Lara Stone is the face of the much-anticipated Tom Ford color cosmetic line.
Tom Ford is known as a visionary with an incredible sense of style. Lara’s make-up in the ad campaign pays homage to the seventies, an era that was recently celebrated in the make-up category on the runways of Paris, London, New York and Milan. Not surprisingly Tom worked with the British makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury on developing the cosmetics, Charlotte is a renowned make-up artist and is a staple back stage at London and New York Fashion Week.
Tom's vision includes reshaping the face with illuminating and sculpting products such as the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate cream duet. He prefers color than a nude face: “For night, it’s a strong eye and a strong mouth.” Eyes are most definitely smoky, and the key is to “anchor” intense colors around the eye with a rim of kohl-effect pencil, said Ford. The end effect is the feminine aesthetic at Studio 54 circa 1978, the full glossy lips and thick brows, the sparkling eyes and the long flowing locks on characters including Jerry Hall, Lauren Hutton, Mariel Hemingway and Bianca Jagger.
