MAKEUP ARTIST QUINN MURPHY
BEAUTY INSPIRATION:
"To complement Jessica's black dress, I focused her look around black eyeliner while keeping the rest of the makeup bronze and warm. It was 80 degrees in Central Park so a sun-kissed coral look was unseasonably appropriate."
GET THE LOOK: "After prepping her skin with moisturizer, I used Chanel Sheer Illuminating Base to create a smooth surface and add lasting power to the makeup. I also applied RMS Beauty "Un" Cover-Up in Shade 44. Next I applied Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in #9 using a damp Beautyblender sponge. Using the NARS Multiple in Vientiane, I framed her face. I applied the bronze cream on the edges of her face to create dimension - under the cheekbones, temples, and under the jawline. I applied the same NARS Bronzer to the center of her eyelids and blended upward and out. Next I applied Estee Lauder Black Gel Eyeliner along the top lash line, making the line thicker on the outer edges and giving it a flick for a cat eye effect. I applied Armani Eyes to Kill Black Mascara on the top and bottom lashes. I used NARS Powder Blush in Deep Throat on the apples of the cheeks. I then used NARS Powder Bronzer in Casino to subtly contour the cheekbones. It's softer than a traditional taupe contour shade. On her lips I applied a sheer peachy bronze lipstick that was Jessica's own."

BEAUTY INSPIRATION:
"My inspiration for Jessica's hair was the music festival itself. Cool rock chic with a little bit of punk - hence the braid, giving the affect of a buzzed side. I also wanted a the high pony to look young and effortless."
GET THE LOOK:
"Beginning with wet hair, I applied a volumizing spray at the roots to help create texture and volume. I blow dried the hair with a diffuser to keep the natural movement in the length and ends, but smoothed out the hairline.
Once hair was dry, I sprayed the whole head with a small amount of dry shampoo to give a second day feel. This also helps to get a good grip on the hair when pulling it into a high ponytail. I used a brow mascara on the hair line to tame any fly aways.
Once the ponytail was secured, i sprayed a bit of thermal spray and used a flat iron to create irregular waves throughout the hair. The spray gave the hair great hold as I knew she was going to be outside all day and touch ups would not be possible."
