KEY POINTS:
Cybèle's Halcyon collection was inspired by Kingfishers, but you could have picked that based on the beauty alone with a "kingfisher" blue eye palette and feathered eye lids.
But before you write Cybèle off as unoriginal, based on the abundance of feathers on runways lately, take note.
The "feathers" were actually small individual strips of multi-coloured papers, adhered in the shape of feathers. They really didn't want the feathers to look obvious and obviously, they succeeded.
Not meaning to sound corny, but that striving away from the ordinary is the sort of quirky thinking that sets designers and beauty teams apart.
The face really was all about the eyes, with the gorgeous teal shadow and aforementioned feathering, the rest of the face was left bare, with smudges of nude gloss on lips and cheeks.
As predicted, Marcel waves made another appearance, this time in a messy undone version care of hairstylist Lucy Vincent-Marr.
As the stylist said, she wanted to take the original idea and update it.
"We wanted to take out the softness and old fashioned-ness, so we roughed it up, made it slightly messy with textured ends."
This is the sort of thing we like to see - taking a well used idea and making it your own. Seems like Cybèle does that in all her chosen mediums.
