NYFW S/S '10: Temptu @ MAX AZRIA

Temptu @ Max Azria
French fashion genius Max Azria is known for his very chic and classic look. His Spring 2010 collection is a eflection of his timeless style, focusing on clean lines and shapes reminiscent of architectural and geometric designs.Butler took a minimalistic approach to the makeup, using an airbrush as her central makeup tool to create a fresh, dewy glow with little bursts of fleshy color. "Each girl has a unique look and I wanted to allow the models to maintain their own natural beauty by not looking too made up," she said. Recine used the geometric designs of the collection to inspire a simple, rigid ponytail that appeared effortlessly styled. The look was about natural freshness as opposed to absolute perfection, so he didn't labor over fly-aways or a little frizz.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All products by Barex. Apply Serum to revitalize hair. "The hair of the models has endured a lot of damage at this point in fashion week and the serum does wonders to rejuvinate the hair," said Recine. Pull your hair back into a simple ponytail at the nape of your neck and use a flat iron to straighten it. Once the hair is in the pony, use a light Gloss hairspray to prime the hair and then apply a small amount of Gloss mousse to put slight tension on the roots. Finally, finish by gently smoothing hair with a dab of Tricolife serum for luster.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Temptu. Use a little concealer to even out skin tone but no foundation. Then use Air Pod Highlighter in Champagne to highlight the inner corners of eyes. Control the pressure of the AIRrbrush makeup system so it's very high. This will give the skin a beautiful and healthy glow. Choose specific places on the face to which you'd like to draw attention, and shade them with the highlighter. (ex. the bow of the lips or the bridge of the nose.) The highlights will create an elegant contrast of color on the face while avoiding shadows. Apply clear mascara on the eyebrows for sleek, gentle definition, and leave lips and lashes bare.
