Nude makeup, blue and modernism: we took a look at some of the best hair and makeup trends from the runway shows in London.
Nude
Once again ’nude’ look faces appeared all over the runways. Korean designer J JS Lee used it to match the minimalism of her tailored pieces, similar to the theme at Christopher Raeburn, where Debbie Finnegan used MAC products to create a natural and fresh look. Makeup artist Lucia Pieroni was in charge of the Christopher Kane show and also stuck to the nude theme, filling in brows and adding a light highlight to the cheeks for finish.
Blue eyes
Blue eyeliner and eyeshadow featured at a number of shows, including Temperley London, where the ultramarine was paired with a soft peach lip. Giles and Michael van der Ham also worked the trend, adding a little more glitter in the process.
Quirky modernism
The prints in London took on a quirky tone this season with plenty of post-modern mash-ups and strange hand motifs appearing on the runway. At Holly Fulton makeup artist Andrew Gallimore used metallic eyeliner to create double-take double copper lines in the girls’ eye sockets.
Centre partings
Hair-wise it was all about the loose center-parting. At Preen hair was parted in the middle and pulled back loosely over the ears, with a few flyaway hairs for effect. Topshop Unique’s ’naughty schoolgirls’ were given center-parted straightened hair by stylist Anthony Turner. Then at John Rocha hair was held with product in the centre and fell damply to the side.
