As countries relax their epidemic prevention policies, the four major fashion weeks are once again active, with celebrities and internet celebrities from all over the world flocking to the front row of major brand fashion weeks, making the fashion weeks that have been quiet for several seasons once again the focus of the internet. Recently, the Gucci SS 2023 show invited IU, Olivia De Jong, Chiara Ferragni, and Fionn O’Shea to attend, adding more highlights to this show themed around Gucci Twinsburg. However, in addition to the strong guest lineup and the shocking theme of the show, the makeup designed by Thomas de Kluyver for the SS23 presentation is also another topic of focus.
The brand defined this event as Gucci Twinsburg, bringing together 68 pairs of twins dressed in the same new designs to walk the runway, presenting a mirror-like image that left the audience in awe, unable to distinguish whether the synchronized visuals in front of them were real or mirrored. The shock of “another me in the world” is not only in the clothing design, but also in the makeup and hairstyles presented.
Gucci Beauty international makeup artist Thomas De Kluyver designed multiple impressive makeup looks for the Gucci Twinsburg show, creating a striking effect with the mirrored twin effect. The focus of this season’s makeup is a pinky fair complexion with plenty of highlights to create a futuristic atmosphere.
The entire makeup look does not have too deliberate use of colors, with a large range of eyeshadows, strong eyeliners, and bright red lip colors all absent, replaced instead by light pink eyeshadows on a pale base, blush, and lip color, lightly brushed eyelashes to enhance the eyes, and a lot of pearl silver highlight on the bridge of the nose and cheekbones to highlight the contours.
In addition, the prominent facial decorations in the past few seasons are also key to beautifying makeup. Compared to previous seasons, this season’s facial decorations are more exaggerated and theatrical, whether it’s the dangling chain decorations extending from the nose to the ears, or the metal chains cascading from the top of the head, adding futuristic silver-white makeup with details that surpass reality.
