Get the Look: Yves Saint Laurent
At yesterday’s Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris, Redken Creative Consultant Guido was backstage working his magic to put the finishing touches to the overall look of the designers’ Fall/Winter collection. See below for the must-have products and inspiration!
YVES SAINT LAURENT
Inspired by the refined, modern, elegant and bourgeois French woman, Guido created a stylized, sophisticated chignon with lacquered look around the front hair line. “At Yves Saint Laurent, we took a classic chignon and modernized it for this house; the key was using Redken hardwear 16 super strong gel along the hairline to give it that lacquered effect.” -Guido, Redken Creative Consultant
Products:
•Redken 16 Hardwear Super Strong Gel
•Redken Forceful 23 Super Strength Finishing Spray
Create the look:
1. Pull hair into low ponytail, keeping the sides smooth
2. Wrap the hair in upon itself to create a flat chignon
3. Secure with pins and forceful 23 super strength finishing spray to hold
4. Along the front portion of the hairline, apply hardwear 16 super strong gel from the hairline to about 3 inches back
5. Finish with forceful 23 to create a very sophisticated, lacquered style

Perfume of the Week: Parisienne by Yves Saint Laurent
The essence of a woman who is incredibly free—she is not from Paris, but Paris adopts her. She knows how to love, how to live. Parisienne is the fragrance of ultra-femininity and sensuality, built with notes of blackberry, damask rose, and sandalwood. The grand floral with a woody structure is luminous even in its mystery.
If you’re looking for a new scent – Parisienne is the one for you! Parisienne
is absolutely luscious. It's sweet but not overly so, when you smell it you just want to keep smelling and smelling it. It's addicting. Every day you wear it, you’ll fall more in love with it. And while other perfumes may smell nice, this one packs a punch, but in a great way! There is something very fresh about it. Parisienne
offers a very different scent: feminine, fresh, sweet, and rose like.
A 1.6 oz eau de parfum spray usually retails at $65 but is now on sale for $51.89 at Perfume WorldWide. I encourage those who are on the fence to try it out. You won’t be disappointed either. The rose is unlike any rose you’ll ever smell in other fragrances. Pure femininity in a bottle!
