Who: Bowie
When: 8pm, May 1. The Theatre, Overseas Passenger Terminal
Inspiration: An ethereal beauty emerging from her birthplace of an almost frozen lake, she is protected (and dressed) by nature and the elements. She is an aura.
Hair: Kevin Murphy for
Hair style: "It was a mixture of both our ideas, so we went for sort of went for a lady of the lake. When I saw his clothes, they were all sort of shiny and mermaidy and we decided to go for a look where you might have put your hair up then fallen to the bottom of a lake and then you've come back up again. So we're creating an up-do, getting rid of a lot of the hair. Then we're waving the roots and putting an experimental product on the ends to make the hair look like it's wet but it's really to give it a high shine. So it's sort of going to be rolled back then pushed forward. The key products are Texture.Master and Hair Resort Spray," says Kevin Murphy.
Make-up: Napoleon Perdis for
Make-up style:
"We wanted to keep the make-up so that it was almost floating and not particularly defined and no boundaries. So any colours that we've used has been fused, so they look like they're washing together. And the reason for that is that Bowie's inspiration was that these women are sort of other-worldly creatures that are being born from the water, so he was very descriptive in the colours that sit on the body of a water. All of the elements that we've done tie into this. So we've got silver on the eyelid, which could feel a little futuristic, but because we have no boundaries or sharp edges it has a sort of weightless feel, which is what we were after. Everything we've used has that kind of wet texture, so we haven't powdered at all. We've gone as far as to put a clear mascara through the brows so it looks nice and shiny," says Rebecca Prior.
"Incorporating the elements: sun, water, ice and wind into this look, I wanted it to be otherworldly but full of life. Skin is polished, dewy sunkissed, the lid is slightly frosted in tones of silver pearl (China Doll Liner in Silver) and the lip has been touched by the cold lake water - reminiscent of melting ice," says Napoleon Perdis.
