THE SCOOP:
Barbara Tfank is loved for her floral and brocade designs, and her spring collection will not disappoint - it's full of whimsical color and freshness. Arlt referred to the collection as, "Mad Men meets Lily Pulitzer." He kept with the flowery theme, using a color palette of peaches and pinks to creating an elegant, high society vibe. "I wanted to create a beautiful, healthy look with glowing skin, chic black cat-eyes, dramatic looking eyebrows and soft pink lips," commented Gregory. Hair stylist Jean Marc completed the look with a classic 1960's bouffant that screams "expensive!"

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by M.A.C.To create Gregory's simple yet stunning look, apply a light coat of Phloof eye shadow, a peachy-pink color, to highlight the upper cheek bones. The shadow appears both peach and pink depending on the light. For the crease of the eyes, use a hint of black liquid liner for definition. For eyebrows, use brow powder instead of eye pencil for a softer look. For lips, use Love Nectar, a sweet and peachy gloss with a pretty pink running through it.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR:
For the type of glamorous volume that stylist Rick Pipino created, set the hair at the top of your head in rollers and then follow up by teasing it until you have created the volume you want and set with Phytovolume Actif Maximizing Spray. Finally, take the hair and twist it into a fresh bun at the bottom of your head.
