We have an intern in office who attends the same school as Saffron. When she was leaving the NYLON office after the shoot, I asked him if he knew her. What a silly question… of course he does. Saffron turns heads; she has bright eyes, an infectious smile, and red hair! On a normal day, you’ll find Saffron in school without a trace of makeup on her face — she says she likes her skin to breathe. Her weekend “less is more” style includes just a touch of concealer over blemishes and dark circles, creams and stains, and a strong eyeliner (“always a cat eye”, she says). And her look really works especially now that all the focus is on her striking mane. It suits her. If you think it might suit you too, these are the products she uses to achieve this look:
