Osman Yousefzada Autumn/Winter 2009/10

"Set against Osman Yousefzada's minimal, ultra-modern collection, a heavy head of make-up could have taken the look in a very 'power dressing' direction, but in the hands of make-up artist Lisa Eldridge, working for Clarins, Yousefzada's girls became 'beautiful, futuristic and ethereal, rather than aggressive." Thanks to the collection's oversized aviators, there was "a focus on the cheeks," according to Eldridge, who swept a blend of different blushers upwards and outwards for real Oriental feel. And while acid yellow was daubed on the inside corners of the eyes for a pop of sci-fi colour, Eldridge avoided the robotic look by shunning shine and metallic highlights for a full, matte base.
