Try: Colouring outside the lines.
At Max Mara, Tom Pecheux positioned models in a long lineup so he could personally (rather than rely on his assistants) create painterly whisks of bright pigment around their eyes for an “exotic and individual” effect.
2. GO FAUX. I recently discovered press-on nails that aren’t doomed to end up in my hair/laundry/coat pocket like those of my past. Backstage at Christian Siriano and Naeem Khan, KISS nail artist Gina Edwards, who has worked with the likes of Rita Ora, Demi Lovato and Bella Hadid, demonstrated how to apply the brand’s Impress nails. “The main concern you should have is that your nail bed is clean, without any oil,” she said. (The set comes with an alcohol swab to cleanse nails prior to applying.) Thanks to a new dual-layer adhesive, once the nails are on, they won’t lift, peel or head for your pockets. (And after wearing them for eight days, I can attest to that.) The key to getting a natural-looking shape is filing the nails before you put them on—this allows for greater dexterity, especially when filing your non-dominant hand. If you’re changing the shape significantly, Edwards recommends using a file with a coarser grit, while a lighter grain is better to perfect edges. “Go with the curvature of your nail beds,” said Edwards of the ideal nail shape. “If you have more of a curved nail, then do more of an oval. But I never tell people to conform to a certain shape. If you feel that you want a stiletto nail, do a stiletto nail.” VICTORIA DIPLACIDO
