Downtown Girls at Sachin + Babi Fall 2012
The Show: Sachin + Babi
Hair: Martin-Christopher Harper for Cutler/Redken
Makeup: Bobbi Brown
The Vibe: The perennial downtown girl. Lead stylist for Cutler/Redken, Martin-Christopher Harper, said the look was “all about a cool young downtown girl. We kept going back to this girl on 34th street that can’t decide if she wants to go uptown or stay downtown.” To achieve that unstudied coolness, Harper used Redken Full Frame 07 Protective Volumizing Mousse, working it into models’ hair with his hands to “encourage the texture and then break it down with the Cutler shine spray.”
Of the muted, wearable makeup Tia Lebron, Global Education Executive for Bobbi Brown said, “the inspiration is really a clean, fresh look. The makeup really compliments the clothing, it doesn’t distract from the clothing. The lips are very muted—a little bright but yet not bright. It’s not necessarily pink, not necessarily coral—just that brightness. There’s a soft wash of color, very clean and natural through the cheek. And the eye is not very smoky, but yet a smoldering look.” To get the smoldering, not-smoky eye, makeup artists used Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow in Malted, and smudged in Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner.
