Ombré has been a hot concept in hair color for the past few years, but here, the makeup artist Francelle gives the idea a twist, blending two shadows (Covergirl Flamed Out Shadow Pots in Turquoise Glow and Melted Gold) for a fresh take on the smoky eye. The effect is fuzzy and relaxed, rather than color-blocked. But Francelle insists she’s not interested in the makeup equivalent of bed head. “Blending the colors a lot allows them to settle in, so you get that lived-in look,” she explains. “It’s not slept-in or messy. I hate the word ‘messy’ in makeup. Messy means you’ve been crying and mascara is running all over.”

When it comes to nails, Anatole Rainey is a classicist. “It’s all about a lovely oval shape, with the perfect nude or red,” says the 35-year-old manicurist, who was recently tapped by Dior to be its first international nail designer. “But there’s always room for a metallic.” Rainey’s hire coincides with the relaunch of Dior Vernis polish collection, 24 supershiny shades featuring bold reds and chic neutrals, as well as this lovely rose gold Vibrato. “It’s an elegant, jewel-like alternative to a nude nail,” says Rainey of the hue. “And it quite holds its own against the real thing.” Dior Fine Jewelry rings.
