Backstage Beauty: Phillip Lim’s Makeup Artists Explain How to Achieve the Show’s Strong Eyes -- The Cut Photographer Blake Hamilton continues to take backstage beauty portraits for us, and this time he presents Phillip Lim's fall 2012 collection. Lead NARS cosmetics makeup artist, Francelle Daly, explains that the show's beauty look was "really inspired by Phillip’s palette, and I wanted to have a boldness, an edginess." She continues, "I wanted to add a lot of impact and drama." Hence why the show's focus skews heavily on the eyes, while the remainder of the face is kept minimal with just a bit of foundation and highlighting on the cheekbones. Skin "The skin is clean and glowy, just a little bit of a highlighter on the cheekbones. Eyes"For this look it’s all about eyes, so definitely start with the eyes, because that’s where you spend most of your time. Another thing that’s more runway: We did red tears that are sort of coming out from the tear ducts. Brows"Eyebrows were left natural but brushed up to have sort of an unruly, superhero type of effect."
dry shampoo I won’t easily forget my first dry shampoo recipe or homemade waterless shampoo, whatever you would like to call it. Picture this: Summer of 199Something, backpacking through Europe. Almost at the end of my trip my shampoo is finished, as is my money (well almost, but I chose bread over shampoo… am I weird now?) I’m wearing a baseball cap most of the time to hide my hair and bumming shampoo from fellow travelers whenever I can At some point it must have been so bad that the landlady of the small French hostel I’m staying in, grabs me by the arm and drags me into her small kitchen. In my room I applied her dry shampoo as instructed, brushed it out and was completely blown away. Needless to say I thanked her from the bottom of my heart and asked her what was in that jar. Now you are here looking for a homemade waterless shampoo recipe and I’m all too glad to share some of the easiest and fun ones with you (not that I’m saying you need it like I did… ;-) What is a dry or waterless shampoo?
