SKIN: I started by prepping the skin with La Mer Moisturizer.

EYES: I applied Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Shadow in Ice to her eyelid, from the lash line to the crease. I used YSL Ombres 5 Lumieres in 4 Lilac Sky, I mixed the dark purple and the medium purple and applied it over the cream shadow, blending it into the crease and upward. I smudged the dark purple shadow along her lower lash line as well. Then I applied two coats of Lancome Definicils Mascara in Black. I added a few individual lashes from Ardell using Duo eyelash adhesive.

FACE: I applied Laura Mercier Oil Free Supreme Foundation in Sunny Beige. Then, I used Dior Skin Radiance Booster Pen in Candle Light 002 under her eyes. For blush, I applied Josie Maran Cream Blush in Sunset to the apples of her cheeks. Once her face is ready, I set the skin with Shiseido Translucent Pressed Powder. Then I brushed on Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour Blush in Exposed over the cream blush.

LIPS: I applied Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in 79 Plumetis.

spring trends

Spring has finally sprung and it's time to celebrate! In this week's Throwback Thursday, we take a look back to the Spring shows that debuted last fall and break down the biggest beauty trends of the season. Did the fashion set get it right? Read on and decide for yourself.


minimalism

Some see Fashion's recent MINIMALIST trend as a call-to-arms against the rising number of social media outlets covering the shows. Fashion may be using MINIMALISM as a way of distinguishing the true style stars from the hoards of wannabes peacocking for blogger-cred in the streets. For S/S13 we saw many designers stray away from garish runway shows in lieu of more paired down, subtle turnouts; focusing on luxe fabrics, tailoring and design integrity.

Hairstylists opted for sleek and simple styles to compliment the understated clothes coming down the runway. Deep parts (re: very deep) and low ponytails were the technique of choice for taking these looks from mundane to chic. In the same vain, makeup artists went for a less-is-more approach; the makeup story at Valentino was rumored to be completely based off the natural flush of model Maud Welzen's cheeks! Some shows even went as far as scrapping makeup altogether in favor of facial massages and other skincare treatments before the shows. Gasp!

HAIR

The minimal trend is great for Spring because it relies on a girl's natural hair texture and, when done right, takes almost no prep time! But be warned: Minimal hair does not mean messy hair! When it comes to making this trend work it's all about the details.

A polished ponytail only takes an extra 60 seconds to wrap extra hair around the tie and secure with bobby pins. Another key element is clean lines. I suggest using Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Flexible Hold Hairspray and a natural bristle brush to create a crisp hairline in the front, sides and along the nape of the neck.

MAKEUP

Makeup is a reflection of the times and, right now, women are putting the color into their wardrobe & less on their face. Women want to look healthy & fresh. For many years we have caked on the makeup and now it's about a classic look w good features. Granted, we'll still see a pop of color on the lips and the eyes, but natural beauty has never been more popular than right now.

If you want great skin (and you're not 19) - it's starts internally. Water is key to keeping your liver clean (which is where dark circles under the eye come from). Alcohol dehydrates and can make women break out. It even comes down to cleaning your sheets regularly because a dirty pillow case can cause blemishes. If you want perfect skin you need to treat your body well & take care of personal hygiene.

A girl can rock the minimal look easily & it's fun. Try applying foundation to the skin like a moisturizer. I like to use CHANEL Vitalumiere Aqua, Neutrogena Healthy Skin and Dior Liquid Foundation. First, you take foundation in palm of hand and either mix w a lotion or apply after moisturizer and let it set. Second, take a bronzer and apply to contour of cheek bone, forehead and chin. Then, with a beautiful matte brush, apply small amount to apple of cheek. Nothing should overpower.

grunge trend

90's grunge was alive and thriving on the S/S13 runways. Dries Van Noten's show was so overwrought with sheer flannel it was hard not to liken it to Marc Jacobs controversial debut (and finale) show for Perry Ellis in the early 90's. Even though Kurt and Courtney seemed to be on everyone's mood board this season, beauty pros made conscious efforts to modernize the oft-gritty look; using pomades and braiding/unbraiding hair to create the lived-in effect and swapping out Love's signature red lipstick for an updated shade of fuchsia. Yes, grunge is back…and she's all grown up!

HAIR

SEEN AT: Dries Van Noten (Paris), 3.1 Philip Lim (New York), Prada (Milan)

The 90's grunge look has always been a favorite of mine. Nothing quite says cool like that style. The hair being so effortless, no fuss, allows us to embrace our more natural side, not being afraid of frizz and texture.  

