James Kaliardos, for MAC, was inspired by technology and nature for the beauty
look at Nicole Miller. The focal point was the eye, a “soft smoky” blend of four
purple shades from MAC’s Spoiled Rich palette — launching in the spring — housed
in “Archie”-comics-inspired packaging. “I’m trying to restrain myself this
season,” said Kaliardos, who used Haute & Naughty Too Black on lashes. “I’m
using color in a natural way.” To give skin contour and highlight, he utilized
Prep + Prime Highlighter pens, Taupe Shape Blush, new for spring, and Mineralize
Moisture SPF 15 Foundation, which launches in fall 2013. Lips were kept neutral,
with Posh Tone Mineralize Lipstick, also new for fall 2013.
Hair was kept “futuristic and modern,” with a feeling of “things moving faster,” according to the lead stylist, Kevin Ryan, who parted hair in the center, then applied Aveda Volumizing Tonic before infusing two tight “Avatar”-referencing fishtails, which Ryan said “feel like zippers.” Hair that “wanted to fall” was pinned back, and the remaining style was straightened and left to fall along the neckline. “It’s a nod to graphics,” said Ryan, who used tiny black elastics from Ricky’s NYC to hold his intricate braids.
Nails were given a “galaxy glam manicure” by Candice Manacchio, lead artist of CND. Inspired by Eighties sci-fi geometric shapes and diamond patterns, Manacchio created a customized mint shade, which referenced Miller’s spring collection. That shade was given a holographic coating of Sapphire Sparkle effects polish, and white “stars” were added with a detail brush. The inverted diamond — created by uniting two French-manicure Vs — featured Black Jack and supershiny Air Dry topcoat. Manacchio said it took 40 hours to make the 22 sets used for the show.
