Backstage beauty SOPHISTICATED BRIGHTS The touch of athleticism that was evident on the Spring/Summer catwalks at Stella McCartney and Antonio Berardi translates to dressing tables in the glorious form of highly-pigmented tones which are used singly, chosen with care and applied with precision. Contouring the brow with orange and green is the most artistic interpretation of the trend (overseen by MAC gurus backstage at Vivienne Westwood Gold Label and Manish Arora) but by far the most forgiving is a confident slick of crackling colour on the lips, be it fuschia, tangerine or fiery red.
RECREATE THE LOOK 1. Choose a high quality lip colour with an intense pigment. 2. Ensure lips are smooth by using a toothbrush to remove dead skin cells. 3. Apply lip liner and then colour with a lip brush for an even finish.
