Backstage Beauty at Sally LaPointe
The Theme: Depeche Mode’s song “In Your Room”
The Nail Look: Nail lead artist Patricia Yankee used the collection’s modern Gothic theme to create a textured
nail that is easy to DIY at home.
Products Used: Patricia by Patricia Yankee polish in Flesh, soon to appear in Ricky’s beauty stores.
How to Recreate the Look: Apply two coats of a soft matte fleshy color from the cuticle down. At the tip of
the nails, top them off with a shiny neutral polish to create texture. No top coat is needed.
The Makeup: Make-up artist Kabuki for MAC Cosmetics focused most of the attention on the model’s lips, creating a “just bitten” look with a berry stain. The face was given a matte pallor with foundation while the cheekbones were sculpted with a pale pink concealer. The eyes got a touch of taupe shadow with no mascara for a bare feel. Brows were kept neutral in order to keep the rest of the face toned down in comparison to
the dark lips.
MAC Products Used: Matchmaster Foundation, Pro Longwear Concealer, Prep+Prime Transparent
Finishing Powder, Lightscape Mineralize Sinfinish, Taupe Sculpting Powder, Dazzlelight Eyeshadow,
Amorous Lipstick, Nightmoth Lip Pencil, Dollymix
Hair: Pantene Celebrity Stylist Danilo created a soft look for hair with low loose chignons with a few
tendrils of hair framing the face.

The Sally LaPointe Fall 2013 Collection
The Theme: Depeche Mode’s song “In Your Room”
The Color Palette: Black, dark red, camel, and white
About the Collection: For her fall 2013, Sally LaPointe took a dark trip into one of Depeche Mode’s songs and emerged with looks that were edgy and dramatic. Many of the pieces made fine use of texture and mixing different fabrics such as colored leathers, crocodile skin, ocelot-print wool, suede, silk, and mohair. A burgundy ombrè silk gown with cutouts was paired with red leather gloves and black leather gator stockings. All of these textured pieces were an exciting and dramatic departure from the fur that is commonly seen on clothes for fall and helped to create an edgier look to combat the cold winter months.