Using products like Fekkai Tousled Wave Hairspray, that enhance the hairs natural wave while taming some frizz is the perfect way to create a more polished natural grunge look. Also, loosely braiding the hair while it's drying, then removing the hair from the braids before it totally dries is the perfect way to enhance the hairs texture and get the 90's grunge wave. 

I recently did a grunge look for Emma Stone on the cover of W Magazine. I love Juergen Teller's raw aesthetic and knew Emma's pale blonde color and natural texture would be perfectly complimented by the way he shoots. That real, effortless, raw feel is one of the sexiest looks in my book.  

SWA hairstylist Mara Roszak

MAKEUP

grunge makeup

SEEN AT: 3.1 Philip Lim (New York), Giles (London), Dries Van Noten (Paris)

One thing that doesn't get mentioned enough about the 90's grunge scene is what a great time it was for women.  Sonic Youth, The Breeders, PJ Harvey, L7, and even Courtney Love were all bad ass rockers that equaled their male counterparts.  They actually played instruments, wrote their music and controlled their own image - quite different from the slickly packaged dance performances, pre-recorded audio tracks and stripper costumes that many of today's female acts have adopted.   The grunge look wasn't about being overtly sexy, it was about a certain kind of cool that rejected the mainstream "Clueless" ideal.

Seeing grunge fashion come around again feels strange since in the back of my closet there is still a collection of plaid flannels, striped men's sailor shirts, badly ripped Levi's and concert t-shirts worn to transparency.  Perhaps it's resurgence is a response to the overwhelming quest for homogenized perfection, idealized beauty and extreme commercialism that have become the trademarks of this decade?  Or maybe it's just because every generation wishes they had seen the bands of the decade prior to them?  Regardless, seize this moment to embrace the grunge aesthetic.  Here are some tips:

1: Skip the conditioner, blow dryer and straightening iron in favor of "mussed to the point of tangled" hair.  Pair with clean skin, simple winged eye liner and a swipe of nude lipstick for an updated version of the classic 90's party look.

2: Channel the ideal amount of 90's angst with tinted moisturizer and a brick red lipstick.  Resist the temptation to apply mascara and blush.  

3: Consider bangs.  The shorter, the better.  Also, ditch your hand painted ombre and salon created blond highlights for a bad bleach job, raven black or deep cherry red. 

4:  Under-eye circles are chic.  Embrace yours.  

5: Apply a generous amount of black eyeliner BEFORE you go to bed.  Wake up, splash water on your face and leave your house.  This is the way that 90's rockers and party animal models used to achieve that perfectly smudged smokey eye.

sixties trend

The same way GRUNGE and MINIMALISM represent dual style trends from the 90s, the 60's revival that overtook the Spring runways can also be broken into two categories: POLISHED and FACTORY GIRL. Models either channelled Jackie or Twiggy. Audrey or Edie. Uptown or Downtown. And, sometimes, a little bit of both.

The POLISHED 60's trend was most notable at Louis Vuitton, where models descended from escalators in pairs sporting matching headband-adorned bouffants. Vuitton creative director, Marc Jacobs, pioneered the trend three weeks earlier at his namesake runway show when he sent his girls strutting down the runway with platinum mod-inspired cuts. The 60's FACTORY GIRL element could be seen in the makeup stories at big houses like Fendi, Chanel and Dior where makeup artists made model's eyes POP! Pun intended.

HAIR

sixties hair

SEEN AT: Louis Vuitton (Paris), Marc Jacobs (New York), Dolce & Gabanna (Milan)

The 60's represent one of the last eras where women embraced a very  "lady-like" aesthetic, and there was clearly a return to femininity in the Spring shows. I think Twiggy, Edie and Jackie O are definitely some of the strongest icons from this  era. Although now, you have women like Lana del Rey and Michelle Williams (with her cropped haircut) who are adopting these styles. 

A proper blowout is crucial to achieving the 60's look. Even though you often tease afterwards, getting the root blown out and the volume in the hair first is essential.  You can set the hair in Velcro rollers or heat up the hot rollers if you prefer, it really just depends on your hair type. Simple things  like a deep side part with an ear-tuck, or some added volume in the crown will give a 60s feeling to your modern hairstyle without making it too strong of a look.  

Personally, I'm a sucker for a modern texture combined with a retro shape. The right volumizer for your hair type is key. I like Leonor Greyl mousse for these looks (although it can sometimes be too heavy for certain hair textures). And a good strong hold hairspray, I use REDKEN 23 Super Strength Finishing Spray and Oribe Superfine Hairspray

SWA hairstylist Luke Chamberlain

MAKEUP

sixties makeup

SEEN AT: Michael Kors (New York), Fendi (Milan), Christian Dior (Paris)

For Spring we saw a lot of shift dresses and clothes with a boyish fit. I think makeup artists wanted to bring out the femininity in the clothes and models. The best way to do that is with a statement eye.

