"It's '40s pin-up girl meets '90s Gwen Stefani," Nicole Thompson (MAC) told us of the We Are Handsome makeup. The standout was the dual-toned orange and pink lip which was all about the layering according to Thompson. She started with MAC Pro Chromaline in Orange and Pink "As it's water-resistant, it helps to set the colour," she told us and then layered up pre-mixed cream lipsticks. Next came orange and pink power Pigments before a final layer of cream lipstick right before the models walked out. The '40s element came through in the brow: " We've given it that structure, we've lifted the arch and that gives it a feminine, almost cat-like feel." Two coats of St Tropez Wash Off Mousse were applied using the applicator mitt and the brand's Bronzing Rocks were dusted over the models' collarbones aarms and legs for a sexy shimmer. For the hair, Kieran Street (TRESemme) wanted to include all three elements of the collection's name: 'The Matriarch, The Enchanted and The Streets'. He put a '40s spin on beachy soft strands using a 1-inch tong to "create almost a water wave, it's texture and movement" before parting hair on the side and making the front sleek. See how the look came together.
