Just when we thought we'd shaken off nineties minimalism in favour of the infinitely more glamorous proposition of the seventies, Costume National happened. Or more specifically, Lucia Pica happened. Having pioneered the triple blush trend back in London at Roksanda Ilincic, for Costume National, she once again brought her masterful brush work to the fore with a look that was nineties inspired - yet executed with such beauty that thoughts of grungy, tired-looking models immediately evaporated. In their place, beauty adopted a newfound purity with a seemingly make up-free look that we're all going to want to master come autumn.

'This is beautiful nakedness,' said Pica, wielding her hero product of the hour - MAC's Pro Conceal and Correct Palette of nine complexion maximizing shades. 'It's about achieving a super soft base with a velour texture, created by precisely buffing concealer around the eyes, nose and chin'. So the pinky shade from the concealing palette melted dark shadows away at the inner and outer corners of the eyes, allowing a darker tone to sculpt the cheeks.
