What are your top quick beauty fixes?
Achieve flawless skin by simply applying YSL's Touche Eclat High Cover concealer under your eyes, followed by a touch of liquid blush in the iconic Orgasm shade from NARS. Complete your look with a subtle lip tint from PeriPera (a Korean brand), shade no. 18, and add definition to your lashes with mascara.
What are the biggest beauty trends you're expecting from this season?
Glossy skin remains the biggest trend. Year after year, the desire for flawless skin texture persists. I anticipate that people will continue prioritising beauty treatments, especially K-beauty skincare routines. Additionally, they may incorporate products like highlighters, sheer bases, and balms into their routine. Some popular options include the Chanel glow primer, Glossier Future Dew, or MAC Strobe Cream.
What are your hero products for this season?
NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush in Orgasm. The unique liquid formula seamlessly blends to create a natural flush, reflecting the wearer's radiance. It’s also super easy to apply.
What is exciting you the most in the beauty sector at the moment?
Pat McGrath's “Doll Glossy Skin” makeup look from Maison Margiela is making waves in the beauty community and has blown up on social media. It's interesting to see people experimenting with alternative products and techniques to achieve the coveted glossy skin effect.

What are your top quick beauty fixes?
If you're in a hurry and trying to redo your eyeliner, using a cleansing wipe or water can wash away your foundation. Instead, it's much cleaner to moisten a sharp cotton bud with foundation and remove it directly with the bud.
What are the biggest beauty trends you're expecting from this season?
I think natural makeup is still going to stay on trend this year, but with toned-down mauve pinks and nude tones that look a little more discrete. Think matte skin, subtly shaded eyes and nude lips.
What are your hero products for this season?
I love SUQQU's foundation, it has a dewy but matte finish, which works really nicely alongside their palette of highlighters and blushes. It’s very subtle and sophisticated. But Charlotte Tilbury’s iconic nude lip liner is also something I've been using a lot lately on clients and models.
What is one of the most memorable shows you have worked on?
I think it was the first time I worked on a London Fashion Week show with the Mac Pro team, as Terry's first assistant. It was Harris Reed's show, and I remember all the models standing there like works of art. It was a really beautiful show, and it was my first with that amazing team, so it's always stuck with me.

What are the biggest beauty trends you're expecting from this season?
The key makeup trend for spring/summer 2024 will be glossy eye makeup. Anyone can easily create a glowy eye using a Chanel balm. You could also add a little silver or gold line to the base of the eyelashes.
What are your hero products for this season?
When I use SUQQU lipstick for shoots, I'm always asked "What brand is this?" SUQQU is a Japanese luxury cosmetic brand. Their Moisture Glaze Lipstick is newly released! It has a sheer texture which you can adjust yourself and it plumps! I love the shade "04 TSUYAMITSUKA"
What is exciting you the most in the beauty sector at the moment?
Scalp massage is an important thing for me. People don't realise how connected the scalp and face are. Want to look younger and shine? Please try a scalp massage!
What is one of the most memorable shows you have worked on?
The most memorable show was JIL SANDER from Spring/Summer last season. It was a great opportunity because first of all, I love this brand! It was a pleasure to work with a super team, including key makeup artist Lucia Pieroni. We did colourful makeup on some of the models while the rest of the face was very natural – but very technical. When the fashion show started it felt like my heart was going to explode, it was such a special moment as a self-trained artist.
Mattie White | @mattiewhite_makeup
What are your top quick beauty fixes?
Eyebrow Gel and SPF – every day!
What are the biggest beauty trends you're expecting from this season?
I think we can expect to see the synergy of technology and make-up becoming more widespread. As we adapt to life with AI and VR, both worlds will be represented through hair and make-up.
What are your hero products for this season?
I’ve been using the Transparent Chanel Baume Essentiel and whilst it’s a transparent product, it gives the skin such luminosity. It’s a great trick if you want to look like you’ve got that post-facial glow.
What is exciting you the most in the beauty sector at the moment?
I’m excited to see a revival of what feels like “risk-taking” make-up or perhaps just complete authenticity. Like the recent Margiela show, where it felt like I was watching a John Galliano 2000s runway.
Creativity is usually always a response to reality, we either revert back to our best moments or create new ones. So, I’m excited for shows that feel just like that, exciting, hopeful and inspiring.
