Julien Macdonald's metallic mermaid makeup at London Fashion Week

Makeup at Julien Macdonald's Spring/Summer 2015 London Fashion Week show was as glamorous as ever, if pared back a little compared with the glossy Autumn/Winter 2014 Vamp.

Led by Val Garland using L'Oreal Paris, makeup artists picked up Julien's aquatic fashion theme using metallic shades and glossy textures.


While eyes were framed and highlighted with two shades of gold - one light for both inner and outer corners, one darker for the centre of lids and carried into the brow - skin was kept dewy, lips slicked with shades of coral Matte Glam, and cheeks pinched with apricot coloured blush.

Jenni Draper coated nails in L'Oreal 002 Gris Eternel, warming or cooling the shade with topcoats of white and cream to soften according to models' skin tones.


Tanning meanwhile, came courtesy of St Tropez and in the form of a mermaid inspired gleam, thanks to the brand new facial oil beneath makeup (out in March), plus instant tan buffed into limbs and finished with glossy body oil.

James Pecis picked up the mermaid cue for hair too, which came slicked at the roots with a carefully crafted outward flick at the nape (achieved with stitched elastic and product, rather than pins).


Thanks to the L'Oreal Paris team!
