Makeup Director: Liz Kelsh for Max Factor
Trend: Whimsical Festival
Look: A very dewy, natural look with pops of neon and metallic and lots of emphasis on the lashes
Key Products: NEW Max Factor double ended lipstick, Max Factor Falsh Lash Mascara, Max Factor Full Precision Eye Shadow, Max Factor Second Skin Foundation
Liz explains, "For this show it was important that I created a look that was individual to each girl. The Watson X Watson brand is all about having a unique look and owning it. Coincidently when l was in Europe recently I discovered a new Max Factor double ended lipstick that was specially designed by Pat McGrath in the UK. Straight away I knew we had to have it for the Watson X Watson show. Using the new lipstick enabled me to create an individualised look for each girl using different mixed shades on their lips, eyes and cheeks."
How to Achieve the Look:
1. Apply Max Factor Second Skin Foundation to achieve a flawless, natural looking finish
2. To make the eyes really pop use Max Factor Full Precision Eyeshadow in Beige as a highlighter
3. Afterwards also use Max Factor Full Precision Eyeshadow in Beige as a highlighter around the cheekbones to bring about a natural luminescent glow
4. Then to really open up the eyes; apply two thick coats of Max Factor False Lash Mascara
5. Outline lips with the metallic end of the lipstick
6. Apply coloured matt end of the lipstick to balance the colour of your lips and suit your skin tone
7. For some festival fun, use both ends of the lipstick to create an individualised artistic flare next to your eyes with a cross shape. Make sure you still keep it light and subtle so it isn't too overbearing.
