LA Fashion Week- Hair Backstage at Julia Clancey

The hairstyle at Julia Clancey LA Fashion Week Fall 2008  was created by Sean James, hair stylist for L’Oreal Proffesionnel at Fred Segal.


Hairstylist Sean James and Marta at Talking Makeup.

The look is a 1940’s-1950’s inspired updo. The effect from the back is a bit of a ‘cleavage’ making this hairstyle extra sexy.

According to Sean James this updo can last for days and even a week with minimum upkeep. Sean James’ must-have product to achieve the hairstyle at Juila  is: Infinium 2 Regular Hold Working Spray by L’Oreal Professionnel

Lori was kind enough to share with Talking Makeup some of the details behind the makeup look at Julia Clancey. Eyes are smokey not in black but in brown, using Smashbox Cream Eye Liner in Putty (medium brown), $22. The eye liner is used to create a take off of a cat eye which is softer, more round and fluid. Cheeks are glowy and highlighted. Lips are blood red, using Smashbox Photo Finish Lipstick with Sila-Silk Technology in Legendary, $22.

Milly New York Fall 2008 Fashion Week

Makeup for Milly’s fall 2008 fashion week was done by Romy Soleimani.  Hair style was highly stylized, tight, almost frizzy waves.

So Romy Soleimani matched the Parisian hair with a very soft red lip that was matted and made sheer to the point of being almost pale. Call it “modern red.”  Other facial element besides concealer was a bit of a black eyeliner at the edges of the eye, done with a pencil and a pigment, and extended out.  The cheeks were clean.  (Source: MAC trend report).

Monique Lhuillier New York Fall 2008 Fashion Week

Makeup artist for Monique Lhuillier’s Fall 2008 collection was done by Val Garland. The look was-full court, all color eye socket.

Shades: pigment in heavy grey blue, inky blue, purple, and burgundy.  “It’s quite reflective.” Said Val. “Quite liquidy.”  The rest of the face was neutral bare, with a sheer vino lip.  A dramatic look to equal the dark dramatic  gowns and cocktail dresses in Monique Lhuillier fall collection.  (Source: MAC Trend Report).
