Here’s one look of show that’s standing out amidst all the bold, urban, and even vampire-inspired beauty trends we’ve seen at Fall 2010 Fashion Week: Lela Rose looked up to the sky, the moon, and the stars for the beauty inspiration of her fall 2010 fashion show.

Makeup artist Tina Turnbow for Beauty.com created a moonlight smokey eye effect using a shimmery dark gray eye shadow (from the Tarte Eye Couture Palette). “The color looks like the midnight sky and the irridesence is reminiscent of the stars,” she says. “The shape of the eye shadow is spherical because it goes well into the inner corners, which makes it look round like a planet and opens up the eye.” Even the lip has a celestial twist. “It’s a cloudy sheer white gloss,” says Turnbow. The models’ nails were painted with Deborah Lippmann Across The Universe nail polish, a midnight blue with lots of sparkle–another nod to the sky and the stars.

For hair, Ted Gibson for Beauty.com (recently famed for his recent Kate Gosselin makeover) created a polished and sophisticated French twist. He whipped up lots of volume and texture using Build It Blow-Dry Spray while blow-drying, then shaped the back of the twist into a crescent moon to top off the lunar-inspired look.

Honestly, I think she looks hideous. Am I the only one?

Yes, I agree – the hair looks awful. I do like the sweater, but horizontal stripes aren’t so good for most regular folk. The nailpolish is still vampire-y. When can we move on from Twilight?

I like the whole deal- hair, makeup, and clothes. The hair is too teased, but come on, it’s the runway! Otherwise I find it really cool and wearable.

Yikes – the nails are horrid!

I actually like the eyes and nails. Not so sure about the hair.
