From the beauty desk:
"There isn't a muse this season," makeup artist Val Garland disclosed backstage, but that didn't mean inspiration was lacking at Mary Katrantzou. "It's just a super-fabulous finish, and it's very Mary," she continued. MAC's forthcoming lip stains were used to create a diffused red lip that struck the perfect balance of blue and yellow tones. "There is so much going on in the collection—so many patterns, embellishments, and materials—that it was important to keep the makeup quite simple: fresh skin and a matte mouth," she added. Complexions were flawlessly reflective with a light layer of MAC Mineralize Foundation, and lashes were left completely bare. "This season there is either loads of mascara or nothing at all. There's no middle ground," Garland said.
