Following the anticipated showing of Merit Award winner James Kelly's AW15
collection, we caught up with Fashion-Scout's chief make-up artist
Lan Nguyen Grealis backstage to get the lowdown on the looks she
created to accompany the collection.
What
inspired your look for the James Kelly show?
The
inspiration was 'lived-in', we were thinking about a girl that's been
out all night. She's a bit worn out but she still looks amazing, so
quite sweaty, dewy skin with a smudged, dark berry lip that's still
natural-a kind of girl next door with a bit of a dark side.
What
products did you use to bring the concept to life?
To
get the dewy look we used the Aloe Skin Soother and lightly misted
with the Vitamin E Face Mist Spray. For the glossy lids we used wet
make-up brushes and lightly packed on Colour Crush shadow in
Chocolate Linger, followed by a slick of clear mint gloss, and
smudged the lips with Crazy Sexy Crimson.
How
do you get yourself ready for Fashion Week?
Being
the chief make-up artist for Fashion Scout I have to work ahead and
anticipate the trends. So looking at what's happening at couture
shows and what people are wearing. It's hectic coming into Fashion
Week because sometimes designers are so busy creating the collection
that they don't have time to come up with looks so I have to
anticipate their needs.
What
are some of the staple products you'll be using throughout the week?
I'm
definitely loving the Aloe Vera Skin soother to revive tired skin and
the dark browny-red lipstick Crazy Sexy Crimson.
