Estée Lauder for Anthony Vaccarello AW12

March 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Excitingly and for the first time ever Estée Lauder’s team of makeup artists arrived in Paris to sponsor the beauty look at the Anthony Vaccarello show. Here they styled the hair and nails of dozens of stunning models including one of Estée Lauder’s own models; Joan Small.

The catwalk featured cropped hair with an extreme side parting. The hair was really smoothed down accentuating the natural hairline. This simplistic and modern hair really made the makeup a focal point by revealing the face. Models wore a nude peachy pink with a smoky eye. This really complimented the garments that varied greatly in texture and weight. The outfits were also all quite dark, the makeup helped to balance this.

The impetus behind the makeup was centered on ‘Paris by night’ according to Estée Lauder’s Creative Makeup Director. The smoky eye was indeed that. By varying the shades using burgundy, purples and black this veered away from a typical smoky eye. This was teamed with a lot of black mascara to open up and define the eyes.

Manicurist Christina Conrad was the resident expert on nails. Experimenting with new formulas the nail technicians worked their talent, polishing nails to perfection. The choice was a very deep green shade, verging on black. With a metallic finish this worked magically combined with the clothes, hair and makeup. The reasonably short length of nails embodied the look of a modern, sophisticated young woman.
