Rachel Comey: Get The Look

Yes, NYFW is in full swing and below are the looks from Rachel Comey's show last night. James Pecis for Beauty.com on Hair, Romy Soleimani for Beauty.com on both Skincare and Makeup and Nonie Creme for Colour Prevails on Nails! What a great team I must say, simply wonderfully creative indeed!

RACHEL COMEY

Hair: James Pecis for Beauty.com using PHYTO
Makeup: Romy Soleimani for Beauty.com using bareMinerals
Skincare: Romy Soleimani for Beauty.com using Jurlique
Nails: Nonie Creme using Colour Prevails

INSPIRATION: Desert, Post-Apocalyptic Warrior

GET THE LOOK: HAIR

· Prep the hair with Phytovolume Actif Volumizing Spray and rough dry it in. The goal is to get added volume and texture into the hair.

· Roughly go through the hair section by section, adding in the Phyto Professional Matte Texturizing Paste. This will give the hair the tackiness to hold the look together.

· Divide the hair into five sections: one at the top, one on each side and two in the back.

· Within each of these sections, pull the hair back and tie the hair into square knots. The result will look like a knot-braid, which will be secured with an elastic hair band at the end.

· Finish by misting Phytolaque Soie Hairspray to keep in place.


GET THE LOOK: SKINCARE


· Prep the skin by lightly misting the Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mistto tone. Apply a layer of the Jurlique Calendula Redness Rescue Soothing Moisturizing Cream moisturizer on the skin. Prep the lips by dabbing on the Jurlique Rose Love Balm.

· Additional product for addressing specific skincare concerns per model include: Jurlique Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil, Jurlique Rose Moisture Replenishing Day Cream, Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Eye Serum, Jurlique Purely Bright Eye Correcting Cream, Jurlique Lavender Silk Finishing Powder.


GET THE LOOK: MAKEUP


· To create a smooth and perfect canvas, apply the bareMinerals Pure Brightening Serum Foundation to the skin, followed by a dusting of the bareMinerals Original Foundation.

· Color in the brows with the bareMinerals Frame & Define Brow Styler. Use the built-in brush to groom the brows upwards.

· To lightly mute the lips, apply a little foundation on top of the Jurlique Rose Love Balm.

· LOOK 1

To create the graphic black/messy and “lived-in” eye look, apply the bareMinerals Round the Clock Intense Cream-Glide Eyeliner over the entire eye lid and extend slightly outward into a wing. This is meant to appear messy and move around a bit.

Apply multiple coats of the bareMinerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara on the top lashes.

· LOOK 2
Lightly dust the bareMinerals Ready Bronzer that’s mixed with a taupe shade from the bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 8.0 Palette in Power Neutrals in the crease to create a soft halo of color. Then create graphic shapes using the bareMinerals Blue Eyecolor Eyeshadow in Snowflake while wet and bareMinerals Lasting Line Long-Wearing Eyeliner in black in the corner of the eyes.

· LOOK 3

On one eye, use the bareMinerals Liner Shadow in Onyx wet with the very fine tipped bareMinerals Gorgeous Glide Liner Brush to wrap around the eye into a wing, also bringing it to a point in the inner corner and slightly under the bottom inner corner. No mascara will be used for this look.

Use bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Liner in Energized to create a line above black liner.

On the other eye apply the black liner, extending both inward and outward, and then use the peach- tone to add a circle under the eye for a pop of abstract color.

· LOOK 4

This very natural looks was created by using a mix of the bareMinerals Ready Bronzer and taupe shades from bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 8.0 Palette in Power Neutrals for subtle definition on the eyes and cheeks.


GET THE LOOK: NAILS

· The manicures will have a lighter custom blend of Nonie Creme Colour Prevails Nail Lacquer in Frenemy and Nonie Creme Colour Prevails Nail Lacquer in Wardrobe Staple while the pedicures will have a darker blend.

More from Nonie Creme Colour Prevails

As you know, meeting Nonie was a highlight just a few weeks ago as not only does she have an incredibly luxuriously affordable new line but she is also such  a sweet soul! 

Available now at the Duane Reade 40 Wall Street location and also at Walgreens.com and Drugstore.com, this line is vast and gives you a lot of opportunities to mix and match throughout the beauty categories. 


Pictured above are the Smoky & Smudgy and Marvelous Mattes Watercolour Wer/Dry Eye Shadow Palettes ($19 each). 

I already owned the Nude & Neutral palette so was delighted to try these. Their pigments are great and the mattes are truly matte! I like that Nonie suggests a good proof color combination for a look she believes in on the top of the palette

You can use the colors wet or dry and there is a brush in the center of the palette. It helps to define the eyes as I often use my fingers!

Please take a look at this line as there are lippy's, mascaras, glosses, foundations, etc. that are colorful, long wearing and practical.

Introducing Nonie Creme Colour Prevails

First, I must say how lovely and kind Nonie Creme was as I squealed with excitement by merely looking at her new cosmetic line. Nonie is an industry icon as well as a celebrated manicurist. I featured her collection backstage at quite a few shows and was delighted at the creative looking brand.

It is my love of art that drew me to the line as the packaging and variety of colors within the beauty categories are both vast and colorful. Just look at all of the butterfly wings in her designs. To know these will be rolling out in Walgreen's, Duane Reade, Walgreens.com and Drugstore.com is even more exciting as the public will be able to get Colour Prevails at many locations. With that being said, it is also a luxurious, affordable collection!

There are WaterColour Wer/Dry Eye Shadow Palettes ($19 each) that contain 8-10 colors and is in the shape of a butterfly wing. STUNNING!

Her Eye Calligraphy & Precision Painter ($9) has a patented, ergonomically designed applicator that was created to keep your hand steady and allows for a precise line.

The Lash Ombre Mascara ($13) was created to enhance your eye color without contacts! It actually gives you a burst of color near your iris and leaves the tips long and dark for an ombre effect. There are 6 color combinations!

Below you see the Lip Design Sheer Colour/Line Duo ($12) in Red Apple as well as the Eye Design Shadow/Liner Duo ($12) in Wine/Black.



There are also thirty five Nail Lacquer & Precision Painter ($8 each) custom mixed polishes! They are five free and mixed by Nonie, herself. 

I cannot tell you how excited this brand/collection has made me since first seeing Nonie behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week. Be on the lookout for this glorious brand as I can tell it will soon become a cult favorite...
