2011 RAFW Backstage Beauty Report: Lisa Ho

by POPSUGAR Beauty AU 0

Day 3 of RAFW just kicked off with Lisa Ho and backstage we chatted with the hair and makeup teams. Lead hairstylist Kenneth Stoddart said he was inspired by the "1950s and '60s cut of the capri pants" in Lisa's collection and referenced Roman Holiday and Tippi Hedren in The Birds when talking about the heavily-backcombed look he created. To keep things modern, he turned to Redken's Forceful 23, which he used to saturate models hair to give that "modern, shell-like" finish, and to add further coolness, he'll tease the front to make it look "almost torn" so it looks more youthful, instead of too womanly. Head makeup artist Linda Jefferyes was also inspired by the '60s, giving models a heavy brow, brushing them up before filling them in. Skin was fresh and there were touches of silver on the eye, cheek and bow of the lip, topped off by mascara on the upper lash line.
