IIDA Couture Update – Hair & Makeup
Posted by Alexandra Evjen on January 19, 2010 | 4 Comments
We met with the creative director of Toni & Guy at Scottsdale Fashion Square last night to brain storm the hair and makeup for our look…
Originally wanting to go for a black bob, we ended up with a long braid swept to the side. Understandably, our model wasn’t too excited about chopping and dying her hair. We thought the braid embodied a natural quality that would fit with the southwest landscape theme. We will be incorporating some multi-colored hair weave.
The makeup, however, will bring about a “hard” quality to the look. We will be doing a heavy smokey eye (even more dramatic than what is pictured) – using maroon at the edge of the eye and fading into black. The lip is the opposite of this picture – we chose a nude, glossy lip.
What do you think?

i like it! that braid is called a fish-tail right? my aunt joy used to do my hair in those when i was young. i think the makeup sounds awesome. i am glad you are going with a nude lip to balance the dramatic eye. can’t wait to see the real deal pics!
yep, fish tail. i’ve never had my hair done the way. i really want to learn how to do it. maybe i can practice on you? =)
sure, you can practice while we watch PR. are you coming over?! i hope so!
