Last week we had our AW17 photo shoot!
LW is pleased to announce that this collection will be our most elegant and sophisticated yet!
Interview with Pavel Robson
Our very own MUA, Pavel Robson, created the amazing AW17 look for our model Jess. We wanted Jess to look natural with a golden goddess glow.
Pavel enhanced Jess's natural beauty by adding metallic shimmers and nude glosses.
Read our interview below;
When did you start doing makeup professionally?
-I started doing makeup professionally in 2004.
Where does your interest in makeup stem from?
-I have done many drawings since my childhood and that's what brought me to makeup.
Tell me about a project or accomplishment that you consider to be the most significant in your career.
-The project that I consider most gratifying is when I was interviewed for the book "Luxury Lips" that was published in 2009. I featured in the book among some great makeup artists.
Who is your role model and why?
-Pat Mcgrath is one of my role models; she inspires me with her career. Mcgrath built her career alone - she began as a receptionist, whilst continuing her passion for makeup on the side. She never gave up!
What’s the one thing you wish more people knew about makeup?
-I want people to know where to place the illuminator (Touche Eclat YSL) on the face to look less tired and brighter.
What’s your favourite quote?
-"Less is more".
What would you say is the biggest challenge an MUA has to face?
-My biggest challenge is being a perfectionist because it pushes me to always do better.
You’re stuck on a desert island and you can only take three things with you. What are they and why?
-A mirror to see how old I am. Warm clothing in case of weather...(Storm) and books to keep my brain working.
Explain the look you have created today on Jess.
-Glamorous, elegant and a bit sexy. The last look was very nude, baby doll.
What is your favourite cocktail?
-Sex on the beach.
What are the best looks/trends for AW17?
-My favourite look for AW17 is the black trench coat with a black leather beret and black boots.
Your favourite holy grail piece of makeup?
-"La Touche Eclat " by Yves Saint Laurent. All women should have one in their handbag.
What’s your best advice for makeup prep?
-To properly moisturize your skin for comfort, a better hold and added brightness.
Lip stains vs lip glosses?
-I prefer the gloss because it's more glamorous, sensual, sexy and it gives your lips a luscious finish.
What’s your ideal Friday night?
-Drinking glasses of wine with my friends.
Favourite place to eat in London?
-The House of HO is my favourite restaurant in London.
What are your top 3 favourite makeup brands?
-Chanel, Armani and Makeup Forever.
Best highlighter for that golden goddess look?
-The best highlighter for a golden goddess look is from NARS.
