BARE-FACED CHEEK

Follow in Dior’s footsteps and embrace natural beauty.

With Marrakesh’s extravagant yet undeniably breathtaking El Badi Palace forming an unforgettable backdrop for Dior’s 2020 Cruise collection, it was no surprise that Peter Philips, creative and image director for Parfums Christian Dior, decided to take a rather pared-back approach to beauty on the runway. Philips and his team decided to emphasise the individual beauty of each of the 90 models, and created made-to-measure make-up instead of just using the same look on everyone. Philips describes the result as “a pure and luminous look that reveals natural individual beauty”. To enhance rather than conceal the models’ complexions, Philips used the soon-to-be-released Dior Backstage Face & Body Primer, prior to applying the lightweight Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation. From there, Philips drew attention to the brows using Diorshow Brow Styler. Eyelids were then enhanced with the slightest hint of colour from the Dior Backstage Eye Palette in Amber Neutrals, before eyelashes received just a coat or two of Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara. Dior Addict Lip Maximizer was the finishing touch, giving lips a lovely, lustrous shine.
