Blair began by using M.A.C.’s soon-to-be-released Sculpting Cream in Richly Honed and Dark Currant cream eye shadow, both rich shades of brown, which she described as "very diffused and very translucent." Next she tapped in with a new Pro Longwear eye shadow called Uninterrupted, which is "beautiful dirty ochre color, a mustardy yellow", with a 224 brush tapped onto lids. Blair described M.A.C's 224 brush as an extension of her right arm since it doesn't give any hard lines. Finally, she pressed White Gold Pro Pigment, a loose shimmer, over the lids to create a wet, luminescent effect.
Antonoff's theme was girls on a dock at night or twilight so Blair wanted to ensure the makeup meshed well. She says, "I wanted to emulate that feeling with makeup, what moonlit water looks like. That's why I'm doing so many layers." She wanted the makeup to look wet but "I didn't want it be deconstructed. I didn't want to use Vaseline or a gloss or something like that to break down the makeup. I just wanted it to have the appearance of wetness."
On the cheeks, she applied So Sweet, So Easy cream blush which added sweetness back to makeup.
CND's Candice Manacchio designed three playful nails for the gal with a sense of adventure:
"Starry Night" (left) evoked the nighttime sky on a lake with two coats of CND Colour in Midnight Sapphire with sponged overlay of Eclectic Purple and Studio White, with a coat of CND Effects in Sapphire Sparkle.
"Flirty Flower" (center) was created with two coats of bold red CND Colour in Flashpoint with hand detailed ferns using CND Colours in Brilliant White and Anchor Blue.
"True Red" (right) was created with two coats of CND Colour in Flashpoint.
Continuing with the moonlit theme, Jenny Balding for Cutler Salon created a really sleek and simple do. Using Redken's Hard Gel, all hair was pulled away from the face into a shiny ponytail tied at the base.
