Tom Ford: The collection's opulent glamour was carried through to the hair and makeup by Orlando Pita and Charlotte Tilbury. Tilbury drew a luscious shade of chocolate brown around the eyes, enhancing them by making skin and lips uniformly pale; Pita recreated the same shine on the hair, which he parted on one side and gathered in a hidden, low bun
