Westfield has teamed up with one of Britain’s most visionary makeup artists, Isamaya Ffrench, to unveil The Face of 2050 — a bold look at what the future of beauty could become.
The collaboration forms part of The Future Studio, a major feature of Westfield Days, exploring how innovation and creativity will shape the way we express ourselves. With sustainability, technology, and play at its core, The Face of 2050 reimagines beauty as both armour and art — expressive, protective, and deeply futuristic.
A Glimpse Into Tomorrow’s Vanity Table
Renowned for her daring artistry and collaborations with icons like Rihanna and Björk, Ffrench has designed a makeup vision inspired by the climate challenges and technological advances of the coming decades. Think iridescent “mirror skin,” metallic eyes, and lashes engineered to filter pollution.
Each element offers a creative response to real-world change — combining aesthetic experimentation with functionality.
Isamaya’s Predictions for the Beauty of the Future
Iridescent “Mirror Skin” – A hyper-reflective, luminous complexion infused with pigments that deflect UV rays while giving a multidimensional glow. Inspired by bioluminescent life forms adapting to heat and light.
Absence of Brows – A minimalist, alien-like blank canvas that embodies the fluidity of identity and post-digital expression.
Metallic Eyes – Molten tones of gold, copper, silver and violet inspired by digital avatars and holographic tech, designed to protect the eyes from harsh light conditions.
Thick Black Lashes – Graphic, exaggerated, and imagined as smart beauty prosthetics that could one day adapt to pollution and sunlight.
Bio-Responsive Glossy Lips – Shimmering, mood-boosting gloss infused with ingredients that hydrate, soothe and elevate emotional well-being — a true blend of tech and self-care.
