Without a doubt, there’s a kind of mystery surrounding the girls of Spike Jonze’s photographs—Chloë, Björk, Kim G.—that’s difficult, even impossible, to duplicate. But for this Fall/Winter ’15 presentation, we attempted to recreate it anyway. The result? A low-maintenance, fuss-free look that gave us plenty of time to focus on other things: in our case that was the clothes. Here, we give you a step-by-step DIY guide to get this exclusive backstage style—including a hair technique to stow in your bag of tricks! While we can’t promise a movie deal or a Top 40 hit will follow, you’ll have the confidence to try.
STEP 1: Give Me Some Skin
Begin with a mega clean slate by swabbing your skin with a saturated cotton pad of Dermaclear Micro Water from Dr.Jart+. It removes everything in one easy, lazy go. Do that and you’ll have time for a mask—the real difference-maker. We like the Pore Minimalist Mask formulated with Korean charcoal. Then seal it all in with a moisturizer like the skin-plumping Ceramidin Liquid.
STEP 2: Swoop-a-Loop
So all that goodness really sinks in before make-up, hair is next. Start with a little dollop of Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil to add shine and press down any flyaways. Then style! Our hair guru, Anthony Turner, went for a deep side part reminiscent of ‘90s It girls. The trick? Take the front-most pieces and pull ‘em taut with a discreet little knot at the nape of the neck, then assault your handiwork with Bumble and bumble Thickening Spray.
STEP 3: Doll Up
Because we had to show off that camera-ready complexion and strong hairstyle we left the makeup subdued and focused on a rosy flush: peachy-pink blush and a sheer sweep of apricot eyeshadow. (We like Maybelline’s Color Tattoo Gel Shadow in “Fierce and Tangy” for it’s staying power.) Just dab and blend, blend, blend. For the cheeks, go for the Mineral Powder Illuminator in peach for dewy, just-pinched skin in any light—from the unforgiving spotlights and flashes to the golden hour.
STEP 4: Frame It
Since we kept the look simple we went ham on the nails. Enlisting the help of OC-friend Naomi Yasuda from CND Nails, we recreated the collection’s Kodak prints and photo collages in classic, square-shaped silhouettes. The DIY kicker? These intricately striped, photo-printed masterpieces stick on in a flash—all perfect for showtime jitters and real-life impatience alike.![]()
