Acne and Ajak!

Sunday 20th Febuary

The day I met Ajak Deng. I absolutely love her! What a ray of sunshine she was, such a sweet girl. She was my first model at the Acne AW 2011 show. The venue was some random building just down from Trocadero, Picadilly on Covenry Street. Call time was 7am, although it needn't have been at all, as the models weren't arriving until 8. So we all sat around for an hour in the freezing building, too cold to take our coats off. Lucia Pieroni was keying the look, with the focus being on quite a straight boyish, natural brow. Groundwork paint pot was used on the lid and under the eye, but not to look like make-up, more like a shadow, blended out. And on the brow and cheekbone, vanilla pigment was used, and then just concealer on the lips. Ajak didn't have the Groundwork or Vanilla pigment though. We tried to go and tweek the make-up ready for the show in the dressing area, but were constantly being told we were in the way, so it was left to Lucia and her first assistants and the rest of us just waited for the show to finish in the make-up area.
