If anyone can push beauty out of the realm of super sweet and into the realm of strong, sexy and androgynous, without so much of a bat of a well lacquered eyelash, Alexander Wang can.
On the catwalk, along with his edgy urban pieces, models sport clear flawless skin, strong blunted eyebrows and a palette of hazy, earthy tones. Tribal, grungy but also gorgeously groomed. It’s a look epitomised by friend, and muse, Erin Wasson, in all her healthy but undone supermodel beauty. And one which transfers equally as well to the streets of New York, Paris and London where girls, straining against the femininity of looking doll-like, made-up or in any way try-hard, prefer to look effortlessly undone.
Amounting to a make up regime that consists, rather simply, of a little flaw-fixing foundation here, a sweep of rubbed-in kohl there, a strong face-shaping brow and the occasional daub of gloss to highlight, joining Wang’s gang is pretty simple. Just don’t let your beauty bag fail you. Instead, stash your array of Wang-worthy beauty products in this tough luxe, black leather cosmetics case.
