Five easy steps to spring/summer’s pastel clash trend

The spring/summer catwalks were awash with clothes in all shades of nude with blush pinks, dove greys and creamy latte coloured fabrics adorning the sylph-like models. The make-up looks created were also an ode to all that is pale and pastel too. Models for Jaeger, Jason Wu, Karl Lagerfeld and Preen were seen with various shades of pastel worn on the eyes. Our favourite look, however, was at Nicole Farhi where the models were painted with clashing pastels in shades of lavender and green - far prettier than it sounds!

We asked Amanda Tindel, lead make-up artist for Pixi to recreate the look for us in five easy steps.
