If you have been here before, you will probably know my love of all things Kevyn Aucoin. He was a truly gifted and innovative makeup artist, who inspired a lot of today's famous artists. His whole ethos was enhancing natural beauty, as well as having an obsession with lighting the face - I like. On Saturday my Mother and I went to the Retrospective event at the Knightsbridge Space NK, to have a mooch at the event and to also, obviously, have our makeup done by Kevyn Aucoin artists.
The exhibition is really, really lovely - I learnt a lot. We had a guided tour by a fellow Kevyn enthusiast, who knew a lot of interesting facts. The gallery had been divided into different sections - focusing on the sensual skin, the candlelight room and the bloodroses feature. There was also this video playing - a haunting song.
On my makeup, the artist went for a blood roses lip focus, with highlighted skin and contoured eyes.
