Lucian Matis | Hollywood yohana
“This hair is chaotic⎯it’s an organized mess,” said Paul Pereira, Schwarzkopf Essential Looks Stylist who enlisted OSiS Dust It mattifying powder and OSiS Freeze hairspray to achieve the big volume and tumbleweed-like textured updos that reminded us of the lopsided beehives at Vera Wang’s Spring 2011 show. The organized part revealed itself when the models turned around. “Lucian wanted the nape of the neck to show,” said Pereira, so he created a tight and tiny French braid that ran up the back of the head to meet the messy portion.
“The hair is theatrical, so I wanted the face to be neutral, but gorgeous,” explained Smashbox Pro Artist Lori Taylor. Her direction came from tear sheets Matis showed her of European designers. “The skin is matte, and there is heavy contouring and highlighting⎯ninety percent of the makeup I used is powder.” Despite the heaving table of makeup in front of her to choose from, she kept Smashbox Step-by-Step Contour Kit close at hand. “This is my baby. Every time I pick it up I think ‘how did I do makeup before?’” Taylor used the three-shade palette that launches next month to sculpt cheekbones and applied it as a shadow, rimming the eyes before applying tiny faux lashes near the outer corners.
Manicurist Leeanne Colley outdid herself yet again creating three entirely different designs. “We applied the embellishments from the collection right onto the nails,” said Colley. Gold tips painted in Orly Luxe were adorned with beads. Others featured metal pieces glued on over a coat of CND’s Hyde in the Dark, a charcoal grey. And, just one model had the honour of sporting nails that seemed to sprout the same black tassels dripping from the jacket she wore down the runway.
