Tuesday's Rodarte Spring/Summer 2015 show took the beauty world by storm—featuring some seriously badass brow rings. Intrigued, we asked makeup artist James Kaliardos to give us the rundown on how he created the army of fresh faces. “She’s beautiful and cool,” says Kaliardos. Beautiful and slightly intimidating.
The punky arches were offset by the prettiness of the makeup, which featured monochromatic washes of deep roses. Kaliardos lightly dusted lids with a blend of chestnut and pink shadows, and then blended sparkly gold highlighter beneath the lower lashlines. (“It just helps catch the light.”) He erased any evidence of a late night by tracing waterlines with nude pencil. To give the models a healthy flush, he repurposed the just-used brown shadow as blush, mixed in a peach shade, and applied it high on the apples of the cheeks and tops of the cheekbones. He finished up with the “perfect alternative to a nude lip”: a beige-rose shade or a creamy mauve depending on the models’ skin tone.
The next step was certainly the most intriguing and unique part of the whole look—getting the girls “pierced,” which meant affixing seven C-shaped rings on each brow, using clear glue and tweezers. The look came across incredibly Jacques Cousteau meets Game of Thrones. The face jewelry might have been temporary, but it might just inspire something more permanent in a showgoer or two.
