Face architecture

Tom Ford’s colour collection will soon be available in Cork’s Brown Thomas, for the first time. Emphasising brows and cheeks, his goal is perfect symmetry, says Edel Coffey.

Face architecture sounds frightening but it’s what beauty is about, says fashion maestro Tom Ford. His colour collection hits Cork’s Brown Thomas for the first time, this month, and his aesthetic is about enhancing a woman’s natural beauty, via light and shade, to create a trompe l’oeil effect that hides our flaws and enhances our advantages.

The result? A perfectly symmetrical effect. Brows and cheeks are at the core of face architecture, so here, from the master himself, is a step-by-step guide to facial symmetry.
