Ruffian
Most models received a swipe of “Ruffian Naked,” a creamy beige lipstick that’s part of the label’s collaboration with M.A.C. But a select few had crimson mouths. “We’re applying ‘Ruffian Red’ on the three redheads in the show. We thought the surprise would be fun,” explained makeup artist James Kaliardos. Brian Wolk, one half of the design team who made a cameo backstage, had another explanation for the beauty move: “We love red on red.”
