Pink Tartan | Hollywood yohana
Topknots⎯the unofficial hairstyle of last summer⎯are alive and kickin’. It’s perched high on the head of the Pink Tartan lady for fall 2011 to be exact. “There’s lots of military pieces, so we wanted a hard/soft aspect to the woman,” explained L’Oreal Paris’ Lead Hair Artist Eric del Monaco. After spritzing hair with water, he made a high pony, split it into two sections and twisted one into a loop and wrapped the other one around the base. Creative director Veronica Chu called the style “organized chaos” saying it was “contained and controlled”. Surely the inescapable mist of Elnett that seemed to hang in a cloud over the area ensured that. Lead Makeup Artist Eddie Malter gave models a hard edge with a dramatic dark eye done in black shadow that extended out and was purposely done not to look “clean” and avoided mascara altogether. He used his backstage MVP product, Wear Infinite Eye Shadow in “Morning Light” to add highlights down the nose and on cheekbones and took down brows and lips with a bit of concealer. The final touch was gloss added to the lids right before the girls took to the runway.
Largely unseen by the audience, the nails at Pink Tartan were the piece de resistance. Leeanne Colley of Tips Nail Bar applied two coats of CND’s “Hide in the Dark” a sparkly charcoal grey. On top of that she layered 3-4 bits of cut up plastic nails that had been dipped in a concoction of OPI‘s “Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous” diluted with topcoat. The end result looked like shards of glass stuck to each nail bed.
