Black eyeliner and red lipstick are the two most timeless makeup items in existence. For Prada's Spring 2020 show, however, makeup artist Pat McGrath executed them in a way that felt unexpected and fresh — even whilst making the slightest nod to the beauty of the 1920s, an era referenced throughout the collection with cloche hats, feather accents, and drop-waist dresses.
On the lips, McGrath used her MatteTrance Lipstick in Elson (£35), layering it over liner for depth and precision. For the liner, she moved it away from the lashes, instead using the Permagel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil in Xtreme Black (£23) to fill in the space between the creases of the eyes and the brows, which were bleached to bring all the attention to stretches of black above the lids.
