New Visions Of Beauty

Creativity In Colour / Zing

Words

“Beauty is an art form that appeals to the raw nature of visual attraction,” says Zing, one of Asia’s most celebrated makeup artists. Renowned for his creative and experimental use of cosmetics, we invited Zing to create three unique makeup looks to celebrate Lane Crawford’s 165th anniversary, based on his inimitable visions of beauty.

OPTIONS

This vibrant multi-coloured look was inspired by the fun and enjoyment to be had with cosmetics.

OPTIONS

“With makeup, it is pleasurable to have options,” says Zing. “In order for contrasting colours to coexist harmoniously, we need to understand their differences and similarities in weight and density; by doing so, we can grasp the tension and coherency between them. The asymmetric use of multiple colours in this look inspires us to have fun, break rules and realise we have options.”

FOUNDATION

By playing with the idea of how foundation is applied, Zing created this look, which amplifies the effects of this everyday beauty basic with striking results.

FOUNDATION

Zing explains: “If our face is to be a beautiful painting, our skin needs to be a perfect canvas – therefore, foundation is key. Foundation is fundamentally used to even out skin tone and create a desired skin texture; I’ve twisted foundation’s purpose to larger-than-life proportions for this look so that the skin is brutally textured and heavily foundation-ed in black.

SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

Zing’s final look created especially for our 165th anniversary celebration was aptly inspired by the experience of shopping in Lane Crawford itself.

SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

“Shopping for skincare and cosmetics at Lane Crawford is an exhilarating experience that is often fruitful and always pleasurable,” describes Zing. “With a myriad of the best brands and most captivating products available, we find ourselves in a haven of beauty... Our eyes widen and our pupils dilate! Consequently, this look was inspired by Jean Cocteau’s paintings and the unfolding beauty of analytic cubism, literally expressing the eye-opening aspects of the shopping experience.”
