Giorgio Armani Spring 2015
Makeup: Linda Cantello for Giorgio Armani Beauty
Inspiration: Using the sandy colors of the collection, Cantello created a "desert sunset" look on the models. Bonus: the products used to create it will debut as a makeup collection dubbed Armani Runway in February 2015.
Giorgio Armani Spring 2015
Hair: Roberta Bellazzi for L'Oréal Paris
Inspiration: Armani asked Bellazzi to create a natural braid in an unusual way, which he accomplished by making three plaits on the crown of the head that were pinned at the nape of the neck.
Etro Spring 2015
Hair: James Pecis
Makeup: Mark Carrasquillo for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: Native American influences pervaded the collection. For an effortless hairstyle, Pecis added extensions and created soft waves.
Marni Spring 2015
Hair: Paul Hanlon
Makeup: Tom Pecheux for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: Hanlon was inspired by The Teddy Boys of the Edwardian Drape Society, a short film in which the main characters have dirty, sticky sideburns. He replicated this by transforming models's baby hair into sideburns and securing it all with wax.
Salvatore Ferragamo Spring 2015
Hair: Anthony Turner for L'Oréal Professionnel
Makeup: Diane Kendal for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: Turner created smooth ponytails with only a slight amount of volume. He felt that leaving hair natural (not too amped and not too sleek) gives it a fresh feel.
Ermanno Scervino Spring 2015
Hair: Enrico Mariotti
Makeup: Jessica Nedza for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: The collection was a hybrid of sportswear and glamour, so it makes sense that Mariotti's elegant updo wouldn't be out of place anywhere from the gym to a gala.
Jil Sander Spring 2015
Hair: Guido for Redken
Inspiration: Guido captured the essence of the androgynous Jil Sander woman by creating natural texture with Satinwear 02 Blow Dry lotion; he then added a deep side part.
Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2015
Hair: Guido for Redken
Makeup: Pat McGrath
Inspiration: The designers were inspired by Spain's rule over Sicily from 1516 to 1713. Guido tucked roses and carnations into low, soft chignons for extra romance.
Bottega Veneta Spring 2015
Hair: Guido for Redken
Makeup: Pat McGrath
Inspiration: The collection gave a nod to "the body in movement." Palau created a workout-friendly hairstyle by twisting hair back into a chic, messy bun.
Antonio Marras Spring 2015
Makeup: MAC Cosmetics
MSGM Spring 2015
Makeup: Val Garland for MAC Cosmetics
Kristina Ti Spring 2015

Aquilano e Rimondi Spring 2015
John Richmond Spring 2015
Les Copains Spring 2015
Fendi Spring 2015
Hair: Sam McKnight
Makeup: Peter Philips
Inspiration: Karl Lagerfeld asked Philips to incorporate the cornflower blue hue from the collection, so Philips cut small pieces out of leather hair accessories and affixed them to the model's lids using lash glue.
Giamba Spring 2015
Hair: Orlando Pita
Makeup: Val Garland for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: Giambattista Valli wanted his second ready-to-wear line to embody the sexier, free-spirited side of his runway girls. Pita created a braid down the part of the hair, while Garland's modern cat eye sat in the crease of the lid.
Missoni Spring 2015
Hair: Paul Hanlon for Moroccanoil
Makeup: Lucia Pieroni for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: The boho-chic look was enhanced with head scarves. Hanlon created a chignon then added some stuffing to fill out the hair beneath the fabric.
Blumarine Spring 2015
Hair: James Pecis for Moroccanoil
Makeup: Tom Pecheux for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: To give the girls an ultrafeminine, polished look, Pecis pin-curled the models' locks, brushed out the style, and added drops of Moroccanoil to give the hair luster.
Just Cavalli Spring 2015
Hair: James Pecis for Moroccanoil
Makeup: MAC Cosmetics
Moschino Spring 2015
Makeup: Lucia Pieroni for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: Even if you hadn't seen the clothes, you'd immediately think of Barbie! To give skin a plastic-like finish, she applied MAC Cosmetics Mineralize Skinfinish ($32), a supershimmery powder, to each model.
Prada Spring 2015
Hair: Guido for Redken
Makeup: Pat McGrath
Inspiration: To create a "poetic" feel to the look, McGrath created a smudgy, worn-in cat eye and drew sharp arches on top of the brow bone, then filled in beneath with powder.
DSquared2 Spring 2015
Hair: Sam McKnight
De Vincenzo Spring 2015
De Vincenzo Spring 2015
Alberta Ferretti Spring 2015
Hair: Guido for Redken
Makeup: Diane Kendal for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: Kendal aimed for "effortless makeup" by simply adding bronzer to hydrated skin, curling lashes, and adding light eyeliner.
Max Mara Spring 2015
Hair: Sam McKnight for Pantene
Makeup: Tom Pecheux for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: Pecheux credits Anjelica Huston (an extraordinary woman) as the inspiration for this look. He created an exaggerated cat eye using a red-orange pigment, eschewing blush in favor of moisturizer for radiance.
Gucci Spring 2015
Hair: Orlando Pita
Makeup: Pat McGrath for Gucci Cosmetics
Inspiration: Pita was inspired by "freshness," particularly a girl who doesn't go to the salon. He created the natural look by tying back air-dried hair and taming flyaways at the front of the crown.
Stella Jean Spring 2015
Hair: Elia Plate for Redken
Makeup: Michele Magnani for MAC Cosmetics
Inspiration: The inspiration for this look was "a contemporary woman." Magnani added subtle touches of highlighter and lightly groomed the brows by brushing them upward and filling them in with pencil.
