Faces at Jenni Kayne were inspired by “Marlene Dietrich in the Twenties and Thirties,” said Carlo Longo, associate creative director of the Vincent Longo cosmetics brand. Carlo Longo, who is Vincent Longo’s nephew, added, “The look is very simple. A strong and bold accent was given to the brows. We went over the natural arch with [color].”
Cheeks and eyes were largely left alone — aside from a stroke of mascara — but, like the brows, lips were bold. “The brows and lips are coming forward strong and linear,” said Longo, who, naturally enough, used a coral lipstick from his uncle’s color collection.
Hairstylist Mika Rummo relied on flatirons and blow-dryers to create “dead center” parts and “dead straight” dos. “It has a matte finish with no shine,” she said of the look, adding, “it’s more on the tousled side; it’s very spring.”
Hair looks featured either low, slightly off-center ponytails — for models wearing hats — or straight, down dos. Rummo primarily used a product called Phytospecific to prevent damage from flatirons, Phytolisse serum to control flyaways and Phyto Pro Finishing Spray to complete the style.
