Backstage Beauty: Vena Cava

Vena Cava’s spring 2010 show brought together MAC makeup artist Lloyd Simmonds and Beauty.com hairstylist Ted Gibson, where together they created a sophisticated yet updated look to compliment the collection nicely. With the use of black visors and dark sunglasses, Gibson stayed away from an “uptight ballerina ponytail” and went for a textured one instead, showing off the girl’s “duel personalities,” while Simmonds created a violet lip (can we mention he made the shade himself!) for a graphic feel to balance out the look.

With both artists calling these looks completely wearable, here’s a step by step guide on how to recreate both the hair and makeup looks from the show. [Click to continue reading…]
