This week signaled an end to what has been a fantastic experience for me and the Max Factor Make Up team. The final runway show saw us prep over 50 models - adrenalin at its best! With each designers make up looks tweaked throughout the week during our one on one sessions, the team and I felt really confident. Our biggest hurdle was ensuring the models didn't eat their lipsticks off as with any filming there is always a lot of waiting around and contrary to what you may have heard models do like to eat!
For William's collection make up we focused a lot on the lips so spent a lot of time ensuring they were as rich as they could be by applying lots of gloss over graduated red shades. Laurens models also required a lot of lip work as she wanted strong black based lips finished with lots of dark red gloss. Anthony's make up look was very in keeping with his colour palette: Black, Black and a little blue! We used stormy blue eyeshadow, liquid eyeliner (very strategically) and False Lash Effect Mascara to accentuate the eyes and compliment his designs. We kept the lips subtle and natural using silk gloss.
With emotions running as high as they were backstage though it was very cute of William to ensure his Mum looked her best prior to the show. I touched up her face with some concealer, blush and lip gloss so she looked fresh and fabulous under the lights. When William came back to get his Mum there were tears all round as it started to dawn on us all how momentous this occasion was!
Thanks to everyone for watching the show. We hope we've inspired you to try a new look! And finally congrats to all the designers, Henry and crew, miss you guys already x
