Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa Backstage at Brandon Sun Spring 2014 Show

It’s always a pleasure to join the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa team backstage at New York Fashion Week. Collectively, the team always delivers amazing beauty looks that can be considered wearable for the everyday woman. For this season, Brandon Sun needed a beauty look that was a mixture of an sophisticated uptown look with the casual deluxe grunge look of downtown.

The Hair: Zahir Ziani, National Creative Director and Master Hair Stylist for Red Door Spa
For Brandon Sun, the hair was swept back into a tousled bun or teased coiff that was not too neat to offset the very put-together pieces in the collection.

The Face: Cesar Olivas, Makeup Artist for Red Door Spa
A natural look, with an emphasis on a nice brow matte face and subtle eyes, mascara free eyes.

The Nails: Adeline Sarino, National Training Director of Nails for Red Door Spa
A drastic matte ombre look using shades of grey to mimic the” look and movement” of the luxe fur in the Brandon Sun collection.
