"If your fur coat cost $15,000, spend $15 on your makeup," said lead makeup artist Dick Page backstage at the J. Mendel [1]Fall 2014 show.
Expensive. Uptown. Gorgeous. Mature. These were all words you could use to describe the clothing and the beauty look from the runway. Page created a beautiful makeup palette that didn't clash with the rich colors in the collection. He used Maybelline Master Glaze in Plums Up [2] ($9) on the cheeks and covered the lids in a metallic taupe shadow. The eye makeup was given a touch of drama with Eye Studio Master Smoky Shadow Pencil [3] ($8) topped with lip balm for a glossy finish.
Hair also had a confident and sophisticated flair. Key stylist Anthony Turner used a large one-inch curling iron to create very loose waves with volume at the roots. He created high shine using the Rene Furterer Glossing Spray [4] ($23), which he applied to his hands before raking through the ends. Some of the hair was actually tucked into coats to give the feel of a working woman in a hurry.
Honey mixed two Maybelline polishes [5] ($3), Better in Buff and Go Nude, to give a flesh tone and natural finish to the hands.
