What's the best approach to complementing a stunning collection inspired by the lavish intellectual salons of 17th century Paris, where society's elite gathered to discuss art? In a word, simplicity. Talia Shobrook for Laura Mercier-the main makeup maven backstage-opted for minimal maquillage to balance out Packham's incredibly opulent designs, zeroing in on elegant nude hues set against youthfully bright skin. "I wanted the skin to look expensive, but simply expensive," Shobrook offered. "I didn't want anything major going on." Tinted moisturizer (Shobrook opted for Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20) layered over a brightening primer (Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Radiance, in this instance) provided the perfect canvas for Shobrook's unconventional yet unbelievably gorgeous vision, which included lip balm to tame the models' brows without making them look too made-up. As for the rest of the face? "We contoured using highlighter, rather than anything dark," she said. "And then we used lipstick as blush to achieve freshness and translucency. When you look at skin as it was depicted in the 17th century, it looked very pure, and that's exactly what I wanted today."
