MAKEUP LOOK

“There were ‘20s-era vintage images on Thakoon’s mood board,” said Kendal. “While there was something very fragile about them, the eyes were deep and cheeks were blushed. We made the look modern, and more off-beat, with shades of brown to create depth in the eyes. The blush is lower on the face rather than on the cheekbone, like a painting.”

HAIR by Odile Gilbert for Kérastase Paris

Overall look: Romantic, Modern Waves

Steps:

Create a middle part and prep hair with Nectar Thermique

Section by section from mid-lengths to ends, spray hair with Double Force Controle Ultime and use a three-barrel iron to create crimp-like waves

Weave bobby pins in a horizontal pattern at the back of the head

Apply an ample amount of Elixir Ultime The Imperial at the top of the head to create an extreme wet look (Tip: for a more everyday style, apply a pea-sized amount of oil to the head for a natural shine)

Tie the bottom of the length with a small black elastic and finish with more Double Force Controle Ultime to keep the look in place

Kérastase Products Used To Get the Look:

Nectar Thermique – leave-in, nourishing heat protectant for dry hair that provides optimal shine from roots to ends

Double Force Controle Ultime – extra strength, multi-protective hairspray, which helps to strengthen the hair fiber

Elixir Ultime The Imperial (NEW!) – versatile, beautifying hair oil formulated with Oléo-Complexe and Imperial Tea extract to protect the hair fiber and keep color-treated hair shiny and radiant.
