MBFWA 2015: Best Beauty From Day

1. Daniel Avakian
The secret to that glowing skin? Each model was treated to a mini Clarisonic facial to ensure her complexion was fresh and clean. Then, Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation was applied for a dewy finish, followed by a dusting of Belle de Teint 04 bronzer on the cheekbones for soft contouring and definition.

To adequately show off the new swim range, St Tropez Instant Wash-Off Tan was buffed into skin, and topped off with Skin Illuminator in Gold on collarbones, tops of the shoulders, and down the shins for a warm, just-back-from-St-Barts glow. With the focus on the tan, MAC artist Nicole Thompson kept skin radiant with Face & Body Foundation and bronzer, worked down the neck and décolletage for a seamless finish, while a mix of KMS Silk Sheen and Hair Play was used on hair for polished, cool-girl texture.

Effortless, easy, elegant – it’s the hair of your dreams. Here’s how to get the look.
• On dry hair, spray Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Primer, which acts as a heat protectant and speeds up blow-drying time.
• Apply plenty of Rootful 06 Root Lifting Spray, follow with Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam directly on the roots, then blow-dry using your fingers to maintain natural movement.
• Starting at the ends and working up, brush hair with a padded styling brush to further amp up the volume.
• Divide hair into three sections and curl the mid-lengths around the barrel of a curling tong, keeping the last two inches straight. Curl the front side sections away from the face, and alternate the direction of the curls on the back section.
• Run your fingers through to separate and create loose, natural-looking waves, and finish with Wind Blown 05 Dry Finishing Spray for a windswept effect.

The hair had a Veronica Lake vibe – long, lush and wavy, it was swept low across the eye and cascading over one shoulder – while the makeup mantra was softly polished. Exhibit A: brows were bold and bushy, but a lighter MAC Brow Pencil was used to ensure they weren’t too defined.
