What better way
to celebrate CCM®’s
5th birthday and the 50th anniversary of Hearst
Castle® than
with a high-fashion photo shoot? The September 2008 “Golden
Age of Hearst” cover and feature article is
a tribute to the glamour and allure of the Central
Coast’s most treasured historical landmark.
Inspiration
We created an old-Hollywood-meets-modern-day-glamour
look by mixing contemporary styles with classic flapper
fashions from the ’20s and ’30s. Fun
and flashy flapper accessories like turbans and peacock
feathers (and famous actresses of the time like Greta
Garbo and Louise Brooks) were our primary sources
of inspiration.

Get the Look
Hairstylists Jericho Mora, Jessi Skipton, and Ashley
Altorfer, and makeup artist Brynn Zinsman made the
look come to life. “I added more shimmer so
that the makeup wouldn’t look as vampy as it
did in the ‘20s,” says Zinsman. “That’s
what is really in right now—a smoky eye with
metallic on top.” Mora topped off the iconic
flapper face with an adaptation on the turban.
Jericho’s Styling
Tips:
“This look was kept simple: iconic flapper
era. The hair was curled with a hot marcel iron and
then pinned
flat to the head. Paul Mitchell Gloss Drops® were
used to create curl control and a patent-leather
shine. The hair was then wrapped in gold ribbon and
a china silk scarf.”
Brynn’s Makeup
Tricks:
“I created a classic smoky eye using Estée
Lauder Automatic Eye Pencil Duo in Jet Black, but
I updated the look by adding a layer of gold shadow
on top. I also applied feathered false eyelashes
for emphasis, and for fun.”
