Legendary design house Halston just had its much applauded fall 2010 presentation and it looks like Marios Schwab is off to a wonderful start, preserving Halston's classic heritage while incorporating contemporary updates. Of course, the hair, makeup, and nails have to match the story of the Halston woman. Makeup was done by Lisa Butler for M.A.C. where she went for a largely colorless look. She explained that using a darker color on the brow bone and also on the hollows of the cheeks creates a more chiseled, almost severe look. She added Strobe Liquid to the highest planes of the cheekbones to make them even more prominent. Lastly, a coating of green lip gloss was used to neutralize the redness of the lips. For hair, Eugene Souleiman for Wella went for a super sleek and glossy look. The hair was first blown out and finished with a hairspray to keep the hair down. Models with shorter hair got long extensions that went down to their hips. Lastly, Pattie Yankee of Dashing Diva applied a milky coffee colored nail polish called West Village to models' nails and toes.
Stylehive TV: Jonathan Antin Goes Nuts at Pussycat Dolls Show!

Hair care megadude Jonathan Antin has two speeds - caffeine and guarine. The creator of the Jonathan product line, star of Blowout, and little brother of Pussycat Dolls creator Robin Antin, was his trademark maniacally intense self backstage at the Dolls' runway show for L.A. Fashion Week. Antin took me through some of the models' styles for the show, then turned the tables and interviewed me on his creations! Watch as I struggle to parry his witty jabs. (If 60 Minutes has an opening, Antin should be on their short list.)
