Celebrity makeup artist Gucci Westman shares the inspiration (& affordable shopping list!) behind Luca Luca's Fall 2011 presentation:

“The look is about a fresh, modern girl on an adventure,” says Westman. “She’s refined, yet modern. I created an eye that is contoured but not overly done so the attention is focused on the bright, striking lip.”

First the beard, now taped lips. The beauty trends showcased at Patrick Mohr's shows may not be ones we'll see on the street, but they're certainly... impactful.

Meet the go-to lipstick palette of this — and next — season.

Modeled at the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2011 show, Lip Jewels provides the perfect mix of blendable, buildable cream lip color. "The three reds we chose are very luscious, shades I've worked with time and again on the runway... I've played with them a lot — I've mixed them together, used them solo-and have come up with very rich passionate looks," says creative consultant Pat McGrath.

(The striking jewel-cut casing makes this brilliant quartet giftable, too.)

Dolce & Gabbana The Lip Jewels, $60. Available in November 2010 on Saks.com.

“This line for Bottega Veneta is a very modern workwear inspired collection and the designer wanted very natural American woman beauty to complement. This look represents a woman on the go, rushing out of her apartment on the way to work and letting her hair dry naturally," says the show's stylist Guido Palau.

Get the Look:
First, create a messy center part then dampen your entire head with a water spray bottle. Next, scrunch-in Redken Aerate 08 Bodifying Cream Mousse in sections, scrunching towards your head with small handfuls of hair at a time. (That's it!)

Tuesday's Fashion's Night Out show at Lincoln Center marked the biggest display of fashion in New York City history, with Redken’s Creative Consultant Guido Palau being the mastermind behind the 171 looks that strutted through the plaza, showcasing the hottest hairstyles for Fall/Winter 2010.

Guido, along with a team of more than 100 stylists were hard at work all day, creating seven different progressive looks — from the “Fifties Flair” structured, lacquered updo to the “Jazz Age Cool” of classy pastel-painted finger waves and the Romantic “Pure Of Heart Side Braid."
