AOFM Graduates Create Backstage Makeup at Saul Nash: Glowing Skin & Pro Prep Techniques

The makeup for Saul Nash focused on amplifying real skin. It was clean and glowing, with a wet feel that reflected perfectly under the catwalk lights. Designed to complement the collection’s movement, structure, and texture without overpowering it.

This look truly proved that a good skincare base can make or break makeup looks. The skin was carefully prepped using Dermalogica’s Ultra calming range, which helped soothe and balance, ensuring each model had a clean, calm base, under the Milan heat.

Prepping the skin to keep it hydrated, this hero range delivered a fresh, healthy glow. The team started by layering Skin Hydrating Booster into the high points of the face, followed by Skin Smoothing Cream. Then, we spot-concealed using a matte cream concealer where needed and added Egyptian Magic to finish the look.

The finish was genderless, fresh, and quietly powerful—perfect for a collection rooted in movement.
