A few pops of colour in the form of statement lips were obvious at the likes of Prabal Gurung & Jason Wu, yet besides the usual suspects, there has undoubtedly been a more muted makeup trend for spring - the tonal palette. The process requires the complementary and contrasting neutral shades with both cool and warm undertones - demonstrated perfectly at Diane von Furstenberg.
Makeup artist, James Kaliardos smudged about ten different shades of MAC's versatile Cream Colour Base (£14.50) on a plastic plate/mixing tray to create custom blend pigments to suit each models skin tone. Inspired by "modern Africa", Kaliardos sculpted cheeks & with colours slightly darker than each girls complexion and added dimension to eyes by building in a lighter centre and inner corner area.
Lashes were curled and swiped with Mascara while brows were strengthened using MAC Eyeshadow in Omega (£12).
Hairstylist Orlando Pita sculpted sixties silhouettes with a French twist, following the shape of the head. Hair was dried with T3 Plump Heat-Seeking Liquid Hair Plumper (£15) and adding a hefty amount of its Control Hairspray (£8.50) for a matte texture. To put his own stamp on the classic look, Pita started the style at the top of the head and rolled it down, pinning as he went. "Usually twists go up," he pointed out.
