Makeup by Gucci Westman for Revlon
Since New York Fashion Week is in full swing and all our favourite creative are hard at work bringing you the new looks for the season, I wanted to post my favourite look so far – quelle surprise it’s Rag and Bone. I love the Rag and Bone aesthetic and their shows are always a standout, no less as they are helmed by Gucci Westman, one of my favourite makeup artists. Inspired by early Peter Lindbergh photos of Linda and Christy Turlington, the makeup was simple but striking. Here’s how to get her version of 90’s supermodel glamour.
Revlon Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, created a strong but feminine look by giving models a structured brow with a subtle cheek, lip and eye for rag & bone’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.
“I wanted to create a look that was bold, but still looked soft and natural,” says Westman. “I was inspired by the iconic supermodels of the 90’s and the great structure of their brows. I kept the makeup very pure, adding just a touch of natural flush to the lips by mixing two lip products together, and I used a brow pencil to create subtle freckles and a dramatic brow to top the whole look off.”
To recreate the white hot nail look worn by half of the models, celebrity manicurist Jin Soon Choi suggests creating a short square shape that’s slightly rounded and then smoothing out the ridges with a thick base coat to prepare them for polish.
“White can be intimidating to wear,” says Choi. “To guarantee a finished look, you should always use three coats, as it ensures that the polish will look perfectly opaque and smooth.”
