Backstage Beauty Report - Rochas

Greg Kessler

Backstage at Rochas may have been the perfect place for the debut of the makeup artist Lucia Pieroni’s Clé de Peau fall colors. “Dark and sexy in an androgynous way,” is how she described a palette inspired by an imagined Parisian evening with women like those once photographed by Brassaï. Pieroni felt these rich colors complemented the designer Marco Zanini’s inspiration for the collection: glazed Scandinavian pottery. To create a violet eye and plum mouth, she used Clé de Peau eye shadow in Pewter 118 and 116 Wine, while lips were covered in R10. “It feels very soft oakley frogskin sunglasses, almost folky looking,” said Eugene Souleiman of the low ponytail he decided upon for the show. First, hair was separated into five parts oakley frogskin sunglasses, the top panel spread with Wella Natural Volume Styling Mousse (to have a matted quality when brushed out) before the panel below was teased and the other three sections pulled down to cover the ears just above the bottom lobes. This was secured with a special barrette covered in shellacked cinnamon sticks (found at an accessory shop in the Marais), which Souleiman thought fit with the sheen seen on ceramics fresh out of the kiln. “I didn’t want it to look ostentatious or vulgar — more raw. She’s intelligent and creative,” Souleiman said of this Rochas girl. “People will say, ‘Oh wow oakley frogskin sunglasses, what an amazing, stylish woman, I wonder what she does?’ It’s a different kind of beauty.”
