Rachel Roy looked to something rather unconventional when working with the makeup and nail artists at her Fall 2012 presentation — and that something odd was dirt. Yes, dirt. But there was nothing icky about these beauty looks. See why you'll fall in love with the designer's soil-inspired style now.

"The Rachel Roy look was nature-inspired, by pine and soil," explains Essie manicurist Elle. So to capture that feel, the brand's Licorice (a jet black crème) was applied to models' nails, along with Going Incognito (a deep emerald green) on top. The result was an ultra-cool blackened dark green.

Bobbi Brown (pictured left) used her forthcoming Caviar and Oyster Eye Palette (available for Fall/holiday) when creating the makeup look. "It's the color of dirt," Bobbi explained, adding, "It's actually a really great color eye shade with green-gold flecks." Photo: Megan Holmes

A matte lip hue in Latte (available in Fall) added just a hint of color.
In lieu of traditional eyeliner, dark shadow was used to rim the eyes.
Hair, by Ted Gibson, got loads of shine pre-flat-ironing, thanks to his brand's Tame It Shine Lotion. "Straight is where it's at," Ted proclaimed.
