Beauty Insider – Fashion Week Special

By Ellen Burney

Legendary make-up artist Kay Montano has been working backstage at London Fashion Week since it started 25 years ago. Here, she recalls the dynamic beauty scene of the 1980s and reveals how the look – which is big news in beauty again this year - has been updated for 2009.
