Backstage beauty: Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh Style
Pink Tartan
The Pink Tartan lady is so not a lady this season. At the Fall 2009 show on Wednesday night, she’d jettisoned every ounce of femininity out the window and morphed into an androgynous being. To create a “boyish” look, L’Oreal Paris official makeup artist Eddie Maleterre created a completely neutral face with matte skin, contouring the cheeks with powder four shades darker than the model’s skin tone. Eyes were defined in the creases with brown shadow, shaded from the inner corner, across and then downward at the outer corners (as well as slightly below the lower lashline). Any trace of lip pigment was erased with True Match Concealer and then powdered over–mascara was skipped altogether. L’Oreal Paris official hair artist Eric Del Monaco crafted an ’80s, Grace Jones–inspired square shape at the crown and pulled the rest back into a tight ponytail that was twisted and tucked away. After teasing the top section, Studio Line Mineral FX Modeling Gel-Cream (launching this fall) was rubbed through the to create “frayed bits.” The final touch was wrapping the entire head with a black piece of netting.
Joe Fresh Style
Using a picture from Lanvin Fall 2009 as a reference (!), Maleterre created natural, fresh skin. Lids were lightly swept with Wear Infinité Eye Shadow in “Seashell” and a coat of Bare Naturale Mascara. Using his fingers, Maleterre dabbed Colour Riche Lipstick in “British Red”—meant to match the bit of red used in the collection—onto lips to create a stain and keep it from being too bright and glam. Meanwhile, Del Monaco created “very simple, clean hair” first spritzing manes with Elnett Hairspray (finally coming to Canada this fall) and then smoothing them back with a paddle brush into a high, twisted knot. The visible ends were flat-ironed to make them look “healthy” and Studio Line Mineral FX Modeling Gel-Cream was used to slightly rough up the crown area “so that it doesn’t look too tight.”
