The dynamic world of beauty requires makeup artists and lovers alike to have their fingers on the pulse for the newest trends, whether that be storming the runways or trending on TikTok, staying current is essential in the beauty industry!
Here at MYKITCO we have created In The Spotlight to give exclusive access to celebrity makeup artist James Molloy’s stand-out MYKITCO brushes. In The Spotlight will provide monthly updates to give the MYKITCO community insider knowledge of backstage techniques and the brushes used to achieve them.
After keying the Tamara Ralph show at Paris Couture Fashion Week, James shares his expert knowledge on how to achieve the youthfully flushed and perfectly glowing skin we saw on the runway. Backstage skin is minimal, textural, and elevated, something we have seen echoed on runways all over the world. Most recently, Pat McGrath’s look for the Maison Margiela couture show exploded from runway to viral fame due to the surreal porcelain doll-esque skin created. The tremendous amount of love shown towards this look reinforces the importance of James’ three principles of backstage skin; minimal, textural and elevated. To master backstage techniques, it is essential to select the best tools to enhance your artistry.
