These products makeup artists were actually using backstage at LFW

The buzz of London Fashion Week may be over, however the makeup artists that worked the shows are still off on shoots utilizing their top products to create longwearing perfected makeup looks.

We had backstage use of Harris Reed's runway show, at which Terry Barber was the lead makeup artist.

Working with MAC Cosmetic's pro team, we've got to determine what products made the cut to be worked with on models faces – withstanding bright stage lighting and long hours.

The vibe backstage was 'reworked glam', taking older notions of beauty and bringing them in to the present day.

Speaking to a small group of journalists, Terry Barber explained: 'It's a bit of 80s and 90s, and there is a feeling for that right now.

'I like exploring those as they are almost standard templates.

'Exploring those, tweaking them and making them new- it's like borrowing stuff and redoing it.'

Just as fashion has its Y2K moment, beauty is borrowing looks of yesteryear.

The focus was a sharp red lip with peaked cupid's bow arches and blackened eyes, in an exaggerated Hollywood glam style that's easily adapted for everyday wear just by dialing back the colour intensity.

Terry used MAC's Retro Matte Liquid Lip in Feel So Grand, saying 'to me it's pure 80s', along with Paint Pot in Black Mirror, which can double up as a liner and shadow.

To create flawless skin, Terry used MAC's Face and the body – a long-loved makeup artist favourite that can be worn lightly or layered on.

He says: 'I used face and the body as possible put quite a lot on, it's not just a tint.

'Then we used the Studio Finish Conceal and proper Palettes.

'We did a hot base with face and the body, a cooler concealer and did a triangle under the eyes, a T on the forehead and T-zone, a dot on the chin.'

This makes skin look 'arrow sharp' and much more angular.

Finally, he added a touch of black within the hollows of the models' cheekbones to stress any natural shadows, then smoothed over everything with powder to combine it in.

Show ready.
