Backstage at Michael Kors, beauty was unfussy, and almost earthy in a desert rose kind of way.
“It’s super simple,” said lead makeup artist Dick Page for Michael Kors Beauty. Page applied Michael Kors Bronzer in Glow across cheeks and the bridge of the nose for a “believable warmth,” and glossed over eyes with Aquaphor (or whatever else was laying around) for a sheen. Lips were glossed over as well — no color, only shine.
Orlando Pita led hair, which was an artfully deconstructed, three-quarters up, one-quarter down twist that was wrapped around an amber stick. “It’s a Southwestern girl, a traveler in a dusty terrain,” said Pita. After prepping with plenty of dry shampoo for texture, Pita expertly wrapped hair around the stick to look purposefully messy. “You have to know technique to break technique.”
Nails were a “dusty look,” according to Jin Soon Choi for Michael Kors Beauty. Choi used Michael Kors Nail Lacquer in Hint, a nude shade, as a base color, and finished off with a matte top coat. “It’s nude with a twist.”
