“Brigitte Bardot was a starting point, but we’re not teasing the hair,” said Orlando Pita of the bombshell-inspired blow-outs at Diane von Furstenberg. To keep the style from looking too literal, the pro used a combination of root lifter (creating volume with a round ceramic brush), dry shampoo, and texturizing powder to create major body—roughing up strands at the crown with his fingers to lend a bedhead-y texture. “When you use so much product, it becomes big but is still airy and light. This isn’t just a big head of extensions,” he noted.
Makeup maestro Pat McGrath skipped the referential wings of liquid liner and opted for a “very easy, soft smoky eye.” Black and brown liner pencils were smudged around the eyes for definition, then diffused with brown shadow and a series of tapered brushes for a more subtle effect. “It’s sultry and sexy but still fresh,” the face painter noted. We love a throwback that keeps up with the times.
