Effortless make-up
'I think that there is a sense of make-up for the coming season that looks
'effortless'. It is not about a lot of make-up but it's all about a lot
of impact.' Last season we saw a lot of smokey eyes, well defined lips
and constructed looks. 'This season it is more like having one single
product that stands out', explains Espinet.
Cool and simple
Effortless make-up with a strong impact. To reach this effect we focus
on one element in the face. 'Whether it is a bright lip or a strong eye,
or a liner. The idea of make-up being glamorous at all costs is gone.
It is more make-up with the focus on cool, on simplicity. The make-up
for 2010 is cool but strong', says Espinet.
'It's weird', adds Espinet, 'that Milan this season seems to be the city
of lips. I say weird because when I think of Milan, I think of it as the
city of eyes. Everybody usually uses dark make-up in the Italian fashion
capital. But there has been something going on. A lot of designers focused
on lips this season.'
Strong women, strong faces
Lips or eyes, at the end it's all about a mix of impact. 'I think of the
women in Helmut Newton's photographs. They are tough and strong, but not
really made-up. But they stand out because they have great lips, intense
eyes. Or think of the photographs of Steve Hiett in the 80's. It is really
about leaving the girls look like themselves with this element of something
going on on their face...
