As soon as I learned this, I wondered: Can a beauty look based on an eccentric, semi-wacko woman who's been holed up in her house for years be appealing at all?? In this case--and in the talented hands of Frederic Fekkai's Renato Campora and Le Metier de Beaute's Talia Shobrook--the answer is a resounding YES! It's definitely not an everyday look, but I thought Campora and Shobrook translated the designers' inspiration in a very romantic and soft way. \u00A0\n\nTo convey the feeling of a decaying heiress, Shobrook began by perfecting the skin with a mix of liquid foundation and sunblock. \"I added the SPF just to give the skin an extra bit of luminosity,\" she explained. Next she blended together red, orange, and pink powder blush colors and stroked it across the center of the eyelids with her finger. \"It's not supposed to look perfect, so I literally just rubbed it on with my finger without blending it much,\" Shobrook added. On top of the eye color, she used Le Metier de Beaute's Magic, a glaze that gives powders a sheer glossy finish, and applied brown mascara on the lashes. Then she brushed a gray/matte beige tone underneath the eyes and used a dusty pink shade on the cheeks, making sure to apply it with a brush in a downward movement so that \"it gives her face almost a hollow look.\"\u00A0 Lastly, she put lip balm on the lips and then again used her finger to rub on the same color she used on the eyelids. \"Except for the blush, everything is applied with the fingers so that it looks lived-in!\" she said.\n\nCampora decided to go for a flamenco dancer-inspired chignon, but he gave it a wild, airy element by amping up the texture in the back. He started by saturating the crown (on dry hair) with Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting &amp;amp; Texturizing Spray Gel for added grip. He blow dried the hair with his hands to further enhance the natural texture. He parted the hair in the center, brushed it out, and then smoothed the hair back into a low, tight ponytail at the nape of the neck, securing it with an elastic. Next, he teased the ponytail with a brush to achieve a very tousled look. Then he secured the end of the ponytail with an elastic and gathered the hair against the back of the head to create an oversized, fluffy chignon. He finished by using Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray to help the hair keep its light, gauzy shape. \"I want the hair to look rich, dramatic, and as if it's just floating there,\" Campora said."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
