mToday’s amazons, queens of the desert, party girls of the urban underground jungle: it’s women Roberto Cavalli by Fausto Puglisi, who make up gloss black vinyl and leave their long hair in sinuous waves swaying in the wind.
Roberto Cavalli, the backstage beauty among XXL hair
«They are beach waves a little more sophisticated than usual because the movements are the super-natural ones with a wet and naturally dried effect, but instead of creating them with water and salty spray, we are building with cream, oil and plate» he reveals to us Pier Paolo Lai, key hairstylist for Wella Professionals.

In sequence, at the backstage positions we find Wella Professionals EIMI Perfect Me BB Cream light modeling, to hydrate and prepare lengths and extensions, then EIMI Glam Mist Polishing Spray, light effect infused into the waves. At this point, the sinuous and flat curves – not a classic spiral – are modeled with the styler by folding strand by strand on itself in a zigzag fashion, without ever twisting it.

«The result in terms of texture is somehow reminiscent of silk: it’s a slightly grunge but luxurious styling. The collection is very rich and the hair blends with the mood without stealing the show, on the contrary, they integrate: they are never too perfect to maintain a cool, rock allure, and give a nice energy to the walk. Some float, others are entangled in the scarves, some escape, others get stuck inside the clothes: certainly, it is very dynamic hair» continues Pier Paolo Lai.

Will they like maxi hair (also) for next winter? «They are certainly a very strong trend. Here today it works because it is only with this kind of lengths It is possible to see the hair swaying together with the clothes».

Black is liquid
Spectacular, dark but bright, the make-up. The black smokey eye reinvents itself with a simple brushstroke of transparent gloss – it’s MAC Cosmetics Clear Lipglass – all over the eyelid, which skilfully undoes and melts the eyeshadow base. Every blink of an eye is a dazzle, guaranteed eye catching.

The skin must therefore be perfect, prepared with lo sunday riley skincare and then artfully perfected with a play of compact bases that leave the skin with a creamy, soft finish. Sensual, like everything else.
