Going Glam at L.A.M.B.

L.A.M.B - Gwen Stefani - New York Fashion Week Spring 2010

L.A.M.B.'s spring look was characterized by a 2010 take on decades past: '50s redux through an '80s lens. Donald Simrock for MAC created bold futuristic eyes by first using a white eye pencil as a base to brighten a layer of blue liquid liner on top. "Without using the white underneath, the blue would read as too dark--almost as black, so the white pencil brightens the color," explained Simrock. Lashes were defined with MAC Dazzle Lash. Lips were colored with a fresh take on nude. Simrock blended a semi-matte black lipstick with a nude one to create a greyed-off modern nude hue.

Pattie Yankee for Dashing Diva used a white polish on rounded-square shaped nails with no top coat for a semi-matte finish. Toes were adorned with a combination of Red Carpet and New York Slice Dashing Diva shades.

Danilo for Pantene created a scupturesque hair concept inspired by Gwen's tomboy spirit. Said Danilo, "Because the clothes are so sheer, dreamy and feminine, to pair them with sweet hair would just be... gross." I agree. To temper the sweetness, Danilo toughened up hair with an updo with lots of volume in the front and on top. The sides were pulled back into a knot. The undone texture in front was reminiscent of the men's hairstyles in Grease. Very "a hickey from Kenickie is like a Hallmark card." Danilo's budget hair tip: Invest in a Sonia Kashuk brush. She created one with a mixture of natural and plastic bristles that works just as well as a Mason Pearson, but costs a mere $19 at Target.
