"Designer Faces: Gucci Spring 2012\\nSmoldering black eyes and no-nonsense hair added an edge to Gucci&amp;#39;s 1920s Art Deco&amp;#8211;inspired collection.\\n\\\"Today at Gucci, this makeup is a nod to Art Deco with a punky edge,\\\" said makeup artist Pat McGrath backstage. \\\"We're calling it deco-punk.\\\"\\nMcGrath used [CoverGirl LiquilineBlast Eyeliner Pencil in Blackfire](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/covergirl-liquiline-blast-eyeliner-black-fire) to outline the eye from the inner corners all the way around and under the lower lash line. She colored inside the lines with [CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/covergirl-smoky-shadowblast-onyx-smoke) and layered the lids with shimmery black shadow and loose black glitter powder. She diffused the edges with a domed brush and finished the look with [CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara in Very Black.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/covergirl-lashblast-mega-volume-mascara-black)\\nTo further accentuate the eyes, McGrath bleached the eyebrows and covered them in concealer. \\\"It makes the eyes look very rebellious, decadent, and chic,\\\" she said.\\nMcGrath wanted the rest of the face to look clean and natural. She used foundation and concealer to get rid of any redness. \\\"It's all about that fresh skin; it looks amazing,\\\" she said.\\nMakeup artists dusted matte taupe shadow along the cheekbones and onto the apples for contour. They added highlighter to the cheekbones for a bold, graphic look.\\nMcGrath softened the lips with a dab of lip balm and patted nude highlighter right above the Cupid's bow for dimension.\\nThe punk-rock updo was held together with\u2014believe it or not\u2014bondage tape. Hairstylist Luigi Murenu worked [John Frieda Luxurious Volume Blow-Dry Lotion Root Booster](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2011/john-freida-blow-dry-lotion-root-booster) and [John Frieda Luxurious Volume Bountiful Body Mousse](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/john-frieda-volume-bountiful-body-mousse) through the hair and rough-dried it to create volume. He formed a high ponytail at the back of the crown, leaving the hair above the ears loose. This hair was then crimped, backcombed, and smoothed back into another ponytail. He secured the two ponytails together at the top with a piece of black vinyl tape and added a clear elastic to the center of the ponytail. He then wrapped it all into a small knot and secured with pins.\\nTo amp up the drama, Murenu painted black makeup on the sides of the hair from the ear to the base of the ponytail. Girls with darker hair received gold paint. This drew attention to the neck and really elongated the lines in the collection. He set the look with hair spray and shine spray to give it a strong finish, almost like \\\"a polished wood feeling,\\\" Murenu said."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