If you're looking to try this trend at home I would encourage girls to do their homework: look at the runway shows and magazine editorials. Of course, these are going to be a little more stylized, but they're a great start. Try picking a favorite aspect of a look; the blue eyeshadow, the dramatic cat-eye or the rhinestone appliques and make it your own. You can always tame down a dramatic look with by using eye liner to give it depth. Don't be afraid of trying the brighter colors or even metallics. I've been using rust a lot lately and I think it's totally having a comeback.

Emily Vancamp - FASHION April 2013

emily vancamp

I love working with Emily! She's so cool and easy to get on with. We shot this cover story at Siren Studios in Hollywood. The hair inspiration for the cover look was full bodied waves with a great side swept bang; a very "cover worthy" style. After we shot a few cover looks in studio, photog James White decided that we should go for an edgier and more moody look for the inside shots. We moved the shooting location into the stairway of the studio which really lent to a more gritty vibe. We did a couple of hair looks there. The first look was kept down (kind of like the cover) but the texture was more piece-y and tousled and the wardrobe changed to a darker palette. Then we did a great up style, that they used on the inside. We all just LOVED the moody set up!

SWA hairstylist John D

Ashley Benson - Seventeen April 2013

ashley benson

Ashley's wardrobe for the Seventeen shoot was red, white and blue and very American. So, I thought it would be fun to go peaches-and-cream for her makeup. I used Chantelcaille Cheek Shade in Wind to create her skins peachy tone and finished the look off with Ashley's signature smokey eye. She looked pretty and friendly, perfect for a day shoot.  We shot at a ranch and I remember it was freezing that day. The whole crew was in down jackets and boots and Ashley was in cut-off shorts and tank tops. You'd never know from how happy she looks.

SWA makeup artist Mai Quynh.

Juno Temple - WONDERLAND Feb/March 2013

juno temple

Juno is so naturally cool!  She walked in with a gigantic coat on and the most amazing flowing wild red hair and I just wanted to spotlight her natural coolness! I used Fekkai COIFF Bouffant-Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel, which is my go-to product when I want to create a matte messy texture and volume at the same time.  Then I used my fingers to rough dry the product in with my fingers.  There was no brush used the whole day! Then I used my other favorite product which is ORIBE Dry Texturizing Spray all over from roots to ends.  It was a very overcast chilly Sunday morning and everyone was very sleepy and moving slow.  Then Juno walked in with a huge smile and her electric hair and it felt like the sun had just started to shine!

SWA hairstylist Aviva.

Hayden Panettiere, NYLON April 2013

hayden panettiere

The wardrobe from the Nylon shoot were very 80's; colorful and fun. I knew I wanted to do a raw/cool look for the makeup and focused a lot of attention on the eye. I used a lot of black eyeliner and elongated the eye using eye shadows. We left the rest of the face raw to make sure the look stayed young and fresh. I think it went great with the 80's glam clothes.

luke chamberlain throwback thursdays

Tomorrow night marks the return of NBC's Fashion Star and we can't wait to see the looks Nicole Richie has in store for Season 2. Starworks Artists hairstylist Luke Chamberlain knows the style maven well and worked with Richie during the taping of the reality show. For this week's Throwback Thursdays, we take a look at some of Chamberlain's red carpet looks for Richie and interview the coiffeur on his hair creations for Fashion Star.

THE CONSTELLATION: What's it like working on a show like Fashion Star?

LUKE CHAMBERLAIN: Working on Fashion Star was such an incredible experience. I found myself becoming more and more inspired everyday by the level of creative talent surrounding the show. 

TC: How do you keep Richie's look special for every episode? Is it a collaborative effort?

LC: Nicole is such a pleasure to work with, she brings so many great ideas to the table but loves to hear mine as well. We start with the dress and then bounce concepts off of each other until we find a perfect match. . 

TC: Nicole Richie is known for her fearless personal style. Should we expect to see any daring hair looks from her this season?

LC: This season you can expect a wide variety of hairstyles along with some amazing hair accessories from her House of Harlow collection.

TC: Reality television is notorious for it's long filming hours. What products do you use to guarantee Richie's hair keeps its glam?

LC: When working long days on set, one key element is to slowly build the products over time. It's much easier to add than to take away. I love Redken 23 hairspray for that exact reason. It has an ultra fine mist for total control, combined with the perfect amount of hold without being sticky or weighing the hair down.


Some of our favorite red carpet looks from Luke Chamberlain and Nicole Richie:

This 60's mod story was inspired by Andy Warhol and the factory girls. We also loved the Marc Jacobs spring 2013 runway look. To create the texture I used Bumble and bumble styling lotion along with some REDKEN Powder Grip.

