It was a moment for red-lip lovers to covet, and a night for Kirstine Crabb to celebrate, her 12 years of business - with label Miss Crabb. Off site from NZ Fashion Week the designer showcased her in store, spring/summer collection to a 150 strong crowd. Senior Artist MAC Cosmetics Kiekie Stanners who lead the charge backstage, took a bold approach. “PJ Harvey beauties with a pop of Andy Warhol.” Which translated into shades of sea blue on lids, and an ever impressive slick of matte red. As lovers of clashing colour - we felt complelled to share it.
