Topshop Unique: Beauty

Topshop Unique: Beauty,London Fashion Week beauty trends,London Fashion Week,beauty trends,S/S11 beauty trends,fashion show,make-up trends,hairstyles,hair trends Topshop Unique: Beauty One of our fave looks so far! The inspiration was \'70s disco – and that\'s exactly where we thought we were backstage at Unique – at a Roxy Music gig. Hannah Murray used Topshop Skin Tint in Dark to even out the skin tone and Topshop Skin Glow to highlight cheekbones and décolletage. Eyes were left bare but a rose gold highlighter pen (due out in March!) was applied to the brow bone and all brought together with a liberal dusting of bronzer on the cheeks. Now for the best bit – Hannah created the perfect red lips dripping in gloss using Daredevil Red Lipstick for a slightly matte look topped off with Cardinal Sin gloss. James Reade tanned the 48 models using St Tropez Wash Off Mousse by layering 3 or 4 layers on top of one another for a real 70\'s, sun-kissed vibe. Ready girls… because next season the tan is back – forget the \'no glow\' and get ready for \'That 70\'s Glow\'!

The only product used – Bumble and Bumble Does It All – obv! Finally, Sophy Robson topped off the 70\'s revival by using Topshop\'s Rose Gold Glitter Polish and adding gems to the tips - that\'s how London girls rock the 70\'s!

L\'Oreal Paris Smoothing Resurfacing Primer was used to smooth out any lines or pores under the eyes and around the nose before two shades of High Definition Foundation were applied – one as a base and a darker one to contour. Cheeks were blushed with L\'Oreal Paris Anti Dullness Primer for a healthy flush and two shadows were used on the eyes – a champagne shade across the lid and a sparkly brown encircled the eye. Big lashes topped off the look using L\'Oreal Paris Volume Millions Mascara.

Tong, set, tease roots and tong ends for curl. Finally apply L\'Oreal Professional Smooth Essence through the mid lengths for some sexy separation.

Sass and Bide: Beauty

Illuminating Moisture Fluid Foundation was key to giving skin a real radiance in addition to perfect coverage. Powder, brows and liner were out in favour of lashings of Ultimate Expression Mascara, and our favourite part was the bronze Pressed Eyeshadow in Glitter applied underneath the eye – a bit like a starburst. Rouge Unlimited Matte Lipstick 990 was in multi-tasking mode and used on both lips and cheeks.

The easiest way to achieve this look is to turn the head upside down and plait upwards. Leave the ends loose for a faux-fringe.\r\n

Each girl was given a beauty spot under the left eye using an eye pencil because \'imperfections are beautiful\'!\r\n

Lindell dyed 20 bobbed wigs a brunette shade four times each to ensure they each had multi-tonal colour (brunette is big next season ladies!) and gave them a squoval fringe – see this as a backlash to over processed, over highlighted, waggish hair – this girl looks cool without trying. \r\n\r\n
