Watch the Hair and Makeup Test at Jill Stuart

In three days, Jill Stuart will send her spring collection down the runway. Yesterday at her studio, the designer’s to-do list included casting the models (she and her team saw 120 girls; 25 will walk the show), hunting down some fabric that had gone MIA (oh, no big deal), and deciding on the all-important hair and makeup. Stuart told hairstylist Odile Gilbert and makeup artist Diane Kendal that she wanted a look reminiscent of “old Hollywood glamour.” Click to watch how Kendal and Gilbert interpreted Stuart’s directive with sequined hair accessories (a first for Stuart), dewy skin, and greasy eyes (this is actually a good thing!) in this exclusive video for The Cut.
