| Tom Ford AW14 London2 |
Tom Ford AW14 collection shows of dark grungy colours and a range of perfect wintery textures that excite me for the season. With velvety reds and and rocking leathers strutting the catwalk. I think its only right that the make up and hair mirrors the edgy striking personality of the clothes. I have chosen to review the make up and hair for Tom Fords AW14 campaign as I thought the look was one of the strongest of the season!

| Backstage Tom Ford AW14 Make up by Charlotte Tilbury2 |
The skin was prepped by Tom Fords Intensive Moisuriser The moisturiser gives a dewy plumped complexion and its fair to say the models did look gorgeously hydrated. This product retails at a whopping £185 so for those of you like me that find this slightly out of price range an alternative that I have tried and tested and would highly recommend is Jurliques Replenishing Moisture cream at just £27 I have been using this every winter for the past couple of years and it gives my skin a really hydrated plump feel and sits really nicely underneath a full face of make up. It also lasts an entire day!
To perfect the skin Charlotte Tilbury used Tom Fords Traceless Foundation Stick2 Its obvious the models skin looks almost bare faced and has only had a light touch up with the foundation, This compliments the care free feeling that Tom Fords collection gives off.
Charlotte Tilbury Brushed and gelled the brows in place without colour being added, I like that they have been left natural, Im starting to notice a lot more that this year less enthusiasm has been put on colouring the eye brows, perhaps those Kim K defined eye brows are slipping out of fashion. It was also recently mentioned in a Make up Master class by Paddy Mgurgan that he is seeing less and less demand for heavily coloured brows, perhaps this is a trend that is trickling down from the catwalk to every day people!
The eyes are the most defining part of the look and is what underlines that care free rolled out of bed look. Tom Fords Onyx Eye Pencil was used around the natural shape of the whole eye followed by Tom Fords Noir Absolute Gel Liner applied by smudging into the eye line combining with the eye pencil that had been applied. Mascara was only used on the root of the lashes3 The lips are also blamed and bare.
This is a relatively quick make up routine and is something that can really be adapted by every day people, Making it much more appealing to ordinary people such as myself. Its something that one can achieve during the morning rush before work as almost a quick cheat to smokey eye!
I browsed nearly all of the AW14 looks and it seems this get out of bed look was a bit of a recurring theme! With the likes of Peter Some, Missoni and Antonio Berardi sending ladies down the catwalk with the 'I don't care!' eye make up.

This campaign is Maybellines current advertisement for there eye liners and gel liners. They have gone for a similar 'just got up' smudgy eye look with a slightly different take including a huge winged eyeliner to show off what there products can do.

| Hair Designer Orlando Pita Tom Ford AW144 |

His portfolio consists of only the top profiles having styled for the cover of Vogue, Vanity fair, Elle magazine as well as working on an endless number of A list celebrities and catwalks. Aside from defining hair styles around the world, Orlando Pita also has his own luxury hair care range.
This is not the first show Orlando Pita has styled for Tom Ford the last I remember being SS14 campaign where models had a stylish and full of volume slightly messy up do.
For the AW14 Campaign Pita styled the hair into a free flowing natural looking straight hair style. This seemed a key aspect to the show, "Ford wanted the girls to feel real, natural and not to precise"6
Models had a blow dry to give volume and the hair was then straightened, Creme was used to control any fly aways.6 Its not clear to me what cream was used however an alternative for controlling fly aways is Bed Head Smoothing Cream.
