Basso and Brooke AW12 LFW

Friday 17th February, 3pm

Having had to leave the Felder Felder show early, myself and Kate are hot footing it to the Basso and Brooke show at Goldsmiths Hall, armed with Georgina's kit.  Some of Georgina's team are already there prepping the models skin ready for her arrival.  I get to work setting up her work station, and getting hold of the model list and running order.  There didn't seem to be a model list so I started my own one by going around and asking all the girls there what their names were.  There was much confusion from production whether there was meant to be 15 or 14 models.  I had 14 down, checked all the models off again and still had 14 girls so no-one knew who the 15th girl was.  Eventually she turned up and was found, crisis over!

Georgina had designed a beautiful look, the emphasis being on this gorgeous velvet, matte red rose lip.  The products used were (all by Mac), Cherry lip pencil, Nightmoth lip pencil, Ruby Woo lipstick, Sin Lipstick, Basic Red Pigment, and Burnt Burgundy Pigment.  The rest of the face was kept very simple, just a little Face and Body foundation, concealer where needed and blot powder to take off any shine. 

The models seemed to be in hair forever, there was a mad rush near show time to get the models done.  I was asked to get in and start doing make-up and leave the list, Georgina would try to keep on top of it.  Just trying to find the products though was difficult!  They were being used by other people so I had to try and find them!  It didn't help that there were soooooooooooooooooo many, press, photographers, bloggers etc hanging around, and getting in the way, we could barely move and get to our products.  It was crazy!  Georgina kept having to ask to get them removed from the area!  The most crazy backstage experience ever!  All of a sudden we were in line up and having to finish the models of there!  Not so easy with this lip and with the models being 7 foot tall with their shoes on!  Anyway, as you can see from my model, the look looked beautiful and Georgina excelled as always!
