Walking into Backstage for Lela Rose I felt like I stepped into a time machine – bordeaux lips and finger waved hair.

Makeup: Stila, Sarah Lucera

Inspiration: Vintage; Old Hollywood

The look begins with polished skin using Stila’s Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer and perfecting concealer. It is important to perfect the skin, leaving an even, flawless canvas. Light taupe/brown colors are applied to the eyes; diffused leaving no harsh lines. The finale was a merlot power lip. Daring Long Wear lip color was mixed with a the brown smudge pot to achieve the deep vino lips.

Hair: Provided by Ted Gibson, Head, Devin Toth

Inspiration: Keeping with the flow of things – the hair was inspired by Hollywood Glam. A more modern look was approached and the hair was gathered in a low ponytail. The side part was accessorized with french bobby pins and finger waves; being held into place with Definite Hold Hairspray.

Nails: Deborah Lippman

A dark rich army green was applied to the nails – the color was bordering black and had a gleam of green.
