Backstage at Derek LamThe show: Derek Lam
The look: Inspired by the minimal relaxed comfort of West Coast interiors. “But with texture,” says Estee Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux. Matte satin skin, with dark lips and a stripe of metallic shadow from brow to lash. “Almost like a ray of light.”
The Products: Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator, Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipstick in Burnished Bronze or Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquer in Electric Wine, all by Estee Lauder.
Lips at Derek LamThe trick: “Dab the lipstick on, and keep dabbing,” says Pecheux. “I want a strong stain. As if you’ve been rubbing beet juice on your lips.”
The Scoop: Be patient. These lipsticks don’t launch until August.
