Oscar de la Renta
Senior Beauty Editor Celia Ellenberg's take:
If the hair at Oscar de la Renta jogged your memory, that's because you've seen it before—two seasons ago at Marc Jacobs. "We're wrapping the hair around long pins in a zigzag pattern," Orlando Pita explained of the classic rickracking technique before clamping strands with a hot iron, releasing them, then brushing them out for a fluffy finish.
What was unique about the style's appearance this time around was precisely that it appeared at Oscar de la Renta at all. "I'm just happy he wanted something different," said Pita, who has been in charge of the classic ladies-who-lunch updos and blowouts that more often than not debut here (Spring 2011's fabric-wrapped Heidi braids being the one, outstanding exception). Pita's version of the seventies style also featured a middle part that he used to create two front sections, which he pulled back and pinned underneath a top layer of fuzz. "It's young, fresh, and romantic," he continued, referencing Renaissance paintings and Stevie Nicks, a name that isn't typically bandied about backstage at one of de la Renta's shows, either.
The references to the Fleetwood Mac front woman ended there (much to our chagrin) as Revlon global artistic director Gucci Westman took the makeup reins. "It's all about the skin," Westman said, prepping complexions with Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream and its Regenerating Serum so that Revlon's Age Defying Spa Illuminator in Pink Light and its Illuminance Crème Shadow in Not Just Nude melted right in. A combination of Revlon's Matte Eye Shadow in Rich Sable and its forthcoming Eye Shadow in Moonlit was layered onto lids, which were then dotted with the clear gloss from Westman's limited-edition gloss palette in Bordeaux in the Snow and lined with Revlon Grow Luscious Lash Liner in Espresso for definition. Westman used its Brow Fantasy in Dark Blonde and Brunette to strengthen arches before brushing them up. "There's a lot of color in the collection," Westman pointed out, "so we just wanted to keep it simple."
