All Access: Backstage at Georges Chakra

Who: The beautiful creations of Lebanon-based designer Georges Chakra have been worn by some of Hollywood’s sexiest bodies.

The Collection: Chakra’s Fall/Winter 2009 Ready-to-Wear collection can be summed up in a few words: modern, liquid, posh and exquisite. My eyes were glued to every one of Chakra’s forty piece collection as they glided down the runway.

If the mélange of futuristic fabrics, ombre taffeta and sparkling crystals is just for his ready to wear collection, I can see why his custom-made gowns are a mainstay at red carpet events.

Face: Gregory Arlt of MAC Cosmetics brought back the mid-90’s with a soft and pretty look. Instead of emphasizing one key feature, color was evenly distributed throughout the face. The result was a balanced, hydrated and radiant look.

The eyes were “smoky light” by using a mauve gray hue instead of the usual black. The chic eyebrows were groomed and defined. The kissable lips were shaded a color Arlt called “vintage rose” using MAC Cremesheen Glass in Boy Bait.

Hair: Amy Farid of Bumble and Bumble contributed a modern update of the classic chignon to the overall look. The look is created by pulling the hair towards the left and sweeping it under to create an asymmetrical bun. Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray is used to provide texture as well as to make the hair more hairpin-friendly.

Spotted Backstage: Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, Starbucks coffee and Maybelline Great Last mascara.
