Rag & Bone- Orange Lipstick

On a night downtown, don’t be afraid to rock the bold lips. This season, designer Rag & Bone made history by debuting the first-ever matte orange lip. Makeup artist Gucci Westman created this look by mixing Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Mischievous with Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Carnival

Jill Stuart- Rock n’ Roll Waves

These beachy-but-grungy waves are perfect for a night out with friends at Mels. To make them, stylist Oldie Gilbert for Kérastase Paris added texture with Bouncles D’Art mousse and Kérastase powder Bluff Texturing Dry Shampoo. She then created a zigzag center parts and curled the models’ hair with a large barrel curling irons just through the mid-lengths of their hair and then loosened the waves with her fingers.

Rachel Zoe- Chunky French Braids

On a night out with just the girls ace this deconstructed modern take on the braid. For Rachel Zoe’s Spring Collection, runway stylist Antonio Corral Calero created soft textures, ethereal hair looks that were inspired by windswept safari days and subtle tribal details. While we New Yorkers are anything but in the wild, create this look by taking random parts of pre-textured hair strands, crisscrossing them (like macramé) and tucking them into the back and inside of a low braid. 

Honor- Long and Nude Nails

Replacing the over-the-top and elaborate nail art that has been all the rage is the nude nail. This fresh and modern look can be easily worn to class and is perfect to sport when talking one-on-one to professors. Model’s nails at the Honor Fashion Week presentation were long and filed to pointy ovals, following the popular trend of “stiletto nails.” Manicurists then painted nails with La Vie En Rose, finished with a topcoat and then after drying, applied six small rhinestones to nails in a pyramid shape at the base.
