"Designer Faces: The Hair and Makeup Look at the Fall 2010 Prada Show\\nMiuccia Prada put a modern spin on the &amp;#39;50s and &amp;#39;60s this season&amp;#8212;and that meant big brows and even bigger chignons.\\n\\\"The idea was an extremely beautiful girl with a dark side,\\\" said makeup artist Pat McGrath backstage. Though the hair and makeup were inspired by the '50s and '60s, they were not meant to be retro. She described them more as a \\\"nod to the past, but looking forward to the future.\\\"\\n\\\"It's all about the brows, and about the skin being completely nude, completely bare, completely perfected,\\\" McGrath said.\\nGetting the brows to look so prominent was a three-step process. She filled them in with [CoverGirl LineExact Defining Eyeliner](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/cover-girl-lineexact-eyeliner) in black or brown (alternating between the two shades depending on the model's hair color).\\nFor more strength, she exaggerated the shape of the brows with pencil.\\nFinally, right before the models walked the runway, she painted theatrical glue on the brows, to both give them a high-gloss finish and so every hair was more noticeable.\\nThe rest of the makeup look was all about subtlety. McGrath swept a little light brown shadow around the eyes, dabbed some highlighter on the cheeks, and left the lips completely bare.\\nThe giant chignons were a nod to classic French hairdressing (specifically the Carita salon in Paris). But Guido kept the look more modern with the shape; it served to elongate the head in back. (Oh, and in case you were wondering, there was a giant foam donut beneath each chignon.)\\nTo get the combination of ratty texture and shiny finish, Guido loaded up the hair with [Redken Thickening Lotion 06 Body Builder](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/redken-thickening-body-builder-lotion) and [Redken Hardwear 16 Super Strong Styling Gel](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/redken-hardwear-super-strong-gel) teased it, then lacquered the finished product with [Redken Forceful 23 Super Strength Finishing Spray](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/redken-forceful-finishing-spray) to give it \\\"that plastic-y feeling that they like here at Prada.\\\"\\nOnce he was happy with the shape of the hair, Guido added a wide, knitted headband. \\\"Miuccia designed the headbands\u2014she was inspired by women who used to wear braids in their hair in the '60s,\\\" Guido said.\\nThe models looked more womanly thanks to Miuccia Prada designs that exaggerated the breasts and hips."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
