Backstage at Vera Wang Spring 2012

At Vera Wang,  Lucia Pieroni’s inspiration for the makeup came from “an uptown girl who  just got back from a desert music festival,” which translated to a  dusty, free-spirited look. 

Pieroni, working with Clé de Peau at  the show, applied Clé de Peau Cream Foundation to the skin. Next, she  applied light and medium brown shades from her spring 2012 Eye Color  Quad all around the eye and on the brow bone, growing lighter near the  brow bone. She skipped mascara, but curled lashes. Next, Pieroni applied  Luminizing Face Enhancer in Gold on the cheekbones and nose, and  finished with Honey Nuts Enriched Lip Luminizer, a pale caramel, on the  lips. 

Orlando Pita, working with Spirulina by Byron Williams  products, wanted a “simple, organic beauty who looks like she just got  out of the water.” To achieve this, he made a middle part, brushed hair  and pinned it at the nape, finishing with hair spray and plenty of serum  to the  bottom part of the hair to make it appear wet.
