While their clothes appeal to fashionistas who want to add the perfect amount of edge to their look, there was just as much effort put into the backstage beauty.
The design team decided to style hair and makeup in a way that referenced the sixties. All of the models were powdered from their contoured cheekbones to their eyelids. Swept across the eyelids was the Blacktrack Fluid Eye Liner Gel from MAC cosmetics, which shaped the top of the lids for a cat-eye effect. The black eye liner was also applied to the bottom of the lids and the brows to create a bushy effect that was seen on every housewife of that era.
On-staff hairstylist Sam McKnight used Pantene Pro-V products, like the Volume Mousse and the Extra Strong Mousse, on damp hair to get an intensified "bump it" look. The models deserved a medal for walking the runway with what probably felt like another head on top of their own. The hairdos looked like the pinned-back beehive from the sixties.
