CHARLOTTE TILBURY
Lead makeup artist Rachel Zoe sponsored by Maybelline
The look today was inspired by Kate Moss and represents a very bohemian kind of woman. It’s a no makeup makeup. We are using all Maybelline products that are really fantastic like the BB cream for the skin to make the models look really luminous and fresh. We added Dream Matte Mouse in dark coco to contour the cheekbones and temples. Then we are used Dream Bouncy Blush in fresh pink and rose petal just to bring a little flush to the cheeks and added powder down the center of the face. We used Dream Matte Mouse in coco dark mixed with Color Tattoo in bad to the bronze to contour the eyes. With a freckle pen we added a few freckles across the cheeks. For the lips we are using a mixture nude 20 and nude 45 lip liner to really enhance the lip shape.
ODILE GILBERT
Lead stylist Rachel Zoe and Kérastase Paris
A representative for Odile Gilbert describes the hair look for Rachel Zoe.
The inspiration for the hair for Rachel Zoe this season is Brigitte Bardot mixed with Marianne Faithfull so its got a 60s vibe to it. The hair is a really cool blow out but it has texture to it so it not overly polished. She wanted it to have a sexy bed head look and feel to it. About ten of the girls are also getting bang extensions. She is braiding the hair on the crown of the forehead around to the back so the bang extensions can be sewn into the hair without having to cut the models’ hair. A lot of the models also have full extensions to add thickness to the bed head look.
