SHOW: Band of Outsiders

MAKEUP: Dick Page for Shiseido

HAIR: Tadashi Harada

BEAUTY SHAPSHOT: Schoolgirl in the City

THE SCOOP: At Boy by Band of Outsiders, a pared-down approach to makeup and hair reflected the line's East Coast, prep aesthetic.

Dick Page for Shiseido tailored the makeup to each model, using a sharp brown or black eye pencil around the eyes before smudging it slightly with a flat brush dipped (very conservatively) in makeup remover. His explained his choices for each model as "very subjective," basing his decision on eye shape and their looks for the show.

The hair design shared a similarly undone, youthful feel. (Stylist Tadashi Harada described the concept as "supernatural.")

Casual, glossy waves were set by rolling sections into a version of a very loose bun. Harada said he simply ran a hair creme through dry strands to give them extra shine and separation.
