PPQ Beauty: Strength in the Details

Slick uber-straight ponytails were meant to convey strength at PPQ, according to Duffy, who was styling hair for Bumble and bumble. He used Bumble and bumble Thickening Spray to prep hair before spraying Extra Strength Holding Spray to scrape it back from the face. Ponytails were secured high on the head and supplemented with extensions, which were then cut to create sharp blunt ends. “It’s quite dressage,” said Duffy. Large colored beads at the base of ponytails helped create height.Makeup artist Makky, working with Shu Uemura, focused on eyebrows and lips.

After creating a matte finish all over the face using Shu Uemura Water Perfect Water-In Foundation, he strengthened and elongated eyebrows using Shu Uemura Pressed Eyeshadow in Amber. Eyelids were nude and eyelashes were curled without mascara. Makky finished the look with a lilac lip using Shu Uemura’s Rouge Unlimted lipstick.
