BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Disco nap diva

THE SCOOP: Daniel Martin, lead makeup artist for the Benz show, was unbelievably calm, cool and collected amid the backstage antics. As for the inspiration for the makeup, "she's an uptown girl, circa early 80's, gone downtown for a night out at the clubs." The eyes were the focus-Martin used a midnight blue-black shadow flecked with sparkle over the whole lid and underneath the eye, followed by a black gloss on top, rubbed in with his fingers, making it appear a bit "slept in." There were multiple coats of mascara, "the clumpier the better," said Martin. And the skin was matte and the lips were given a coat of nude lipstick (yes, another nude lip!). John Rudant gave the girls faux bobs, continuing the morning after theme with curls pinned and tucked under, looking a little mussed. He coined the 'do "deconstructed." As for the nails, Deborah Lippmann's team painted three different shades of polish (royal blue, muted gold, and bright red) on girls, depending on their outfit.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: This dark and stormy eye can be achieved with a new Lancôme cream eye shadow in indigo that won't launch until Fall '09, followed by Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold in The New Black, and Color Fever Gloss in Piha Black. Get the nude lip with L'Absolu Rouge in Rich Cashmere.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: Rudant used Redken Fabricate 03 Heat Active Texturizer on damp hair before blowdrying, then Hot Sets 22 Thermal Setting Mist before he curled the girls' hair and pinned it up and under.

GET THE LOOK - NAILS: The three colors used at the Benz show are all part of the Lancôme Fall '09 color collection so stay tuned for those!
