It was a nice change of pace from the NYFW headquarters at Lincoln Center to check out a new venue – Pier 94. After taking a peek at the Diesel Black Gold Spring 2012 collection it was evident that the ginormous warehouse was the perfect venue for their show. The clothes had a utilitarian feel with a heavy emphasis on metallics. In contrast, the hair and makeup with loose ponytails and fresh faces hinted at a sexy beach vibe.
To recreate loose, sexy waves that you get when going to the beach, Redken's lead stylist Guido used Guts Volume Spray Foam throughout damp hair and allowed to air dry. Afterwards, Guido made a low ponytail and purposely took out a few strands for the desired look. CoverGirl lead makeup artist, Pat McGrath, took things back to the supermodel era with the likes of Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington. She achieves the look with a shimmery gold eyeshadow around the eyes and bronzed glow on the cheeks with nude lips. For a lasting effect, McGrath used Covergirl Intense Shadow Blast in beige blaze.
