Victorian Elegance at Emilia Wickstead Spring 2020

You can easily nab that Code8 Matte Velour Lipstick, which was custom mixed for the show by makeup artist Lucy Bridge a couple weeks ago. The limited edition hue (which costs £45) launched on Net-a-Porter.com as the models came down the runway at Emilia Wickstead.

The hair, however, was the opposite of easy. Hairstylist Benjamin Muller crafted this gorgeous updo (as well as another version where the chignon sat at the nape of the neck), by securing the into a high ponytail, blow-drying the tail with a round-brush, wrapping the tail around a hair doughnut that he cut in half, and then moulding the chignon into a wide fan-like shape. "The angle created by the high chignon is what makes this style so elegant and beautiful," said Muller. "So the profile of this look is very important." Also important when creating this look was lots of cans of Aveda Hair Control Hairspray (£21) as well as another set of hands.
