I love skulls. They’re not girly, they’re sinister. The look at Prabal Gurung—that I’m obsessed with!—kind of reminded me of a beautiful cadaver. Charlotte Tilbury, flame-haired makeup artist extraordinaire and backstage fixture at New York Fashion Week, blended the most brilliant, electric, birds-of-paradise blue MAC cream shadow around the entire eye area up to the brow bone—so that the impression was of a hollowed-out eye socket awash in color! Tilbury also applied MAC Technakohl Liner in Smoothblue to the inner eye and middle upper eyelid to create a featherlike effect—utterly hypnotic. I know it all sounds crazy, but it was gorgeous.
