Beauty Shots: Bora Aksu, London Fashion Week

This morning marked the first show at London Fashion Week - Bora Aksu. Inspired by Bora's background and culture as a Turkish man, the fashion and beauty looks for the brand's tenth anniversary were based on rural women in his country with a Victorian twist.

THE FACE

 

 

Make-up was fresh, dewy and youthful, prepared with Dermalogica skin care. The models wore Mehron's Lip Cream in Cherry Chocolate on the lips and cheeks and the Aura Bronzing Gel for radiance underneath a sheer base. Other make-up items spotted backstage were MAC Face and Body Foundation, Ben Nye Banana Powder and Bobbi Brown palettes.

THE HAIR

 

 

Hair was loose and 'windblown' in its style, pinned up into a vertical roll and perfected using KMS California's Silksheen Polishing Serum, Addvolume Root and Body Lift and Volumising Spray, Freeshape Hot Flex Spray, Tamefrizz Taming Creme and Hairplay Makeover Spray and Playable Texture and Hairstay Medium Hold Spray. The look was inspired by a young woman in the rural fields of Turkey who is easygoing and carefree.
