The makeup and hair at Tommy Hilfiger was definitely in line with the designer’s quintessential All-American aesthetic. The guys rocked graphic sleek hair while the ladies had a similar smooth look in the front with soft waves for added softness in the back.

For a glamorous yet natural face MAC makeup artist Victor Cemebellin needed just a few products. MAC eye shadow in Goldmine was swept across the lids to keep the face fresh, while a pewter eye liner added definition and a fall feel. Says Cemebllin, “It’s very Nantucket girl, very Tommy. The look is a balance, an equal competition between gold eyes, shiny cheeks, and a natural lip.” Where so many other shows have been all about an intense focus on one feature, it was refreshing to see a look where everything worked together.

Angie Wingle for CND custom blended a new color specifically for the collection. Says Wingle, “It’s a skin tone color with full coverage. There’s a gold shimmer to it that really enhances the makeup.” While chatting about the shimmery shade she noticed my dry cuticles and before I knew it I was getting a mini mani! A backstage first!
