Ooh La La

The top fashion houses in the world held their Haute Couture Fashion Week last week in Paris. Couture shows are my favorite!! The clothing, makeup, and hair make all come together to create amazing, walking art.

Givenchy’s models wore an extremely dirty, smokey eye on the runway. Makeup artist extraordinaire, Pat McGrath, applied royal blue glitter in the inside of the eye and topped off the look with matte red lips. Looks like the “no-eyebrow” trend is still going strong.

The models walking the Jean Paul Gaultier runway wore an array of jewel tone colors on their eyes, and the lips were painted a rich bronze. I have to say, I don’t love this look Not many faces can pull off such a unique look with so many colors, and very few of the models walking this show did.

The key makeup artist for the show was Tom Pecheux using MAC cosmetics.

.

Valentino’s models were given bright strips of blue, green, purple and pink surrounding their eyes. The rest of the face was kept completely pale.

Always one to be classy, the makeup for Chanel was classic and simple, but the coral lip made the whole look very modern. I love this makeup!! It may not be the craziest, or most elaborate, but it definitely speaks for itself. The lips are Chanel’s Rouge Allure lipstick in Genial, from their Les Pop Up collection being released this summer.

As usual, Pat McGrath is also responsible for the makeup looks at the Christian Dior show. The makeup was not exactly alike for each model; the eyeshadows ranged from bright pink and blue to green and white. Most were given extremely arched eyebrows, winged liner, and precise, red lips. The makeup is stunning, but looks very similar to past seasons, very Galliano.
