THE SCOOP: Jenni Kayne is famous for her particular brand of downtown chic - her looks were made for gals who are naturally cool without trying. For spring 2010, the makeup follows suit: Lucero lightened up the perennially-in smoky eye with varying shades of navy, smudging liner on the lids and sparkly shadow at the inner corners. "We used four coats of mascara on the lashes to make them thick and cakey," said Lucero, who added "I've been obsessed with this look for a while and now I have an excuse to wear it!" For hair, the look was "really cool, but not overdone," said Gibson, who created messy ponytails for the occasion. "Instead of a neat, little girl updo, we made the ponytails chic and downtown by twisting them and tucking them under."

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Stila. Skin stays matte with Natural Finish Makeup and Pressed Powder. Eyes smolder in navy blue, thanks to Navy Eye Palette, Sapphire Kajal Liner and Indigo Eye Shadow, smudged along the upper lids, with four coats of Major Lash Mascara on upper and lower lashlines. Cheeks are contoured with Sun bronzer, and lips stay nude with Long Wearing Lip Color in In The Nude, personalized to each model's skin tone with Kajal Liner in Topaz.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: Gibson tamed flyaways and added shine with Ted Gibson Tame It. He spritzed the finished style with Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold Hairspray to hold the look in place. "The formula is super light, but gives the hair good control," he said.
