When I walked backstage, at Chado Ralph Rucci during Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week S/S 2010, and realized the key artist was Tom Pecheux, my smile reached my ears!  Pecheux is one makeup artist whom I have followed since a teenager.  He is an inspiration and to have the opportunity to meet him and see first hand the look he designed for Chado Ralph Rucci, was amazing!

The look, with top and bottom lashes, did not disappoint.  He created a look that stood apart from the rest by using black shadow smoked in the outer corner of eyes and lashes placed in the outer corner, on top and bottom.  The rest of the face was kept natural.

Key Hairstylist Laurent Philippon created a sculpted, organic shaped chignon.  Using liberal amounts of Bb. Gel, from Bumble and bumble, sealed the look and a plastic effect which reflected off the runway.
