"I just learned the prettiest new eye shadow trick that I can&amp;#039;t wait to try. Even though the looks I&amp;#039;m seeing during Fashion Week are technically meant for next spring and summer, there&amp;#039;s no way I&amp;#039;m holding out for that long - I want to start experimenting with these looks now! Luckily, I got to chat with the makeup artist who created it, and I&amp;#039;m sharing all of her tips here so you can try it too!  You already know the show&amp;#039;s designer - it&amp;#039;s Whitney Port, from MTV&amp;#039;s The City! One of the things I love most about her is her style. She always seems to achieve the perfect combo of looking laid-back and elegant, which was definitely the case last night - I spotted her backstage in a cool olive green jumpsuit, getting a pre-show, good luck kiss from her boyfriend! (And she has the most amazing hair. I&amp;#039;ll spend the rest of my life trying to get those lush, shiny waves!)  When I met with lead makeup artist Sarah Lucero (she&amp;#039;s Stila&amp;#039;s Pro Artist for beauty.com), she explained that Whitney wanted the girls to look effortless, easy, and attainable, but still fun. (Sounds a lot like Whit herself, right?) The foundation of the look was glowy skin, but the eyes were the best part - each model had either a bright, poppy purple or neon green eye shadow framing her lashlines. Here&amp;#039;s the secret: Sarah applied the shadow wet around top and bottom lashlines, which made the color look even bolder and brighter. But then, as the brush dried and she blended the shadow onto the lid, the color diffused into a lighter shade, creating a multi-hued look with just one product! The trick is to not get the shadow brush too wet - just mist it with a spray bottle so it&amp;#039;s damp, not soaking.  Another great tip Sarah taught me: To give the girls&amp;#039; lashes a wide open, doll-like effect, she applied one coat of mascara to top and bottom lashes, then added an extra coat just on center lashes, stretching them upward as she swept the wand through.   After admiring the amazing eyes, I went straight to TRESemm\u00E9 lead hairstylist, Mara Roszak. I was hoping she could give me the inside scoop on getting Whitney&amp;#039;s hair! She explained that she used a double-barrel waving iron to get the loose, relaxed waves the models were rocking. (If you don&amp;#039;t have a waving iron, just wrap sections of hair around a one-inch barrel curling iron, and twist them in alternating directions for a more natural look.)  Mara first applied TRESemm\u00E9 Naturals Finishing Spray on dry hair, then used the iron to create waves all over. It&amp;#039;s a cool trick to use the spray first - it helps create defined waves that last! To finish up, she spritzed the roots with TRESemm\u00E9 Fresh Start Dry Shampoo and gently brushed it through to give the waves a soft, fluffy texture.  What do you think of the look? Are you as excited to try these bold, bright eyes as I am? Get more behind-the-scenes action from Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
