Bright Lips and Shady
Lids
Beauty is never the
primary focus when it comes to couture. After
all, what’s a cherry on a sundae worth tens of thousands of dollars?
Nevertheless, this season’s short week of shows was not without trends, and
here are three that really stuck out for us and how you can make them work for
you at home.
Naturally Neutral
Often, more natural
looking makeup looks are flat and lack dimension but this season’s nude is
multi-tonal and sculpted. Designers such as Bouchra Jarrar and Elie Saab
defined their models’ faces with warm contour shades and subtle highlights.
Natural makeup doesn’t have to be one-note, take your cue from them and use
warm neutral shades to your benefit.

Bright and Bold
“More is more” . While
designers usually subscribe to the 'less is more' mentality when it comes to
bold beauty (highlighting one feature at a time), this season they went with
'more is more'. Bold and bright lips were paired with wild and wonderful hair
styles, like at Alexis Mabille, or dark smoky eyes, at Jean Paul Gaultier. Now
this one is a bit harder to pull off at home but experiment with a new lip
color and bright eyeliner for a more wearable version.

Shady Styles
We are not saying
that couture level designers have been reading a certain (poorly written)
erotic novel that’s made waves the past few months, but there were many shades
of grey on the runways in Paris. Frosted silver, slate blue, and shimmering
pearl were key shades in the looks at shows like Chanel and Armani Prive. Where
you have to be careful when trying this look at home is you don’t want to
highlight any ashy tones in your skin. Opt for a blue or purple tinted grey for
the most impact.
