London Fashion Week is in full swing and while all eyes are on the finished catwalk look, the team at Talent Management can’t help but spare a thought for the models backstage.
With make up constantly on-and-off between shows, it’s a wonder these girls aren’t breaking out. So if anyone’s got the insider trade secrets, it’s the models.
Talent Management brings you our top 3 model-friendly make-up removers, tough enough to take off all traces of make-up, but gentle enough to use repeatedly between shows and shoots…
1. MAC Wipes, £10.00 for 30 sheets or £13.50 for 45 sheets
Our models’ favourite has to be these super-refreshing and, more importantly, re-sealable wipes from MAC. The pack’s oversized and luxurious sheets contain MAC’s special cleanser infused with protective vitamin E, so you can wipe away makeup and smudges while hydrating and nourishing on the go! Perfect for the life of a model.
2. Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover, £15.50
If you have a little more time on your hands, our models will go for Clinique’s ‘Take The Day Off’ makeup remover. For lids, lashes and lips, this miracle in a bottle didn’t win Best Eye Makeup Remover at the SHE Magazine Beauty Awards 2011 for nothing. Its unique, two-way formula loosens the grip, then speeds up the departure of even the most persistent catwalk makeup for a really thorough clean.
3. Lancome Eau Micellaire Douceur, £21.00
If your skin’s feeling like it’s been sandpapered, Lancome’s Eau Micellaire Douceur is one of the gentlest make up remover formulas our models know. This transparent and high potency water gently but deeply cleanses the skin from impurities and toxins – it makes sense this is a favourite with make-up artists and models alike.
