Philippe Chansel 
for Lloyd Klein

Lloyd wanted a very 80’s makeup look, almost a sort of a ‘Dynasty’ feel and that sense of opulence. So I decided to go for a very strong makeup.

There’s a sparkly, glittery copper color on the lids and a yellow paint under the eye, and black and purple around it. There are also lots of false eyelashes, which I’ve extended out a

little bit like in the 80’s. 

I've, then, highlighted and contoured the cheeks with a strong brownish blush and finished with very shiny, lacquered, tomato-red lips.

The only thing that makes this makeup a little bit more modern is specially the textures. Because the properties of makeup used nowadays aren't as heavy or as thick as back then. So you get cleaner, more blended looks. But this makeup is very inspired on that decade.

What would you do to adapt this look for the street?

I would pair it down a lot. You can still use it like that, that sort of raisin color in the eye - a reddish-brownish, which is nice through the crease, and is easier to blend. Copper blends into skin very well. It’s basically a matter of how much of it you use. 

And, obviously, for the street I would forget the lashes. Well, it depends on the occasion. For a club you could still do them, especially on the ends, and still line the eye in black, but not as strong, or as thick, or as much as we have done for the runway.
