Around five years ago, my friend Esther Walker asked me to do her make-up for a shoot. Before I’d even begun, she issued a series of orders, the most emphatic of which was reserved for her lips: she wanted them to not be too pronounced, and barred me from using any lipstick at all.
I followed her orders despite their being at the time quite niche; lipstick was at its zenith, and nearly all make-up wearers partook.
