We chat to M.A.C senior artist Amber D about Lorde's makeup look at the Brit Awards and touring with the young star
Amber D, M.A.C senior artist for New Zealand and Australia, has been touring with Lorde through the whirlwind award season, working with the star to create the youthful, edgy look that she has become renowned for. For Lorde's latest award haul at the Brit Awards, Amber kept things true to
the singer's signature look with a lightweight and glowing face, a hint of a glossed eye and an even darker lip than usual, in a matte finish to play off her gorgeous Tom Ford gown. She tells us more.
How has Lorde's look evolved from the Grammy Awards?
It was quite different for the Grammys. We chose a more glossed looking eye to complement a much deeper lip shade for the Brits, keeping most of the makeup quite simple.
How much of the makeup is your influence and how much is Lorde? Or is it a real collaboration?
We are always in collaboration. I bring ideas to the table and Lorde will do the same.
How full-time is the work on Lorde's tour, do you have time for other jobs?
I am 100 per cent full time on tour at the moment! No time for anything else but that is no problem when my days are doing what I am doing. It's a blast!
