Whimsical Beauty Part III

Gottex's 2009 Swimwear line was lavish. Designer Gideon Oberson used lots of gold, shimmery, and metallic peach fabric for his swimwear. Lead make-up artist for MAC cosmetics, Philippe Chansel, wanted to stay with the golden beach look by not adding any dark harsh colors to the face, like black an dark brown. The models are sprayed with bronzers to give off the sun-kissed look. Chansel applied gold paint to the eye called MAC Pro Pigment to make the eye look like gold metal. Chansel also applied false eye lashes to have the eyes pop out on the runway. A simple, glossy lip plumper was applied to finished the look.


"I want to create an authentic wet, smooth pony-tail," says Hanan Shauriki, lead stylist for Redken. Shauriki applies spray starch 15 to the hair while curling. He then pulls the hair back and makes a side pony-tail. The hair is then sprayed with quick dry 18 and forceful 23 to secure the curls. The pony-tail is then pinned into a bun, and the top of the pony-tail is smoothed-over with Blonde Glam Crystal Flash to create a wet look.

I didn't know so much work went into make-up. Then again, that's why I'm not in the fashion industry. Good work Kinya!
