London Fashion Week Looks from the Academy of Freelance Make Up Pro Team

Posted: Wednesday March 10, 2010

The 1980s made another comeback at this year's fashion weeks, where make-up artists were instructed to keep eye make-up slightly messy, even lived in, as if the models had done it themselves. At London’s Falguni & Shane Peacock show, Academy of Freelance Make Up Pro Team artist Rachel Wood used that not-too-perfect, '80s Vogue-style colored eye shadow to complement the embellished '80s-style clothing.

Korres was the show's cosmetics sponsor: AOFM Pro Team members applied the company's Long-Lasting Eyeliner Pencils in Blue, Blue Petrol and Blue Black on the models' lids, topped with Shimmering Eye Shadow in Sky Blue. The team also used a Soft Eyeliner Pencil in Black under the eye, smudging it to the outer corners. A Shimmering Eye Shadow in Golden Brown was applied to the inner eye and a dab of M.A.C. pigment in Golden Lemon gave a finishing shine to the inner corners, creating a peacock effect. Korres Lash-Strengthening Mascara in Blue-Black was left thick and slightly clumpy on the lashes.

Skin was kept simple and clean, with just a dab of the Korres blush in Natural and Cherry Oil Lip Gloss in Nude to complement the eyes without overwhelming them.

U.K. team collaborates for a different 'Alice in Wonderland' - Tuesday August 04, 2009

On a cold and cloudy Oxford afternoon, U.K. make-up artist Sarah Terry collaborated with photographer Rebecca Parkes, hairstylist Sean Butt and designer Bibian Blue to create this dark vision of Alice in Wonderland. The Victorian and Edwardian eras inspired Terry to contrast creams and gold hues with vibrant reds and smoky blacks. Appliqués, feathers, nail art and Butts’ elaborate hair design gave the looks texture. This particular Alice (Samantha Wilkinson) and White Rabbit (Blossom Blois) look innocent, but there’s a hint of mischief here, too. Let’s follow them down the path, shall we?
