Backstage at BAZAAR’s 21st Anniversary Party, Lancôme took centre stage, providing the make-up for a runway show that celebrated the intersection of fashion and luxury. In collaboration with Self-Portrait, the looks were carefully curated and executed by make-up artist Ummi Nasir and her team, who brought a refined vision to life with Lancôme’s trusted products.
The models’ make-up was designed to complement Self-Portrait’s modern aesthetic, achieving a balance of timeless elegance and contemporary appeal. Lancôme’s carefully selected products played a key role in ensuring each look met the demands of the runway while enhancing the natural beauty of every model.
A cornerstone of the preparation was the Génifique Ultimate Serum, which primed the skin for makeup application. This advanced formula, powered by Beta Glucan-CM technology, smoothed and hydrated the skin while addressing redness and fine lines. The result was a polished complexion, ideal for holding up under the intensity of the runway lights.
To perfect the base, the Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer provided lasting coverage with a breathable finish. Its versatility allowed the team to refine each model’s complexion, achieving an even tone and a fresh, natural matte finish. The product’s durability ensured the looks remained impeccable throughout the evening.
For the finishing touches, Lancôme’s Celestial Palette was instrumental in creating luminous, holiday-inspired details. With shades like Midnight Sky and Diamond Snowflake, the palette added depth and dimension to the eyes, evoking a sense of understated glamour that tied the entire look together.
Behind the scenes, the partnership between Lancôme and Ummi Nasir exemplified a shared commitment to artistry and precision, culminating in a runway presentation that was as seamless as it was striking.
