Blog: London Fashion Week A/W14- Alice Temperley And Matthew Williamson

Beauty breakdowns for two more shows I designed make-up for...

The first show of day two was Temperley London. The collection was beautifully ornate, with folk-inspired embroidery with a lot of textures and layers. For the make-up I wanted to do something that would contrast with the collection. The final look was a blue eye with attitude! Graphic, modern and minimalist with a 'boxy' blunt shape.

Here’s how I created the look:

Face
Although the look was all about the eyes, the skin was really the star of the show. To create the fresh faced glow, I started with Bionic Moisturiser and then applied Sunday Riley’s effortless breathable tinted primer all over the face. Next I used their Liquid Light foundation mainly onto the T-zone and for extra coverage and concealing. I finished skin off using concealer in a shade darker than the girls skintone to very subtly contour, working into the skin and blending.

Eyes
For the electric pop of colour on the eyelid, I used Kryolan’s BL.10 Aquacolour. To create the boxy shape I started a third of the way across and, with the girls looking straight ahead, took the liner straight out bluntly.

Underneath the eyes, I used a vibrant royal blue pigment, letting it drop down a little from the waterline and then blended to create the bottom of the square. I wanted it to be really abstract and not perfect.

Finishing the eyes off by curling the lashes and using The Influencer mascara in Midnight Sapphire, a rich, deep navy blue just on the top lashes completed the eye look.

Brows were kept glossy and groomed with a brow gel.

So that was the look - a graphic and young make-up with a minimalist feel.
