THE SCOOP: Lead makeup artist Chantel Miller's bronzed look was inspired by a copper leather dress she saw during an Elise Øverland fitting. In that very moment, Miller knew she had to use that color in the Spring 2010 show.

"For Elise, there is a clear seam present that is all about the beauty of the girl," said Miller. "And her clothing is very strong and very sexy. She's a genius at draping and using fabulous textures."

Miller went all out this season working in the rich warm shade throughout the face after Øverland gave her the thumbs up to do more with makeup. And the execution couldn't be any more perfect.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All products by MAC. Miller mixed Sheertone Shimmer Blushes in Copper and Pink to create a rose champagne and then lightly dusted her concoction across the inner cheeks, lips and eyes.
