The sharpie-like writing on the models' faces at VFiles made a case that a statement doesn't always mean wearing a bold lip, nor do you have to fix your lipstick if it gets smudged, as proven on some of the models who wore smudged pink lips.

Oil slick just got a whole new meaning thanks to Hood By Air. Hairstylist Amy Farid for Bumble and bumble was inspired by the idea of "mischievious children getting ino various beauty products," and wanted them to "look a little awkward and it's like Hood By Air are the mischievious children in this fashion world." She used Bumble and bumble Curl Gel-Oil ($34; bumbleandbumble.com) to get the job done, and vaseline was used on the models' faces and hair for a clumpy, shiny effect.
