectural. There was a definite graphic feeling to it, with lines and contouring under the eyes, along the cheekbones and in the creases of the lids. The use of white and various flesh tones rounded out the sculpted look, and the lips stayed neutral (bordering on grim) in grayish nude.
Odile explained the hair, quite simply, as small, chic and modern. That description translated to a very sleek, tightly wound and banded side chignon with a side part.
The nails were super modern too, painted with a shade of glittery gunmetal that Deborah Lippmann co-created with the Mulleavy sisters for the show.
GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: The M.A.C team used several M.A.C Pro products to create the sculpted look: Paint Stick in Pure White under the eyes, Shaping Powder in Warm Light and Accentuate on cheeks and eyes, Pigment in Frozen White on the inner corners of the eyes, and for lips, a combination of M.A.C Lip Pencil in Stone and Lipstick in Fresh Brew.
GET THE LOOK - HAIR: Odile used Aveda Brilliant Spray-On Shine to impart shine and smooth flyaways on the severe style.
GET THE LOOK - NAILS: Deborah Lippmann's special show shade, Marquee Moon, will hit stores this fall!
