Makeup inspiration at Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2013:
“Marc [Jacobs] wanted to do something very sophisticated and chic. There’s quite demented hair going on, so what I’m doing is very classical. Everyone has their little reference: Someone said it looks like a [Michael] Fassbender woman, someone else said a Guy Bourdin [photograph], but I was thinking more along the lines of Fanny Ardant, the French actress.” – Dick Page, Shiseido artistic director

Get the look:
On the eyes, Page used two cream shadows. He blended a shimmery taupe from the lower lash line up to the crease and brushed it along the lower lash line. He applied black shadow to the upper part of the lid, diffusing the colour. He also used some black mascara and did “a light groom.” And just before the models hit the runway, Page patted one of his favourite products—Shiseido Benefiance Full Correction Lip Treatment—on lids for a glossy finish. To achieve the “very glossy, wet-looking lip” Page mixed two Shiseido Lacquer Rouge shades: “Sanguine” and “Drama.”

Hair inspiration at Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2013:
“She’s an uptown woman, but then we kind of tried to make it more fun so it’s more Marc by Marc [Jacobs].” – Guido Palau, Redken creative consultant

Get the look:
After applying Redken Guts 10 Volume Spray to help hold the curl in the hair, Palau side parted and curled hair with a one inch barrel iron, pining each piece to set it. Afterward he brushed and “teased it out,” finishing with a mist of hairspray. “[We wanted it] to feel a little bit asymmetrical, a little bit crazy.”
