Backstage at the Park Choon Moo Spring 2011 fashion show at New York Fashion Week, models donned ghostly minimal makeup with rebellious strands and crisp and cool nails.

MAKEUP: Kabuki for Make Up For Ever
HAIR: Laurent Philippon for Bumble and Bumble
NAILS: Michian
SNAPSHOT: Moody Minimalist

THE SCOOP: The beauty teams for Park Choon Moo's Spring 2011 collection were inspired by the Korean designer's minimalist pieces that embodied a sense of freedom.

Kabuki created an avant garde makeup look with a touch of lightness by muting the models' faces and layering on lashes dipped in white body paint. "I got most of my inspiration from the deconstructed, unexpected quality of her clothes," said the makeup artist. Influenced by the simplicity of the '90s, Laurent Philippon perfected a slightly disheveled hairstyle that enhanced their natural, wavy texture. To add a fresh, spring touch, manicurist Michian rounded out the look with futuristic clear digits.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Make Up For Ever. Start with a clear and even complexion by using Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation. Line lids with a nude concealer pencil to create definition and lightly brush concealer onto brows with a mascara wand to tone down. Apply false eyelashes, using longer lashes on the outer corners and shorter lashes inside for a winged effect. Curl lashes and coat with a white pigment like Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Snow. Finish the look by smoothing on a pale, caramel lip color.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All hair products by Bumble and Bumble. Create a side part and saturate strands in Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme. Apply Bumble and Bumble Prep and Surf Spray onto the ends to hydrate and build texture. Slick one side behind the air and slightly tousled the other side. If you're hair is not naturally wavy, fashion a loose braid, set and release.

GET THE LOOK - NAILS: Remove nail polish and file down to short, square tips. Buff nail bed for smoothness. Apply temporary gel or glue onto nails and place clear acrylic nails on top. And finish by filing nail overlays into an oval point.

Three looks from Vena Cava's Spring 2011 runway show. Photos: Chris Moore, Getty Images

DESIGNER: Vena Cava by Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai

INSPIRATION: 1980s Memphis design movement mixed with a Southern California ease

TOP LOOKS: Tannish-gray, soft-tailored pantsuit with a black, off-the-shoulder jersey T-shirt; gunmetal silk-crepe printed camisole with a long-sleeve shawl and black cotton pressed pants; black cotton gauze slip dress with color-blocked silk appliqués

ACCESSORIES: Rope necklaces and belts; black and orange fabric headbands; platform laced sandals

WHO WAS THERE: Editors and retailers aplenty

WHAT WE THOUGHT: Taking notes from Memphis in the 1980s, when bold geometric shapes and bright colors were mixed with a touch of humor, Mayock and Buhai sent down a collection of beautifully tailored but easy-to-throw-on blazers with perfectly fitted high-waisted pants in colors like black, tan, and gray (which is already shaping up to be a big spring color).

There were lovely silk slip dresses highlighted with a pop of color, mostly orange or blue. While prints weren't in abundance, the few that were there were quite wearable, even for those who usually opt out of prints altogether.
