We sneak backstage at Christopher Kane
As one of London Fashion Week’s hottest designers it’s no surprise that Christopher Kane’s show was as hard to get into as a nun’s knickers. If there had been any more important looking people holding clipboards I would have been mistaken for thinking it was the pope who was just about to walk into the trendy warehouse in East London – but alas it was Scottish born designer and one of this week’s biggest tickets, Christopher Kane. Backstage was hot and busy, too much so for my liking but I still managed to catch up with Lucia Pica head make-up artist for MAC who said the make-up look they were creating was ‘Princess Anne on acid’. Her words not mine! It’s all about looking prim and proper but with a flush of colour on the cheeks indicating a touch of naughtiness to the models look - like they had been messing around in the hay. The skin was completely fresh and flawless – of course – and Lucia opted for a peachy blusher (she used the MAC Blush Ombre in Ripe Peach) as it gives a warmer colour to the apples of the cheeks as opposed to pink shades which can leave skin with a cold bluey undertone. The eyes had a dash of eye liner (minus any fancy flicks thank you very much) and shock horror no mascara. Is this really a trend we will be following? No mascara?
Finally the lip was painted a soft rose colour so as not to overpower the whole look and hey presto a make-up look worthy of a princess but edgy enough for one of London’s hippest designers. We like.
