THE SCOOP: In stark contrast the the graphic looks we've been seeing so far at fashion week, Page used makeup to enhance the model's features, for a sculptural look that echoed United Bamboo's sophisticated aesthetic. "We're creating form with color," said Page. Using minimal makeup and a monochromatic palette, eyes were enunciated in soft browns with (gasp!) no mascara. For hair, Harada went for a tousled, dry texture. "It's very matte and messy," he said.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Shiseido. Page perfected skin with Dual Balance Foundation and used Translucent Loose Powder to create a matter finish. Luminizing Satin Face Color in High Beam White and Soft Beam Gold were used to contour and add light on the cheeks and eyes. Eye Liner in Brown was blended around the eyes and topped off with Luminizing Eye Shadow in BR708. Lips were prepped with Aquaphor and muted with a dab of foundation before applying a very light wash of Perfect Rouge Glowing Matte Lipstick in Coral Glow.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: Harada used a one-inch barrel curling iron on sections of the hair to create texture. He spritzed with Shiseido Design Contour Spray to sculpt the waves and give hair a matte finish.
