Red lips
‘Crushed rose petals’ was the inspiration behind make-up artist Val Garland’s look at Antonio Berardi – velvety matte lips that popped on an otherwise muted face. ‘The trick is to layer pencil, lipstick and a pigment like MAC’s Basic Red on top of each other so you get a dense, opaque texture’ she told us. At Lanvin, red lips were the height of elegance paired with softly contoured skin and feathered headpieces, while the cherry red mouths and nude skin on the Costume National catwalk hinted at a sultry, 1940’s influence. At Elie Saab make-up artist Tom Pecheux paid homage to Parisian chic with graphic red lips teamed with dark brows and porcelain skin.
