The third show that Lancome did during New York Fashion Week was the L'Wren Scott show. As some of you know, it was the third time we worked with L'Wren. Aaron De Mey, our artistic director for makeup, worked with hair stylist Odile Gilbert on the beauty look for the show. Aaron created a dozen custom eye shadows for the show and each corresponded to a different fabric shade (blue, purple, gold, green, red...). Odile then took the eye shadows and painted the part of each model's hair to match her shadow color. By the end of the show, everyone was calling it "hairliner." (I think L'Wren came up with the name!)
L'Wren wanted two different nail polishes for the show. As one of the colors, she used the sparkly red (above) from her upcoming holiday collection for Lancome. (More on this in the weeks to come. It's very exciting!) For the second shade, she asked Lancome to create a brilliant shimmery orange inspired by the Serengeti sunset. I didn't get a good picture of it to share with you, but I'm checking with the other photographers backstage. It's a gorgeous color.
The lip is a mix of Color Design lipstick in Oh My and Juicy Tubes in Touched by Light. Aaron also used the new Teint Miracle foundation (which I'm obsessed with!) and Hypnose Drama mascara.
We're working to see if we can do the eye shadows and the nail polish as a special set for Spring 2011. Stay tuned!
Thanks to L'Wren and her team for a wonderful show. It's always a thrill to work with talented designers who love makeup as much as we do! Make sure to check out the collection on Style.com.
