Product versatility: “What I also like to do for highlighting is mix the clear Baby Lips with a Colour Tattoo in Barely Branded as it makes a beautiful highlight. We’ve been doing this a lot backstage on the cheekbone area. Baby Lips gives just the right amount of dew to the skin without making it look glossy.”
A perfect pout: “On the lips, we’ve used two new colours (depending on the model’s own lip hue) from the new Whispers collection, which are coming out in 20 shades in January. They’re very sheer, very pretty and we’re using them to bits. Literally, I don’t even have any left as we’re gouging them out and screaming ‘I need more!’ So the two main colours we use are called Petal Rebel and It Mauve. They’re great for the everyday woman who doesn’t want a lipstick per se, but also doesn’t want to do a lip balm. It’s kind of that perfect in-between.”
What’s trending: “One of the key trends for this Spring is definitely a bold lip. Joe Fresh, Arthur Mendonca and Evan Bidell all did their own versions of a red and, whether it be a little more orange or fuchsia, it’s still sticking in that tone. I would also say they all wanted that beautiful dewy skin, so yes, those are the two main trends that are screaming out at me. As well as pastels. Like Easter egg eyes to match all the colourful leathers on show this year. I think little eye accents will be making a big comeback in the way that coloured jeans did.”
