For a burst of excitement, I'm applying a thick orange eye liner followed by a black liner on top to provide depth and definition for the lashes," explained Longo. Then, he thickened and contoured the brows to frame the models' faces, and finished the look with a natural lip.

Gibson told us the image he used for the hair concept: "These girls are super cool, they've been out dancing all night and now they've woken up and used a little gel to slick back the sides, so it's a little mess and trendy, not polished."

As for nails, Nonie Crème created a deep green polish just for the Vena Cava show. She layered a mattifying solution on top to take away any shimmer.
