Bold Editorial Makeup
High-impact concept makeup with strong colour or graphic elements.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Where it sits
Editorial.
Editorial sits outside the natural-to-glam scale entirely. It serves a concept and a camera, and it is judged on whether the picture works rather than on whether the wearer looks like herself.
The technique it depends on
Commitment. A half-committed bold look reads as a mistake.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Strong pigment is required for bold colour to register on deeper skin.
One rule carries across every look on this site: check undertone rather than depth. Olive and golden skin greys against neutral and pink-based products however well the depth matches.
When it is the wrong choice
Anything the wearer must live in for fourteen hours.
