LFW Round Up 2: Ashley Isham SS14 & Backstage with The Body Shop

Another show I enjoyed during London Fashion Week was the Ashley Isham SS14 show. This show is always a sell out and the hall is usually packed out. Once again, it didn't disappoint. The Body Shop were Official Makeup Sponsors at Fashion Scout so I was able to go backstage and have a nose through all the gorgeous makeup being applied on the models.

Ashley Isham's SS14 collection was inspired by the French Drama "Belle de Jour". I remember watching this years ago. I'm a huge fan of Catherine Deneuve so was definitely interested to see what was on offer. The collection was described as being aimed at the "sophisticated professional woman". The colours were gorgeous and included purple iris, blue delphinium and coral amaryllis. The use of silk, lace and embroidery really caught my eye.

Makeup was led my the lovely Lan Nguyen-Grealis (see pic 3 below). The models had bold bright coral pinky lips (205 Passionate Pink as the base and 105 Coral Cutie on the top). The eye makeup was a simple smokey eye that wasn't too heavy. I absolutely love the Radiant Highlighter that was used to enhance the models' features. The blush was also subtle (01 Macaroon and 04 Marshmallow). Overall, the look was glamorous without looking like too much of an effort was made.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
