A cast of predominantly Mexican models walked the runway in looks that drew inspiration from the iconic artist.
this weekend, and the location informed a beauty moment rooted in the country’s perspective. A cast of predominantly Mexican models walked the cultural centre’s runway in looks that drew inspiration from Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
“The show is in this beautiful academy, this beautiful school — outside, it becomes too forced if you put too much make-up on. It’s much nicer if there’s a freshness to it,” says make-up artist and Dior Beauty creative director Peter Philips. “It’s almost like girls going to this school and taking in all of the Mexican culture and heritage and art and craftsmanship. There’s a freshness to it.”
To accompany hairstylist Guido Palau’s ouroboros braids — duets of plaits seamlessly connected behind the head, a visual pulled from Rivera’s Calla Lily Vendor — Philips embraced subtlety. Think: a blend of Diorshow On Stage Crayon and Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara at lash roots, but not lengths; tiny touches of powder to combat the humidity; and Dior Rosy Glow in Rosewood for a wash of warmth.
As it turns out, this Mexico City showing was right on time. “It’s been really intense eyes for the last few shows,” says Philips, who notes that Maria Grazia herself favours a more dramatic eye for her personal make-up. “I’ve been doing so many variations on the smokey eye, and for this show we thought, ‘Maybe let’s do something less extreme.’”
The result brings us back to what we know: When it comes to beauty, less-is-more isn’t a clichéd adage but a strong choice. “It’s not about a red lip or a black eye or highlighting or contouring,” says Philips. “It’s about embracing or enhancing their natural beauty.”
