Julien Macdonald X Max Factor SS’19

This fashion season, Max Factor partnered with Julien Macdonald for his Spring Summer ’19 show which took place over the weekend at London Fashion Week. The makeup look created by Max Factor Creative Director Wendy Rowe was designed to complement Julien Macdonald’s bold designs which captured the essence of the Amazonian women.

Wendy Rowe, Creative Director and Global Makeup Artist for Max Factor commented:“This season backstage at Julien Macdonald, the models have an expensive red carpet look, with a structured and statuesque feel. The beauty look has an elevated, modern and sexy edge to it, which mirrors the gorgeous designs in the collection.

For the beauty look, I used Max Factor products; Radiant Lift Foundation was used for skin to create a gorgeous, glowing base combined with an alluring, pulled out smokey eye look, a sculpted contour to enhance the structure of the face, and a matte nude lip. The girls are all undeniably still quintessentially Julien Macdonald women, but they have a fresh colour trend update.

The intense, smokey eye look starts with lots of mascara and black eyeliner, followed flash of peacock blue across the eyelid – a great way to freshen and modernise a sexy smokey eye, a new trend for this season. The skin has been contoured using the contour palette to add structure, and the Glow duo has been used to highlight and add a luxury glow feel to the skin.

To finish the look, I used a liquid matte lip to add the illusion of fullness to the mouth, and I’ve dabbed a touch of the Velvet Matte lipstick in Nude in the centre of the lips as a finishing touch, to soften and add volume.”
