BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Roaring Twenties glamour with a modern twist

THE SCOOP: Chantel Miller created a look that was influenced by the 1920s and British-born heiress Nancy Cunard. "It's all about those elements when you think of classic period makeup--the big smoky eye and dark lip." Working on a range of diverse models, Miller added a modern edge by incorporating silver metal pigment at the center of the eyelid and a burgundy lip gloss instead of a "traditional blocked out lip."

To create a stark contrast between the lash line, the makeup artist used a jet black water-activated liner before fading upwards into a sheer black. Miller's trick for achieving that dewy, metallic effect on the eyes was combining the silver pigment with a mixing medium. "It turns it into a liquid that can be painted on wet and moved around using the fingers," she said. To finish the look, she placed a soft gold liner into the inner corners of the eye and used MAC Pro Lipmix in Burgundy to add "a bit of refinement and sophistication."

Hair stylist Edward Tricomi developed different styles for each model, but drew inspiration from the 1920s to the 1960s. "It's classic, but yet we want to give it that old-new feeling," said Tricomi. With his secret weapon in hand--flexibile hair spray--he molded styles that ranged from long, luxurious curls to elongated chignons (as pictured left). "I saw the dresses beforehand, but I knew I wanted to play with the looks and have fun."
