"The look was classic 60’s," reports Vanessa. "Well-defined eyes with lots of lashes, a strong brow and clean skin with subtle pink/coral cheeks and lips."
To start, Vanessa evened out Ashley’s "nearly flawless skin" with Lancôme's Effacernes Concealer in Light Bisque underneath the eyes. "It gives clean, fresh, flawless coverage," she said. Bobbi Brown’s Foundation Stick followed. Lancôme's Blush Subtil in Shimmer Pink Pool topped the apples of the cheeks.
For Ashley’s dramatic eyes, Vanessa swept YSL’s Fard Lumiére Aquarésistant Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Sands over the entire eye. To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa used Lancôme's Artliner in Black and lined the inner rims with Shu Uemura's Painting Liner in White. The finishing touch: a few generous coats of Lancôme's Ôscillation Mascara in Black for "seductively lengthy lashes," says Vanessa.
Ashley’s brows were sculpted with Lancôme's Le Crayon Poudre in Brunet. Finally, Lancôme's hot new lipstick from the Pout-á-Porter series -L’Absolu Rouge in Chris & Tell - made a sneak peek appearance. The gorgeous hue, which was created for designer Chris Benz’s Spring show, will be available in February 2010. The Chris & Tell waiting list is open at the Saks Fifth Avenue New York counter. Call 212.940.2033 to be added to the waiting list.
