Ahead of the prestigious AW13 Merit Award Show, which has been won
by Central Saint Martin graduate Yifang Wan this year; Fashion Scout head
backstage to speak to The Body Shop team about their make-up aesthetic. Here’s what
make-up artist Clare Degraft told us:
Tell us about the concept
you and your team has created:
“The clothes in the Ying
Fan Wang collection this season are high impact and dark, so we have gone for a
natural aesthetic, to be sure not to detract from the main point of focus – the
designs. Skin is high shine and dewy as opposed to matt, eyebrows are natural
but defined and lips are nude. We created this look using the Body Shop Radiant
Highlighter, the Moist It Skin Primer and the Extra Virgin Mineral powder on
the face, the Brow and Lash Gel on the eyebrows and the Vitamin E Balm on the
lips’.
How does it feel to be
working on the most prestigious show?
“It’s amazing saying I have
been part of something so big and extreme, the interest it creates for both the
brand and The Body Shop is huge. It has provided me with a fantastic
opportunity”.
What are you anticipating
most this season?
“It’s only day two so I am
looking forward to else Fashion Scout has in store for us, but I am
particularly excited about working with Zeynep Tosun this afternoon where the
make up will be darker and more theatrical, giving me an opportunity to unleash
my creativity”.
