Backstage Beauty at London Fashion Week for A/W20

By Sarah Joan Ross on 19/2/2020

Here are all the pro products we spotted backstage at London Fashion Week that transformed models' skin, hair and faces in minutes

Victoria Beckham

Backstage at Beckham, the key aesthetic was to enhance faces but for make-up to be 'undetectable', said make-up artist Pat McGrath. She used Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Foundation, £60, and then applied a little translucent powder just on the side of the nose and forehead to control shine, yet still enabling a natural glow to radiate around the rest of the face.

Olivia Rubin

To create that bigger-is-better 80s hair backstage at Olivia Rubin, hairstylist Zoë Irwin used a spritz of GHD Root Lift Spray, £14.50, to offer instant and easy volume and used GHD's latest dryer, the Helios, £159. It's been designed by physicists and engineers and has 75mph airflow, but it's super-quiet and kind to hair.

While the make-up was equally vivacious with hot pinks and a liner combo, the metallic liner hasn't dropped yet, but it will in a few days at CharlotteTilbury.com. However, you can get your hands on the blush and lipstick: Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic (£30) in Love Glow and Love Is the Drug. And on the lips K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Moisturising Lipstick in Velvet Underground, £25.

JW Anderson

Session stylist Anthony Turner designed a slick wearable style backstage at JW Anderson by applying L'Oréal Professional’s Tecni.Art Pli Shaper, £12.05, to add shape and hold back any flyaways or unruly tendrils. Add a little hair oil to enhance the shine, such as L'Oréal Professional Mythic Hair Original Oil, £14.75 – it's on sale at lookfantastic.com.

Preen

The show inspiration was the film noir adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's Don't Look Now set in 70s Venice and the designs, hair and make-up modernised the ornate source. The hair was ultra-shiny with movement and courtesy of Wella's EIMI range. Eugine Souleiman was the hairdresser du jour, and he used the Wella Professionals EIMI Sugar Lift, £9.12, to thicken strands and just before the models stepped onto the runway, he spritzed with Wella Professionals Glam Mist shine spray, £11.52, to really 'bling it up', says Souleiman.

Molly Goddard

Make-up artist Hiromi Ueda took inspiration from all of our childhoods' and said she wanted the models to look like 'they'd been playing through mother's make-up box'. We don't remember the smudgy lips and clumpy lashes ever looking this good. Maybe it was down to M.A.C. pro range, as this was the go-to brand. Try the new M.A.C Loud and Clear Lipstick in Sugar Dada, £17.50, and In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Mascara, £20.

The mini manicures at Molly Goddard were short and sharp and courtesy of OPI's Cable Car Pool Lane, £13.90, a lovely light burgundy shade.
