It is very rare that the backstage beauty directive at a Tom Ford show diverges from the “smoky, sexy, sultry” script the designer wrote for himself and the Ford faithful years ago. And so it went for spring, where some of his favorite models, including Liya Kebede and Mariacarla Boscono, graced the runway, which split a custom-fabricated lounge—equipped with built-in bars, of course—in smudged, ruddy-brown lids and sculpted cheeks. But the players often change. This season it was Yadim’s turn to blend the dark-chocolate shadow from Ford’s beloved Eye Quad in 37 Smoky Quartz and the shimmering red and burgundy shades from 04 Honeymoon into something that felt “glam rock, and a little more rock ’n’ roll,” Yadim said as he added a dab of Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream to the tops of lids while Bella Hadid filled in her own brows and Ford made the rounds checking in to ensure there was no mascara. Leaving no detail unattended, Ford didn’t want heavy lashes this year, Yadim revealed. “Carine [Roitfeld] hasn’t been wearing mascara recently and Tom loved that!”
