Backstage at the Jason Wu Spring 2015 show, Kerastase lead hairstylist Odile Gilbert created a sleek low ponytail with a side part. The collection was refined and modern with a hint of simplicity, so naturally the hair and makeup followed suit.

How To Get The Hair Look:

1. On dry hair, apply Mousse Bouffant and Ciment Thermique
2. With a paddle brush, blow dry in a backwards motion for volume
3. Using a tail comb, create a side part. Leave two-inch strips of hair on either side of the face and pull back the remaining hair and secure (temporarily) with a clip
4. Pulling hair from the clip, section by section, spray with Laque Dentelle and twist with your fingers before curling around a 2” barrel curling iron for added texture

6. Comb fingers through the lengths of hair to create a soft, natural look
7. Apply Baume Double Je to prevent fly-aways and secure hair in place

The makeup look backstage, led by Diane Kendal for Lancome, was dewy skin with a soft smoky eye. On nails, lead manicurist Deborah Lippman perfected the look with Lancome’s Vernis in Love in Beige Romance.
