One of the shows I popped backstage to at London Fashion week was Holly Fulton (See Issa & Kinder here). I was lucky enough to see the makeup, hair and nails action, all of which I absolutely loved. It was all about an LA surf girl, someone who's chic and sporty that doesn't wear too much makeup.
Firstly the hair, which was very holiday inspired, none of it looked uniform and it all looked random and messy. L'Oreal's Hair Stylist Shon started off by prepping the hair with L'Oreal Paris Studio Silk & Gloss Mousse to give a 'rough and carefree' effect to the hair. Shon then raved about the L'Oreal Matt & Messy Shine Free Salt Spray (which I also raved about here!) saying 'I don't normally say amazing, but this is amazing' as he applied it throughout the hair whilst blowdrying it to give a 'tousled look to the texture'. After sweeping the hair to one side and creating a fringe and using a braid as a hairband, Shon plaited the hair very messily at the back. He wanted it to look very random and messy as all the models can't look the same. To finish off he added a pin in the bottom of the plait, which tied in which the pastel colours of the clothes.
The makeup was inspired by the 1st female skateboarder Kerry McGee, it was all very toasted and sun kissed. Matt skin, fake freckles and a fluro two tone bright lip, which was my absolute favourite. Skin was powdered with Mac Select Sheer Loose Powder, followed by freckles with Mac Brow Pencils in Lingering & Stud. Eyes were totally neglected, absolutely nothing was going on there, not even a quick curl of the lashes. All focus was on the lip, which was bright pink and orange, playful and fun. This was done with Mac Lip Pencil in Embrace Me all over the lip followed by Lip Mix in Fuchsia , White and Orange.
The nails were a sunny mixture of colours from Mavala, 179 Lemon Cream all over the nail followed by a touch of 154 Aqua Marine, 153 Lagoon and White in the corners of the nail which tied in beautifully with the hair.
I loved seeing everything translate and come together on the catwalk, particularly the hair which looked incredible tied in with the clothes and the whole LA girl look! Do you think you could wear this look in real life?
