The nails were then filed down to a natural length with a rounded shape.

Red lipstick was brushed into the models’ eyebrows and their skin was given a beautiful all-over clean look using Skin Tint Creme and concealer with Perfecting Powder.

Rolando Santana

Rolando Santana‘s inspiration was the artwork of Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco. Romero used this inspiration to create a feminine look while including architectural elements; a woman warrior. Romero Jennings for MAC Cosmetics created a new take on the smoky eye, pushing the smokiness into the temple. The focus was the eyes and the eyebrows; the look tailored for each model. For the most part, the face was kept matte with the exception of a highlight above the cheeks. Concealer was used on the lips to keep a neutral lip.

Products:
Blacktrack Fluidline
Carbon Eyeshadow
Black 3D Glitter
Vanilla Pigment

Get the Look:
1. Use Blacktrack Fluidline and apply on the lids to create a shape.
2. Apply Carbon on top of the Blacktrack to help blend the color out.
3. Fill in eyebrows were and add concealer on the brow bone.
4. Apply Black 3D Glitter on the lid.

“Rolando Santana‘s collection for A/W 2014 is pushing the boundaries of wearing and interpreting prints, textures and embellishments. Newly charged with mystery and sophistication.” For Rebecca Isa, Creative Director of Zoya, working with Rolando Santana was effortless. “Rolando’s vision was clear.” And that vision was to incorporate texture and contrast within the nail design. Opaque, sparkly and matte. Oh my! The colors chosen for the nails emulated the color palette of Rolando‘s Fall 2014 Collection: cream and black.

The colors used to create this look:

Lola, black glitter
Malu, black matte
Pina, opaque cream

Get the Look:

1. Apply a thin coat of Lola all over the nail. Work the color from the corner to the center (Right to center, left to center).
2. Apply two coats of Pina.
3. Last, apply Malu on top of Lola.

Georgine

The inspiration for the collection was Hamlet; Gina Edwards for Morgan Taylor wanted to take the dark story and add a youthful twist. Edwards was influenced by the layering of fabric within the collection “lace, fun.” Edwards applied two coats of Seal the Deal, a beautiful, shimmery aubergine. The color is captivating when the light hits it, showing the shimmery reflections.
