A look to brighten a rainy day:Stella McCartney Spring 2010

This was definitely a beauty look that only the truly young and gorgeous could pull off with panache i.e. not much at all on either the hair or make up front! It was a great chance for the models’ natural beauty to shine though, and complemented the collection’s understated, easy style perfectly. The make up look was once again the work of Pat McGrath (I’m starting to see a pattern here – the woman is a modern legend), who started by applying a shade of foundation that was a little darker than the models’ complexions to warm their skin tone up a little. Their inner rims were taken a shade darker too with a beige-toned eye pencil, and then a dark brown mascara was favoured over black. The blush appears to be a rosy tone, with a hint of shimmer also added to give a little extra definition. Last up? Clear gloss and a smile. Eugene Souleiman was in charge of creating super natural, slightly textured hair, working with the models’ own hair type as much as possible so that they all had an individual look. Wella Ocean Spritz was used on the few with dead straight hair to add a little movement and shake things up a little, but the majority of the girls who took to the catwalk were entirely sans product and loving it. It was supermodel Natalia Vodianova’s only appearance on the catwalk for the week, and her au naturel style made her the absolute epitome of the Stella girl.
