"Different cultural references work beautifully in make-up. Here (above), I took the Natural Palette (£30) of gold, ochre and amber- colours associated with Egyptians"..."The eye remains elongated, triggering Cleopatra associations, but by using a different colour it is modern" (Ales Box)

The 20s influence

The catwalks were brimming with "deco details and Twenties silhouettes" (Lucy Hutchings) as a result of Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F.Scott Fitzgerald's classic The Great Gatsby coming to cinemas in December'12.

The affluent leisure class of The Great Gatsby was fully manifested on Ralph Lauren's S/S'12 catwalk collection. The show featured cloche hats, silky separates with watercolour florals in Easter pastels and the most glamorous of gowns.

Designers have utilised all-over beaded embellishment, decorative flapper dresses and a silky gloss aesthetic to evoke an image of 20s fashion: Gucci and Etro showed tasselled trims, Marchesa worked with lavish beading and Ralph Lauren created a froth of ostrich feathers.
