Trends can be intimidating, especially during Fashion Week- not only are the models 16 year old goddesses, but they have the best in makeup, hair, and design backstage dressing them up like dolls. How can we compete?
Thankfully, as we jet from backstage to backstage this season, we keep hearing the same phrases used over and over again: clean, fresh, organic, and “like they did it themselves”. Good news for us, who don’t have the beauty team following us around all day ( a girl can dream!)
Backstage at the Charlotte Ronson show, we noticed some really chic looks, which thankfully are super easy to re-create at home. Here’s how to get the look:
For the face, Sephora PRO artist Gilbert Soliz told us that Charlotte wanted the girls to look as if they’d done their own faces. The skin was kept dewy using Make Up For Ever Face and Body Liquid Makeup, and then sculpted with taupe powder to lift the face. The eyes were then given a monochromatic brown smokey look using Makeup For Ever Aqua Eyes in Pearly Brown. The shadow was applied to the lid and then winged out with a brush, followed by DiorShow mascara enhance lashes. The eyebrows were kept natural and only lightly groomed, and lips were left nude, touched only by clear balm to enhance (Sephora FACE Very Sexy Nourishing Lip Balm SPF 15).
For the hair, TRESemmÉ Celebrity Stylist Jeanie Syfu said that Ronson wanted
“decadence”. The hair was prepped with a
lightweight mousse (Tresemme 24hr Body), and then
dried with a round brush for volume before being sectioned off and
wrapped lightly around a barrel iron. The curls were then finger combed to loosen the wave, and spritzed
with a dry shampoo (Tresemme Fresh Start) to absorb leftover styling products.
Viola! So simple….turban optional.

When it comes to stocking stuffer-type gifts, we are always on the lookout for ideas that would suit the many makeup-loving gals on our lists. It just so happens that Kerry Malouf (celebrity makeup artist to Emmy Rossum, Alicia Silverstone, Jennifer Goodwin and others) suggested a great one to us that we had to pass along.
Kerri says: “Makeup palettes make for great holiday gifts! These amazing Luscious Lip Palettes from Nyx Cosmetics are the perfect stocking stuffer for all women— the busy mom, beauty lovers, college student. They provide a combination of high-pigment color mixed with high shine gloss, so you can mix and match, highlight and shade— for the perfect pout!”
