Safari chic was the mood of clothing at key spring/summer shows such as Burberry, Alexander Wang and Celine, and the same desert-inspired colours were a mainstay for make-up, too. At Catherine Malandrino the collection was inspired by ‘women of the world’, with Tom Pecheux and his make-up team creating four different looks inspired by different deserts across the globe, with ’sweated-through’ smudged mascara and bronzed cheeks. Lisa Eldridge created a rather beautiful ‘post-apocalyptic’ beauty look at Todd Lynn, where the girls’ skin was sand-blasted with mineral powders and dusky brown eyes to make it seem as though they had ‘been in the desert for days on end’. So, for this season, the must have products comprise a very wearable palette of burnt oranges, dusky corals and warm bronzes – try Max Factor’s Miracle Touch Crème Blush in Soft Copper, £7, for sun-weathered cheeks, Estee Lauder’s Michael Kors Eyeshadow Duo in Blonde Mink, £22 and for a truly authentic desert glow use Soleil Tan de Chanel Moisturising Bronzing Powder in Desert Bronze, £40, whose powder is actually shaped like a sand dune. Gives a whole new meaning to burying one’s head in the sand.
