The make up artist drew inspiration from late 90s proms, a punk Oliver Twist, and Japanese cosplay.

Drawing on his roots in the 00s rave scene, self-taught make up artist Thomas de Kluyver takes his inspiration from a unique and subtle mix of youth subcultures and classic beauty. He incorporates disparate references, from Japanese cosplay to Dickens’s Oliver Twist, into singular and memorable beauty moments.

For Fall 2019, he took Document backstage at Sies Marjan, Asai Takeaway, Gucci, Jil Sander, and Rokh, where de Kluyver captured six of the season’s most striking looks.

Thomas de Kluyver’s 6 favorite beauty looks from the Fall 2019 shows

“The line-up at Sies Marjan. Sander, the creative director, and I have been working together for a few years now so I really look forward to this show. For this look I had the idea of the makeup you’d wear to your prom in the late 90s.”

“A detail shot from the Asai Takeaway show in London. The inspiration for this look was punk meets Oliver Twist.”

“For Gucci this season, we gave 20 models these crying, Madonna-style, clear silicone tears.”

“One of my current obsessions is coloured contacts, and so for this look, also for Gucci, we gave a few models lenses. Hair stylist Paul Hanlon dyed Florence’s hair this fluorescent orange, so I decided to go for acid green lenses to contrast the colour. This particular pair I found in a crazy Japanese cosplay store in Tokyo.”

“For Jil Sander, black paint was smeared across the eyes with one definitive brush stroke and paired with perfect porcelain skin.”

“I took inspiration from artist Gisele Vienne for the doll like lashes at Rokh.”
