New York Fashion Week – Hair, Nails and Makeup for Jenny Packham Spring 2014 Collection

Designer: Jenny Packham

Hair

Stylist: Jeanie Syfu for TRESemme

Inspiration: The Jenny Packham Spring 2014 Collection  is loosely influenced by the 70’s Australian cult classic, “Picnic At Hanging Rock,” a beautifully haunting story about a group of boarding school girls who are taken on a picnic to Hanging Rock, mysteriously wander off in a trance and disappear. (Sounds like Molly was involved.) To translate this into runway hair, Syfu fused bold 70’s waves with romantic texture and volume.

How To:

1. Apply TRESemme Thermal Creations Mousse liberally and blow-dry with a Mason Pearson brush.
2. Spray TRESemme Thermal Creations Curl Activator Spray (no jheri) on each section and curl hair with a smaller iron at nape, medium-sized barrel from the ears to crown and 1″ barrel iron on top.
3. Once cooled, take pins out and tease hair from roots working your way down to ends to lift curls and create texture.
4. Spray with TRESemme 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray for long-lasting volume and touchable hold.
5. As a finishing touch, clamp a barrette above the temple to secure the style in place. Voila!

Nails

Manicurist:   Gina Edwards for  Essie

Inspiration:  Mystical fantasy. A  1900s Edwardian era  fairytale  with a 70’s feel.

How To: You’ll need four Essie  colors.

1. Apply a coat of  Eternal Optimist  
2. Tone it down by applying a coat of Allure (great layering tool).
3. Next up: glitter! A Cut Above (pink glitter) is layered under Set in Stones (silver glitter). Starting at cuticle, the glitter is lightly dabbed so that there is a trickle down effect that slowly fades away.

Makeup

Makeup Artist:   Talia Shobrook for  Laura Mercier

Inspiration: Combining a “flush of innocence with a hint of naughtiness,” the look is skin focused with a youthful, fresh, ethereal vibe. Glitter was again the focal point as it highlighted the model’s eyes.

How To:

1. Prep the skin with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, then apply Laura Mercier Creme Cheek Colour in Sunrise.
2. Apply Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer – Oil Free Broad Spectrum SPF Sunscreen all over the face.
3. Conceal minor skin imperfections using Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage.
4. Apply Laura Mercier Foundation Primer – Radiance to the T-Zone.
5. Dab lips with Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Colour in Spiced Rose and Pink Blush.
6. Apply a thick layer of Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sterling.
7. Fill in your brows using Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil.
8. Apply one swipe of Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara, keeping the lashes very subtle.

Pro Tip For Using Glitter: To pick up errant  glitter, use a clean mascara wand and press it down on skin. It will pick it right up!
