The girls of Vena Cava were inspired by the bright murals of the South African Ndebele Tribe for their Spring/ Summer 2010 collection...
Lloyd Simmons translated this inspiration and designed the makeup look for the show featuring neutral matte eyes, matte skin, no blush and a bold dusty violet matte mouth. Brows are kept natural with a bit of grooming gel. Dare I make the prediction that matte is back??? Lloyd did the makeup test on Sophie (above), a friend of the designers....

To note: Most of the models would be wearing vintage black sunglasses throughout the presentation so the actual eye makeup look was for the benefit of backstage picture op benefits. This was also another reason why the brows were brushed straight up as they would peek out on top of the frame of the sunglasses. In addition to the sunglasses, some of the girls would also be wearing big black visors, hence Ted Gibson's hair design took that into account....
