“Vivienne’s brief was for slightly boyish make-up that embraced the idea of shadows from light, so I looked to the photography of Penn and Avedon and how they would shape and shade a face with light”, says the very creative Gordon Espinet from MAC.
Espinet also revealed, “Half the girls have shading on both sides of their face, 7 have shading only on the left, 7 only from the right”.
Here are the simple steps to achieve this look with MAC products:
Eyes:
1. Powder Blush in Taupe, Eye Shadow in Quarry, Eye Shadow in Copper Plate were all washed (layered from Taupe to Copperplate) from the lash line to the brow with a soft 224 brush, and taken beneath the eye and down the sides of the nose with a 219 brush.
2. No mascara.
Face:
1. Strobe Liquid was mixed with Face And Body Foundation in White and either C1 or C2 were used to give the skin a translucent pallor, a dreamlike glow.
2. Powder Blush in Taupe was used as a foundation for the contour.
3. Eye Shadow in Quarry was applied to cool down the colour.
4. Eye Shadow in Copperplate was used to deepen the shadows
All of the above were applied with a 116 brush for an airbrushed effect, on the cheekbones, temples, ears and jaw.
Lips:
1. Lip Erase in Pale was applied to the lips.
2. Lip Pencil in Stone was applied to the top lip only, and beneath the lower lip.
3. Eye Shadow in Copperplate was layered over the lip pencil for a matte grey brown tone.
