B e a u t y c o n t r a ct : Although closely affiliated with Nars, MAC and Sunday Riley backstage at the shows, Diane isn’t tied down by one particular make-up brand, making her a free agent in the world of make-up. She was heavily involved in the creation of the Calvin Klein cosmetics brand, too.

The bright red lips at Antonio Berardi. Created by layering no less than five layers of lipstick. D id y o u k n o w ? Originally Chelsea Westman, she chose the name Gucci —short for ‘Gurucharan’, which is Hindi for ‘she who sits at the feet of the guru’ – after a two-year stint in an ashram. She is married to David Neville, one half of the design duo behind rag & bone and she also played a small cameo in the Sex and The City movie.
Diane creates the ‘no make-up make-up’ looks. Best known for creating that ‘raw’ skin effect, she almost never works with make-up brushes, preferring to use her fingers to fuse make-up with skin for a supremely natural finish. Boyish, bushy brows are also one of her trademarks.

Flexing her make-up muscles, Diane went beyond the natural she is celebrated for to create subversive, deep wine-stained lips at Helmut Lang. D id y o u k n o w ? She counts hairdresser Guido Palau as one of her nearest and dearest. Friends for more than three decades, they moved from England to New York at the same time in the mid ’80s, living just one block from each other.
