One tip that I've learnt -the hard way of course- over the past 2 years is that is that you can never be too prepared; sussing out outfits in advance is a lightbulb moment not to ignore. There's nothing worse than waking up on the day of fashion week and not knowing what to wear, especially when its inevitable that everyone else will look as though, with a select proportion quite literally, having stepped out of Conde Nast's headquarters.
My wisest of words -above everything- is to always walk out of the house feeling both confident and comfortable, its so easy to get carried away with something that just isn't you. Personally, I'm most content in monochrome or all black. Paired with a red lip, dewy makeup with well frizz eased curly hair, I'm all set to go!
I've taken a quick snap of my makeup essentials for London Fashion Week...
Oribe Supershine Moisturising Cream- Smells delicious and great at defining curls. Ideal travel size, especially for a smaller handbag.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer- Perfect coverage with a dewy finish
Dior Nude Foundation- Medium coverage, giving the illusion of a light coverage
The Body Shop Vitamin C Energising Face Spray- Refreshing and rejuvinating the night after a party!
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream- Great for a natural look on the eyes mixed with a light shadow and mascara.
Code Beautiful Black Mascara- It took a while to perfect the technique (360 rotation of the brush whilst in a zig zag motion) but now I finally have the hang of it the results are great; creating soft yet full lashes- a godsend when wearing glasses!
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in 'Dragon Girl'- The perfect long lasting 'pop' of colour. On trend with it's velvet matte finish combined with a timeless siren red tone. I use lip liner all over underneath on the first application of the day, topping up with the lipstick pencil accordingly throughout the day.
Do you have any makeup essentials or tips for fashion week?