Kevin Bacon, TV Guide - Jan 21-27 2013

kevin bacon

Kevin's character on The Following wears a dark blue suit. TV Guide wanted to reference that but wanted something more vivid. This Ovadia & Sons suit is the perfect, brilliant blue and made his eyes pop. No pun intended and if you've seen the show you'll know what I mean.

Menswear stylist Michael Fisher for Starworks Artists

Elle Fanning, BULLETT Magazine - Winter 2013

elle fanning

For this shoot, I wanted her eyes to be the main focus on her face. I wanted it to have a shiny, dewy texture. So I started with NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Bouthan. I mixed the two pink shadows and applied it on her eyelid, and then added Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream on top to make it glossy. The rest of her face, I kept minimal. I knew that the photographer [Pierre Debusschere] would photoshop a lot of graphics in (he's known for that), so I thought the glossy eye would add a nice soft texture to the pictures.

Makeup artist Mai Quynh for Starworks Artists.

Aubrey Plaza, ASOS Magazine - March 2013

aubrey plaza

This was a fun shoot day. The makeup was pretty natural besides a few bold lipstick changes, but it was the energy between Aubrey and photographer Danielle Levitt that was entertaining and fun to be around. They had us laughing all day!

Makeup artist Jenn Streicher for Starworks Artists

Bella Heathcote, 7 Hollywood - Fall/Winter 2013

bella heathcote

They wanted a Jean Shrimpton vibe for this shoot, which I love. So I played up her eyes by adding a little dimension in her crease using Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in 47 Dunes. I used the soft brown in her crease and smudged it along her lower lashes. Then I added  MAKE UP FOR EVER Eyeshadow in White 0 to her inner eyelid as a highlighter. This shadow is matte, so it gave a nice opaque white. I added a full strip of lashes from Ardell and then applied a few coats of YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara in High Density Black to her top and bottom lashes. Finally, I added Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink along her upper lash line. I used soft rosy nudes for her blush and lips.

Makeup artist Mai Quynh for Starworks Artists.

Dave Franco, Wonderland Magazine - February/March 2013

dave franco

Dave is always so easy to work with. Laid back, funny and easy on the eyes it doesn't take much to make him camera ready. I used the La Mer Tinted Moisturizer on his skin, a little lip balm, brush throw his brow and he is set. In his hair, just some Bumble & bumble sumotech for texture. That particular day was a sunny (warm out of the shade) winters day. We laughed and had fun taking pictures. Not a bad days work.

Makeup artist Adam Breuchaud for Starworks Artists

Emily Vancamp, Women's Health - February 2013

emily vancamp

I'm not really sure what my inspiration was I just wanted Emily's beautiful brown eyes to stand out. I had just received a bronzed eyeshadow palette from Tarte. It was perfect for Emily. So I built out the shadow so her eyes stood out and the gold in her eyes was picked up. I kept her cheeks warm with a Jouer blush and a Jouer gloss. She looked healthy and approachable. Just like Emily herself.

Makeup artist Stephen Sollitto for Starworks Artists

Gigi Hadid, GUESS Magazine - Spring/Summer 2013

guess cover

For the spring/summer 2013 guess campaign I had the good fortune to shoot in beautiful Bora Bora.  It wasn't hard to be inspired by this magical place and the stunningly gorgeous Gigi Hadid. Basically, before make up, Gigi and I would walk to the water and I would have her submerge her whole head in the ocean. I  set her hair in medium sized braids all over her head. After makeup and within minutes in the hot south pacific sun, her hair would be completely dry. I then shook out the braids and added a touch of Amika Sea Buckthorn Berry oil Treatment mostly to her ends. Super easy. 

(To achieve a similar look in the studio I would've used Bumble & bumble surf spray, a blow dryer then touched up a few strands with a 1 inch curling iron.)

Hairstylist John Ruggiero for Starworks Artists

Kid Cudi, COMPLEX Magazine - February 2013

kid cudi

The shoot was fashioned after a "futuristic rebirth" - I loved working with Scott aka "Cudi." I have been a fan of his for many years. We had a super successful shoot - we shot several different setups and he and I love vintage as well as Balmain - needless to say we had an awesome DJ on set - what a fun day. It has been a career goal of mine for 5 years now to work with Kid Cudi. Mission accomplished!

Fashion stylist Jenny Ricker for Starworks Artists

Hailee Steinfeld, FASHION Magazine - March 2013

Hailee had just had her sweet sixteen birthday party.  It was fun to hear the details of a young girls birthday party and then turn around and see her in high fashion dresses, looking quite glamorous.
