"Designer Faces: Diane von Furstenberg\\nFall 2014\\nAt the Diane von Furstenberg show, the soft shadow, plum cheeks, and loose buns gave a pretty, ballerina-off-duty feel.\\nMakeup artist James Kaliardos looked to the Russian ballet for inspiration: \\\"It's about the Russian refugees leaving to create the Ballet Russes, which was one of the most famous ballet companies in history,\\\" he said. \\\"We're breaking down the idea of ballet makeup but in a very sheer, wearable way.\\\"\\n\\\"You know when you see those girls from ballet school and you know they're ballerinas even though they don't have makeup on?\\\" Kaliardos asked. \\\"This is what we're doing: Ballet-on-the-street makeup.\\\" He applied foundation to each model and touched up any imperfections with concealer. Then, using __M.A.C. Studio Conceal and Correct Palette,__ he [contoured](http://www.allure.com/makeup-looks/2014/how-to-contour-and-highlight) the cheekbones, temples, and nose. He dusted a sheer, shimmery plum blush (__M.A.C. Powder Blush in Flirt and Tease__) over the apples of the cheeks and dabbed clear gloss on the cheekbones.\\nKaliardos mixed a shimmery gray cream shadow with a deep Bordeaux lipstick to create the shadow that went on models' lids. \\\"Everyone kind of looks good with this color,\\\" he said of the resulting shade. Kaliardos blended it along the crease, sweeping it past the outer corners of the eyes, and then defined the inner rims with nude liner. He brushed mascara on the top lashes only. \\\"It's that theatrical thing you do onstage to make your eyes bigger,\\\" he said. He finished by patting a clear gloss onto the lids for light sheen.\\nThe rest of the look was soft and clean: Kaliardos defined brows slightly by filling in just the inner corners and coated lips with clear balm.\\n\\\"Diane wanted a ballerina-inspired bun, but a ballerina in rehearsal, not a ballerina in performance,\\\" said hairstylist Orlando Pita. \\\"So it's not perfectly done.\\\"\\nPita prepped the models' hair with [dry shampoo](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/search?hair-products=dry-shampoo&amp;hair_b=true) (if it was fine) or serum (if it was dry) before sweeping it back into a ponytail in the middle of the back of the head. He secured it with an elastic before beginning the bun.\\nPita misted a teasing comb with strong-hold hair spray, then ran the comb through the hair to give the look a finger-combed feel. He then wrapped the ponytail into a bun and secured it in place. Because he was going for an undone finish, he loosened sections of the bun with his fingers and pinned them down haphazardly. \\\"It should look easy, not too coiffed,\\\" he said."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
