"Designer Faces: Valentino Fall 2014\\nSoft blue-gray liner and long, undulating ponytails complemented Valentino&amp;#39;s eclectic collection.\\nThe collection was beautiful, but definitely not one-note: It was comprised of mod, graphic prints, ethereal eveningwear, and embroidered pieces in an earthy palette.\\nMakeup artist Pat McGrath wanted faces to look clean and natural. She applied foundation and concealer sparingly and dusted pale powder to highlight the cheekbones. McGrath combined concealer and lip balm with just \\\"a little bit of pearl highlight only on the Cupid's bow\\\" for a natural-looking lip.\\nFor the eyes, McGrath experimented with light and shade: \\\"We played with a soft, gray eyeliner\u2014a color that wasn't in the collection\u2014on the tops and bottoms of the eyes, and a tiny bit of [contouring.](http://www.allure.com/makeup-looks/2014/how-to-contour-and-highlight) We wanted to bring the Valentino woman an edge of eccentricity.\\\"\\nHairstylist Guido Palau put a twist on the Valentino look with a superlong '60s-inspired [segmented ponytail.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/how-to/2013/segmented-ponytail-video) \\\"We didn't want to do something that was so classic, like a [braid](http://www.allure.com/hair-ideas/2013/look-now-braided-hairstyles) or a [ponytail](http://www.allure.com/hair-ideas/2013/the-7-best-ponytail-hairstyles)\u2014it added another dimension to the Valentino woman. It's still very rich and Italian.\\\" [Extensions](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2013/12/all-about-hair-extension.html) were prepped with [Redken Guts 10 Root Targeted Volume Spray Foam,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/volumizer/2012/redken-guts-10-volume-spray) blown out very straight, and then added right below the crown. Hair was [center-parted,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2012/11/hair-trend-middle-part.html) gathered at the nape of the neck, and secured into a low ponytail. To soften the look, Palau pulled out a few pieces on the sides. Then black elastics were placed every two to three inches. \\\"That extreme length is striking, and it gives some richness,\\\" said Palau. \\\"This feels very young and playful.\\\"\\nThe length and slimness of the hair mirrored the long silhouettes in the collection. \\\"It presents a more eclectic way of dressing,\\\" said Palau, \\\"so the hair is playful, eccentric and curious.\\\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
