Parisian Beauty at Anthony Vaccarello A/W 2012 MFW
At the Anthony Vaccarello Fall 2012 show, model of the moment and face of Estee Lauder, Joan Smalls, led a flock of mysterious, Parisian style beauties down the runway. Glossy, burgundy-black eyes, nude lips, contoured cheeks and green-black nails ruled the catwalk throughout the show.
“Anthony’s collection is magical – very sexy, very luxurious, very fresh, very young. All of those elements combined inspired me to create a ‘Paris by night’ look, with the focus on the eyes. For me, the eyes represent the Parisian woman, it’s her signature. Anthony is a young designer, and it is important to keep the makeup young and fresh.” – Tom Pecheux Makeup Director of the show said.
Get The Look:
Eyes:
The focus of this look is on the eyes – black with a touch of burgundy and smudged, and a lot of mascara. A touch of gloss on the eyelid gives an overall glamorous, imperfect, ‘lived-in’ look.
Rescu. recommends:
Estee Lauder Pure Color EyeShadow Duo in Moons
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil in Onyx
Lips:
Natural lipstick colour wass used to create a soft, subtle touch that was beautiful and almost invisible. A loose powder can be used on top to matte the lips.
Rescu. Recommends:
Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Vanilla Truffle
Lucidity Translucent Loose Powder
Nails:
The dark green nail color complimented luxurious fashion. As the skin is very natural and fresh, this deep shade gives a strong Winter spirit and a nice finishing touch. The shade is very dark, almost black, and the glow of the light reflects the green shade. This shade inspires sophisticated rebel and offbeat spirit.
Rescu. Recommends:
Estee Lauder New Pure Color Nail Lacquer to be launched later this year.

‘Positively Shining’ Hair at Blumarine A/W 2012 MFW
The electric collection from Blumarine Autumn/Winter 2012 at Milan Fashion Week delivered an exciting dose of metallics, fluorescents and holograms. The shining collection inspired hair that was super-glamorous and gleaming with health.
“The Blumarine woman is sexy and glamorous and knows what she wants so I wanted to create a hair look that was grown up sexy but with a youthful ‘unfinished’ feeling to it. I wanted the hair to shine with health so that it worked with the shiny, metallic effects of the collection, almost as if the hair was actually part of the clothing collection” said Sam McKnight, head hair stylist for the show and Pantene Pro-V Stylist Ambassador.
Get The Look:
1. The perfect base for this look is freshly washed and conditioned hair.
2. Apply Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Root Lift Mist to wet hair and comb through.
3. Dry hair back away from the face using a medium round bristle brush.
4. As you dry the hair, clip each blow dried section in to place and spray with hairspray.
5. When finished drying, create a rough middle parting at the front of the head, then take 2-3 sections of the hair at the crown of the head and backcomb, apply hairspray to the backcombed section, then brush through, finally ruffle with fingers to keep the look natural.
7. Release all the clipped sections of hair and brush through with a soft bristle brush.
8. Finally, set the look in place with a spritz of hairspray.
