Backstage Beauty: Christopher Kane
Last week at the Christopher Kane fashion show in London, the clothing colors were soft and romantic in light blues, muted greys and nudes. Fittingly, the makeup look was clean and fresh—to the point of it looking almost bare-faced.
Skin was matte, lips were flushed and cheeks had that natural, just-pinched look. Makeup artist Gucci Westman used Lancome products to create a look from the 1976 film Carrie. (That is, Sissy Spacek's look before the bloody prom.) If you like what you see, you'll be happy: Rumor has it that Christopher Kane and Lancome are working on a fun makeup project together for 2008!

- Step 1: Use only a touch of Lancome Aqua Fusion Cream on the skin and then tissue it off to create a matte, natural look.
- Step 2: By adding a touch of Magique Blush in Cinnamon Glaze to your face, you can help contour your cheekbones. Start off with a light dust and blend well. Remember, you can always add more if you want to.
- Step 3:Then add some Primordiale Optimum Lip to enhance your natural lip color. If this just doesn't feel like enough color, you can also add some Color Design Blush in Pret A Plum to the lips.
- Step 4: For a touch of definition, add a light layer of Color Design Eye Shadow in Click to your creases. Again, blend well.
