Glamazons,
It was love at first sight when I laid eyes on the beauty looks from the Honor Spring/Summer 2014 runway show at New York Fashion Week. The whimsical ponytails, barely-there makeup and pointed nails with girly details were refreshingly feminine, but not in a childlike or girlish way.
Of course, the trendy folks at Beauty.com are behind this look. Romy Soleimani created the makeup look and James Pecis executed the hair.
Inspiration:
Here’s what the Honor designer Giovanna Randall said was the inspiration for this dainty beauty look:
“For Spring 2014, I was imagining fireflies in a forest of birch trees at the darkest hour before the dawn. I was thinking about transitions and the idea that the end of something is always the beginning of something else.”
Get The Look:
HAIR
The look? A dry, textured and tousled, yet shiny and healthy loose ponytail that is representative of a girl rolling freely in a field of flowers.
-Blow dry hair using T3Featherweight Luxe 2i while spraying PHYTO Phytovolume Actif Volumizer Spray on the roots in layers to prep the hair.
-Create a side part and before applying heat, use PHYTO Phytokeratine thermal protectant spray as a heat protectant (available on Beauty.com this fall).
-Curl hair using the T3 SinglePass Twirl Curling Iron and set individual pieces into pin curls.
-Unpin curls and brush them out into loose waves, securing with an elastic.
-Finish look with PHYTO Professional Workable Holding Spray.
