"Louis Vuitton Resort 2020"

NIGHT RIDER

Usher in the new era of Blade Runner but with space-time warped even more. At Louis Vuitton Resort 2020, intergalacticmeets-Elizabethan vibes were a fresh look at what 2020 actually means trend-wise, and Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière intuited that we’re citizens of different decades at once. Backstage, make-up artist Pat McGrath laid on the colour, as solid red lips were the focal point. And just like the rush of a first kiss and the flush of a heady moment, red blush and shadows rose all the way to the temples. Hair also makes the look: sculpted, Victorian pompadours were set-off with blow-outs. Classic, but make it 3.0.

“This palette screams sunshine with nine super-pigmented matte, metallic and glitter finishes in a lovely honey-gold tone. They make such a strong statement that I can just wear them on their own or pair them with darker browns to create a smokey eye for the warmer months.”

“Some sunscreens leave me with LOTS of whiteheads but I’ve finally found the right one. The Laneige Watery Sun Cream gives me a healthy glow and gets people asking what foundation I’m wearing when I’ve only got this on!”

“I personally love tingly sensations on my lips, which is why I always go for peppermint chapsticks. And hands down, Burt’s Bees Beewax is always my ultimate pick! It’s made with 100% natural ingredients, packed with Vitamin E, and is VERY effective at locking moisture in!”

“When it’s 2020, you gotta go fierce with makeup. If you're not one for wearing a directional liner, you can draw this above your black liner for that hit of colour. Let them look twice!”

“This is da bomb! I know I’ll glow like a #winner with this when the sun hits my skin during pool parties. A little can go a long way, so you'll only need a few dusts of this shimmer.”
