Sometimes, it’s all about a colour. Like Coral. In makeup there aren’t many new ideas … it’s like flower prints for spring… It’s how you present it. This time it’s about those blushed and flushed tones.

For this beauty story, I decided to work the hot-cold contrast of coral and blue, it’s less hot, it’s more cool, like a spring day at the beach. I also wanted to explore the idea of a flushed effect. I padded the cheeks with heaps of blush to soften the starkness of pale skin against the indigo blue. The hair had to be tousled, wild. I also didn’t want any sharp lines. I didn’t use any lip pencils I wanted a painterly effect for this story. I love freckles, the realness, with all these high coverage foundations, we are forgetting what real human skin looks like.
