NYFW backstage beauty: Tom Pecheux’s metallic love affair at Doo.Ri
Makeup artist Tom Pecheux’s love affair with metallics continues. At Doo Ri, he created a face that was “very nude,” he said. “We’re just playing with texture.” After matting out the T-zone, he used M.A.C. Metal X Cream Shadow in “Fusion Gold,” launching in the spring, all around the eyes, hitting the brow, extending it to the temples and onto the cheekbones. On cheeks, he used a matte peach colour “as a contour, not a blush—that would be too girly” and lips were treated to a “slightly beigey, peachy pink colour” called “Innocence Beware.” To keep his glowy goddess effect discreet, he left lashes bare. “And I promise, it’s not because I wanted to be lazy” he said. Manicurist Jin Soon Choi coated nails in one coat of Zoya’s “Helen,” a nude with a subtle shimmer.
Using products by a new eco line called 1976, Orlando Pita fashioned tight ponytails in the middle of the head with a side part, allowing for texture and flyaway bits. “It’s kind of representative of the collection; there’s some very structured parts and there’s some very fluid, flowy parts.”
