"Designer Faces: The Hair and Makeup Look at the Fall 2010 Versace Runway Show\\nDonatella Versace downplayed the glitz this season, going with soft, understated makeup and casually sexy hair.\\nInstead of the sparkly glamazons we're used to seeing on the runway here, the models looked ready to hop on the back of a Harley Davidson. Clad in leather, chrome-like metallic fabrics, and mostly dark colors, they still radiated the brand's signature sex appeal, but in a tougher, cooler way. \\\"Donatella wanted a more relaxed kind of sexiness this season,\\\" said hairstylist Guido.\\nAt the hair and makeup test a few days before the show, Versace remarked to makeup artist Pat McGrath how great the models looked when they arrived, with barely any makeup on. \\\"So we decided to go with that and just show the girls as they naturally are,\\\" said McGrath. \\\"Then we're enhancing things just a bit to make them look like Versace girls.\\\"\\nFor McGrath, the key to that enhancement was major lashes. First, she lined the top lash line with black eye pencil followed by black liquid liner ([CoverGirl LineExact Liquid Eyeliner)](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/cover-girl-lineexact-eyeliner). Then she pressed [Shu Uemura Soft Cross False Eyelashes](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/shu-uemura-falsh-lashes) onto the lids and followed with another swipe of the liquid liner to fill in any gaps of bare skin and make the fake lashes look more realistic. She piled on [CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mega Volume Mascara in Very Black](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/covergirl-lashblast-mega-volume-mascara-black) for an extra fluttery finish.\\nThe only other eye makeup was a hint of brown eyeliner under the bottom lashes, which was smudged to look soft.\\nThis was, after all, a Versace show, so it was important that, even in pared-down makeup, the models still looked polished. McGrath applied foundation to even out the skin tone and dusted powder where needed, then filled in the eyebrows. \\\"They're groomed to perfection,\\\" she said.\\n\\\"We want the girls to look fresh and glowing,\\\" said McGrath. With that in mind, she rubbed a rosy cream blush, [CoverGirl &amp; Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Lush Berry](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/cover-girl-olay-simply-ageless-blush-lush-berry) on the cheeks for healthy pink color.\\nThe trademark of Versace makeup has always been nude lips, but usually they're drenched with gloss and shimmer. This time, the lips really were nude\u2014all they got was a touch of clear balm.\\nThe hair was played down, too\u2014but just enough to make it look casual while still keeping it shiny and bouncy. Guido worked [Redken Thickening Lotion 06 Body Builder](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/redken-thickening-body-builder-lotion) through damp hair and blew it dry with a round brush for volume and sheen. Then he set the hair in hot rollers for about 20 minutes.\\nAfter removing the curlers, Guido brushed through the hair and twisted it up into a loose bun. Right before the models went out on the runway, he let down the hair and parted it in the middle. \\\"This way, the hair doesn't look so perfectly blown out,\\\" he said. \\\"It takes on more of a natural feel.\\\"\\n\\\"The hair is always glamorous at Versace, but this time there's ease to it and it doesn't seem so done,\\\" said Guido. \\\"It's still luxurious, but in younger, cooler way.\\\"\\nWhen speaking about the up-and-coming models in the show who had inspired the beauty look, McGrath said, \\\"They're so sweet\u2014and so well-behaved!\\\"\\nThough much of the collection was black, brown, and gray, occasionally there were pops of brightness, like this fiery red fur-trimmed coat.\\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
