lead face painter at Ralph Lauren

According to Tom Pecheux, lead face painter at Ralph Lauren, the inspiration for the entire collection, and therefore makeup look was The Last Emperor. Models' eyes were given an Asian look by smudging both mascara and liner in the outer V of the eye, but the red lip was most definitely the statement piece of the palette. The matte red was simply patted on to give the effect of a tint, more than a lipstick. There were three hair looks with varying parts, and whether up or down, all were high on shine and poker straight, again referencing the Asian look.
