Tonight is all about make up for Chanel!
The annual pre-Bafta bash for London Fashion Week hosted by Charles Finch and Chanel is one of the biggest parties in town. Held at Annabel’s anyone who is anyone will be there, so it’s a super busy evening for make up artists and hairdressers alike who fly from door to door getting everyone ready. I love the excitement of working on this event.
My clients for this year were Lily Allen and Elisa Sednaoui.
I was thrilled to have one of the expert team whom Ive had the pleasure of teaching alongside to assist me. Thank you to Fleur @ Chanel, you were fantastic under pressure!
The looks were completely different and of course all the make up was by Chanel.
Lily Allen
Products used all by Chanel
For Lily’s look we used the new VITALUMIERE COMPACT DOUCEUR FOUNDATION.
Perfect for red carpet make up. It smooths, perfects and has high definition technology. What I love about this foundation is its absolutely flawless close up and also works beautifully with camera flash.
Contouring was done with LES BEIGES. On the cheeks JOUES CONTRASTE in ROSE ECRIN. Lily’s signature flick was done with STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF in NOIR INTENSE. Lashes were pumped up in LE VOLUME Mascara in NOIR. On the lip Lily wore a gorgeous pop of the new ROUGE ALLURE in MELODEUSE.
Elisa Sednaoui
Elisa asked for a Red lip to go with her 40s styled wavy hair.
We began by contouring with BRONZE UNIVERSALLE and highlighting with ECLAT LUMIERE. We used VITALUMIERE COMPACT FOUNDATON to perfect and finish skin for camera flash. STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF in EXPRESSO was used at the roots of lashes,followed by INIMITABLE in Noir. On the lip we used Rouge Allure in PASSION.
