Fantasy Face.

Couture Meets Beauty.

'True Blue'

Jean Paul Gaultier

Make-up artist Tom Pecheux used various metallic with blues, greens, yellows and purples. Both on the eyes & lips.

'In the fantasy bubble that is couture, many of the clothes are truly extra-ordinary... so it seems only fitting that the beauty inspirations should follow suit.'

Valentino on the other hand painted pale blue 'blindfolds' onto the models with a pale complexion.

Beauty Trend: Face

SS 2010

The combination of the glistening blue eyes with the red lips.

I love this combo.

I think the colours compliment each other making the models feature bloom.

After all blue is my favourite colour.

Box of Tricks!

Alex Box; A self confessed goth and a genius in theatrical make-up

The bold face of make-up artistry Alex Box presents her work without boundaries. She is adventurous, influential and unique. She has given master classes to MAC and has joint ventures with Biba, Peter Jensen and most widely known with Gareth Pugh on his catwalk collections. Box style presents theatrical and conceptual to which she treats the body like a canvas for her exquisite visions.

I absolutely love how she uses artistry, nature and science influences, expressing herself with elaborate patterning and breathtaking intricacy drawn on the face.

Box is also a creative director of a new make-up range Illamasqua, debuting in Selfridges. 'Its art deco, noirish fantasy make-up,' (Alex Box). I love the theatrical and music elements that differentiate the brand from conforming to current brands. Alex Box promotes individuality to which enhances innovation to make her profile thrilling.
