Rescu. had backstage access to see M.A.C’s best artists work their magic on Day One of RAFW. Here’s some highlights from our favourite shows complete with face charts and how to get the look product guide.
Show: Lisa Ho
Key Make up Artist: Linda Jefferyes for M.A.C
Inspiration:
“Inspiration behind the look: Sophisticated and elegant. Lisa Ho’s model is timeless yet chic. Copper brown eyes and feathered copper brows add a warm glow to this very chic look.”
The look:
Creamy flawless skin with warm copper eye tones shape the eye. Brows are defined slightly heavier and a copper pencil highlights the darker brow. A well contoured face adds shape and definition, lips blend in with the creamy warm skin tone.
How to get The Look:
Face: Face & body foundation,
Eyes: Paints Bamboom, bare canvas, sublime nature. Impeccable brow pencil black, taupe and dirty blonde and Auburn lip pencil. Studio fix lash mascara in Studio Brown.
Lips: lipstick freckletone
Show: Ginger & Smart
Key Make up Artist: Natasha Sevorino for M.A.C
Inspiration:
“The inspiration for this collection comes from inner feminine strength and self-awareness.
I wanted the make up to be naturally sexy for this show. Skin has been left raw yet made luminous, concealing only minor imperfections. Eye’s are defined and sculpted and gold pigment has been used on the eyes and peak of lips to give a ‘futuristic goddess’ feel to the make up. Soft cream coloured paint has been used as future tribal war paint in the centre of the forehead and temples, to relate directly to ones ‘third eye’ and one’s own self-awareness.
Show: Seventh Wonderland
Key Make up Artist: Sam Correy for M.A.C
Inspiration:
“I wanted to steer away from the typical “resort look”, instead making the girls look perfectly refreshed and hydrated, as though they’d been drenched in therapeutic waters, not the sun.”
The look:
The look called for perfectly concealed skin with a dewy, light-reflective quality. I opted for a nude colour palette over vivid shades, and employed liquid shimmer to emphasis the contours of the face, clear gloss to slick the brows, lids and lips, and natural-looking false lashes, together with a hint of cream shadow, to define the eyes.
How to get The Look:
Face: Studio Sculpt Foundation, Prep and Prime Transparent Finishing Powder, Contour with Root Cream Colour Base, Highlight with Strobe Cream and Gloss Crème, Blush with Bamboo Cream Colour Base.
Eyes: Fantastic Frost Cream Colour Base, line lashes with Kid Eyeshadow, Lofty Brown Zoom Lash, Gloss Crème on lids.
Lips: Freckletone Lipstick, Wildly Lush Plush Glass.
