You can always count on Terry Barber, Mac's director of make-up artistry, to offer a unique voice on current beauty trends – some of which he sets and some of which he outrightly swerves.
An example of the latter being contouring. Or "aggressive power chiselling" as he passionately puts it. The antidote to the contouring trend that's inspiring him? The late, great, Princess of Wales.
'The Shy Di Blush' as Barber coined it, is about full, flushed cheeks which suggest a coy innocence.
Sure, Diana's iconic look might actually have something to do with mild rosacea, but we're taking Barber's point as a reminder of how beautiful it is to see real skin instead of heavy make-up.
In a time of samey looks celebrated online, everything the backstage make-up legend shares on his Instagram account comes with a refreshing dose of originality. For out-there inspiration and honesty, it's a must-follow.
