"Delicate and doll-like" and "ballerinas with a twist," were the themes thrown around backstage at Richard Quinn, where the makeup featured classic theatre tricks like winged black liner and white pencil along the inner rims of the eyes.
The twist — dreamed up by makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench — came in the form of topping the white with lime green eye shadow, a colour that contrasted beautifully with the pearly pink shadow she added on the lids (which was a mix of rosy-coloured blushes and M.A.C.'s Glitter Reflect in Pearl (£16.50)). "Adding the green on top of the white really punches up the colour and makes it stronger and brighter," Dominic Skinner, makeup artist and M.A.C. global senior artist, said of the technique.
