We
went backstage to see the behind the scenes make up looks for the
Dora Abodi show. Head make up artist for Body Shop Lan talked us
through the looks chosen for the show.
Hi
Lang, what was the inspiration behind this look for the Dora Abodi
show?
We
were originally inspired by the horns created with the models hair
which made us immediately think of fantasy but with a hint of Goth So
the overall look I would say is fantasy Goth but with metallic eyes,
we wanted to make it quite dark by using white porcelain skin but
making the eyes black and glossy. With the lips we wanted to go with
a natural shade which then makes the concept seem more realistic.
What
are the main products that you are using?
We
are using a black Body Shop eye shadow along with metallic Sugar
Cubes to make it glimmer a little bit. When we started with the base
we mixed foundation with the Illuminating Vitamin E Cream as this
makes the skin more translucent so it’s not a heavy foundation and
makes the skin look more porcelain and shiny. We are using gloss on
the eyes in the key areas, these being the inner and outer eye
corners, this brings out the element of the black and makes it look
quite greasy. I would call this an irregular smoky eye as it is
square and looks different on every model.
What
is your favourite part of the look?
We
have got lip piercings and diamonds on the models face which makes
the eyes look really juicy, dirty, grubby but still beautiful at the
same time.
