HOW TO WORK THE FASHION WEEK BEAUTY TRENDS NOW

M.A.C. are the visionaries of the makeup world and London Fashion Week provides the stage for artists to showcase their skills and create inspirational looks. Last February, when the world was a different place, we travelled to London for the autumn winter 2020 collections for an exclusive backstage preview. Here we share the vision behind some of the key looks from the catwalks and share the must-have products from Face & Body foundation, Studio Fix and Strobe Cream to amazing techniques from finger-pressing lipstick application tips for lips and blush and much more. Here's how to be more inspired to get more creative with our everyday makeup.

M.A.C Powder Kiss was born backstage at LFW and this September, they have expanded the artist's favourite soft-blur, easily blendable high pigment collection with new liquid lipcolours, matte lipstick shades and a brand new eye palette. All debuted at LFW and now available here and at your nearest store.

BACKSTAGE WITH... ROKSANDA ILLINCIC

The Look: Classic and sultry simplicity.

"We created a beautiful berry toned lip inspired look by the tones found within the Roksanda collection," says Miranda Joyce, Makeup Artist for M.A.C Cosmetics. While a Bordeaux lip is the ultimate statement of sophistication, stripping the face back to the minimum of details gives it a much fresher edge with M.A.C Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour in Burning Love played against the finest veil of M.A.C Face and Body Foundation and M.A.C Mineralize Timecheck Lotion. Timeless beauty."2000182476

BACKSTAGE WITH... J.W. Anderson

The Look: Glossy and Slick.

Polished, Elevated Beauty with a Masculine Edge is the look Lynsey Alexander, Makeup Artist for M.A.C Cosmetics created for J. W. Anderson. She says, "Chic and radiance go hand in hand when the details are fuss-free but perfect in execution. The elongated line of the eyebrows using M.A.C Eye Brows Big Boost Fiber Gel to define, and M.A.C Powderkiss Liquid Lipcolour in Date-Maker as a nuanced blush against perfectly groomed skin create a very strong look based on enhancing features and pushing them as far as we can, but keeping within the natural realm."2000182476

BACKSTAGE WITH... RICHARD QUINN

The Look: Classic and precise.

“Monochromatic Russian Dolls” is what Isamaya French, Makeup Artist for M.A.C Cosmetics has named her look for Quinn. "We have noticed that the eyeliner is shorter and more focused than in past seasons, but what is more interesting is how this eyeliner is dressed. Take a close look at how the eyebrow intensity mirrors the eyeliner’s or the blush M.A.C Pink Swoon counteracts what could be considered an otherwise tough look. Makeup that feels current always has an unexpected twist to it."2000182476
