Okay, even if you didn’t get with the Viva Glam program a few months ago, you’re going to love the Fall offerings so much more (we certainly do). The Viva Glam superstars, Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper, have teamed up with MAC Cosmetics to create two new limited-edition Lipglass ($14.50) and Viva Glam bags ($28 each):

Viva Glam Lipglass Cyndi

Viva Glam Lipglass Gaga

The lipglass shades of Mid Tone Dirty Coral (Lauper’s color) and the Light Blue Pink (Gaga’s color) will enhance the shade of the lipstick you wear. All you need are a few smooth swipes over your lips — before your pucker screams sexy. In addition to the debut of the lipglass, MAC is unveiling these two sleek bags that are so party perfect:

Every dollar of the sales goes to the MAC AIDS Fund, so your good heart can rest easy. Seize the moment, girls, on September 2^nd!

It’s color without compromise, texture with spunk and PUNK. The makeup was done by Philip for MAC Cosmetics, who described the look as a tiny part punk, a tiny part tribal, but mostly beautiful as a 1970′s movie star.

He smudged Pro Pigment in Chocolate Brown on the upper lids, but dotted the lower lash line with Flat Orange and Electric Coral to get a sheer wash of color, as opposed to a stripe. After mixing bright cream blushes on the back of his hand, Philip gently applied it to models’ cheeks for a fresh pink flush. He reminds us that when it comes to cream blushes, it’s a good idea to go brighter and bolder since a pigment that looks too bright in the packaging will wear sheer on the skin. By blotting on lipsticks such as Smoked Purple and Red Pepper, Philip gave the models a simple matte stain for their lips.

Unique makeup requires unique hair, so Roland Beachamp prepped models’ hair with Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder in White to matte it down and give it texture at the same time, then braided tiny sections on each side of the face, but left some locks loose. After gathering the back part of the hair into an unfussy bun, Beachamp left one medium-sized braid down the back, then covered the head with a bright wrap.

Daniel Martin of Lancome created the look , along with Chris and calls it Gothic Chic. He went for a brown lip, very 90s, but made more modern. To get that lip he used a brow pencil and then a new for fall bronze lipstick. He explains the brow pencil technique in my video, posted separately.

We have been seeing and he agreed, that this is an upcoming trend possibly. An also new for fall eyeshadow was used and the blush is one of my all time favorites- Cappucine.

The full look:

– Lancôme Ombre Magnétique in Black (NEW for Fall 2010)
– Lancôme Color Design Eye Shadow in Guest List
– Lancôme Le Stylo Waterproof EyeLiner in Noir
– Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara in Excessive Black
– Lancôme Le Crayon Poudre brow pencil in Sable (used as lip liner)
– Lancôme Color Design Matte lipstick in Bronze Show (available in mid-March, exclusively at Macy’s)
– Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Hallucination
– Lancôme Photôgenic Lumessence foundation
– Shu Uemura Sheer loose powder
– Lancôme Blush Subtil in Mauve Coquette
– Lancôme Blush Subtil in Cappuccine (for the contour)
– Lancôme nail polish in Sweet Nude (part of a mini trio, new for fall)

Hair and Nails: Editorial manicurist Ana Maria used Lancôme’s new polish in Sweet Nude on hands and feet, and Redken stylist John Ruidant wove intricately braided updos .

This season, the backstage beauty showcased a very flowing, loose flowing hair that was more gritty in texture (think elegant and disheveled … a bedhead-inspired mass of strands that still could be paired with elegant cocktail dresses and evening gowns).

The hair was done by Jordan M for Bumble and Bumble, the makeup by Sarah Tanno for MAC Cosmetics, and Pattie Yankee of Dashing Diva for the nails. In keeping with the raw elegance theme, Pattie Yankee created a gritty, animalistic texture for the nails and pressed on Chrome nails with an appliqué of crushed glass glitter in black and silver for some fierce added texture.

Tadashi’s clothes were inspired by Mother Earth, as seen from an airplane window. Hence the silver dresses, browns, greens and punches of colors in the clothes. “The textures and the pleatings are all inspired by the Earth,” says Tadashi. “Everything is wearable.”

Rodney Cutler, who did the hair for Tadashi, says the look for the show was very simple – it’s all about a pretty and beautiful girl. The hair is not too sticky, but has a bounce. “We are going to see trends to very simple hair,” says Cutler. If you remember, the hair trends for Spring 2010 had that Marie Antoinette pouff at times and that complex texturized ponytail. It’s time to loosen things up.

Luc Bouchard for MAC Cosmetics did a very simple look. Since the dresses are so beautiful, Tadashi wanted a very simple contrast in the look. Luc did a very intense eye, and used three colors of blush to give the cheeks some flush.The lashes are not curled, but there is more mascara on top than the bottom.

Nanette Lepore Fall 2010 Backstage Beauty

But this was precisely the beauty trompe l’oeil at Lepore’s Fall 2010 collection.

When she powwowed with her the hair and makeup stylists for her Fall 2010 show, Nanette Lepore brought a visual aide: a Renaissance painting. Makky for MAC and Esther Langham for Moroccan Oil let it guide their creative decisions for the show. After creating the now-standard perfect matte canvas of the face, Makky gave models a smoky eye with Eye Kohl in Smolder on the top lid as well as the inside rims and finished off with Zoom Mascara.

He painted on a two-tone lip with pink lip pencil and an as yet unreleased pink lipstick on the the top lip and smoothed on burgundy lip pencil and a mixture of Odyssey and Charred Red lipstick on the bottom. This technique works, Makky explained, because the pink on the top lip contains a hint of burgundy itself.

Langham mixed together the Moroccan Oil Oil Treatment and Intense Curl Cream and applied it to the models’ hair before using curling irons to create tight ringlets from a side part. After spraying on a layer of Luminous Hair Spray, coming this March to the Moroccan Oil line, Langham brushed the hair out so it fell in loose, romantic waves. For some models, Langham stopped here, but for others, she finger-combed hair back into a loose braid, then rolled the braid up and pinned it at the nape of the neck. After a final shot of the Glimmer Shine Spray, the models were cat-walk ready.

Yesterday, the makeup look for the show was done by Kabuki for MAC Cosmetics and the look was very jungle princess. The nails were done by CND Co-founder Jan Arnold, along with talented nail artists Roxanne Valinoti, Angi Wingle, and Kristina Estabrooks.

Kabuki was inspired by Marlene Dietrich in the movie Blonde Venus who epitomized a chic yet glitzy glamor. The focus was on concealer on the eyes and false lashes to give a feathery, almost winged effect.The eyes were lined in Eye Kohl and MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack.

The cheeks were dusted in Pink Swoon and Salsa Rose Blush, and the lips wore Cherry Lip Pencil with a bronze or coppery pigment on them.

Studio Fix Lash Mascara & groomed brows finished this look. Skin had a very clean finish and cheeks were natural. Lips were erased and toned down with foundation to make the eyes the center of attention. Going for a gentle yet hardcore look, Tom Pecheux took his inspiration from the Altazurra collection – the clothes are so powerful that he wanted to create a makeup look that took a back seat to the collection, letting the clothes shine.

Laurent Philipino created a simple hair look. Messy, no brush and elastic showing were key elements to this look. Hair was pulled back and the only product used was Bumble & Bumble Prep.

The nail look by Indigo Smith for Zoya was also simple and aimed at making the collection center stage – nails were simple, sophisticated and natural.

The Zoya Colors used were Loretta (a sheer pink); Corrine (beige); Vivienne (a light nude–this color is great for a French manicure base).
