There’s a certain magic that happens when fashion opposites attract: Think Marni’s exquisite floral toppers worn with Birkenstocks—or Saint Laurent’s embroidered velvet capes paired with flashing gold-soled platforms. In beauty, the same principle holds true—especially when it comes to choosing the right evening hair and makeup. At a Los Angeles screening of The Loft last night, Isabel Lucas showed a particular command over the polished-yet-easy equation by wearing a pastel pink lip and whisper-thin flick of liquid eyeliner with her glittering embellished dress. Paired with a neat updo, the actress’s look would have been simply pretty. But it was her slept-in ponytail and pinned-back flyaway wisps that made it extraordinary. Proof that when it comes to pulling off big night out beauty, it pays to take a calculated risk.
