Baby Phat is always one of my favorite shows to cover during New York Fashion Week. You're almost guaranteed to like what you see both backstage and on the runway.
Some things remain constant, James Kaliardos did makeup for MAC and Odile did hair (check them out in previous seasons here and here), however, who you will see trotting around backstage is always up in the air (this time around Kim Kardashian was backstage doing her thang for Ok! magazine since she's a contributing beauty editor and all).
According to Kaliardos, "We're doing a really strong blue eye that has a lavendar in the corner and a gold underneath the brow bone." Kaliardos used a bold liner on the inner rim of the eyes as well as a peachy color on the cheeks. On the lips was a peachy, sparkley lip gloss.
"Kimora really wanted a really strong sexy look and was inspired by her trip to Morocco," so think Marisa Berenson and Diahann Carroll in the 70s- really strong and sexy and feminine.
Odile Gilbert is no stranger to fashion week and has coiffed the hair of many a models. For Baby Phat, the hair is very long and very curly withs lots of volume. Odile and her team added one braid going across the head (like a headband).
Odile used Moroccanoil products (love!!!) on all of the models. She prepped hair with Moroccanoil Treatment to hair and extensions then used Moroccanoil Intense Curl Cream. Odile took medium sections of the hair, curled them with a two-inch curling iron and used Moroccanoil Luminous Hair Spray to give it volume. The look was finished with a spritz of Moroccanoil Luminous Hair Spray.
"The hair has to look rich and beautiful," she told me.
I spoke to CND nail genius Roxanne Valinoti who told me that, for the show, they used a gold overlay but at home this can be easily recreated with CND's Gold Chrome nailpolish, from the Colour & Effects line.
