The best of haute couture beauty
Red lips and dramatic blusher were on the menu at some of the Spring/Summer 2018 haute couture fashion shows in Paris recently.
Alexandre Vauthier
The blusher crept even further up the models’ faces at Alexandre Vauthier, where a kaleidoscopic combination of shimmering colours blended together for the ultimate artistic, smoky-eyed look.
Chanel
The red lip made a comeback for Chanel’s ultra-feminine Spring/ Summer collection, with the models’ signature beauty look centering around a precisely-applied scarlet hue that immediately conjured up notions of old-school glamour – an approach underscored by the formal floral headwear that featured heavily throughout. Eyeshadow was applied in flattering shades of pinks and violets to complement the look.
Alexis Mabille
Alexis Mabille put a contemporary twist on the “draping” blusher technique that surfaced on the catwalks a few seasons ago, using a vivid pink tone that began at the temples and stopped mid-cheekbone. Makeup-free eyes made the blusher the focus of the look, while a fierce red lip kept things polished.
Giorgio Armani Prive
Spiky false lashes – top and bottom – made for a feminine yet edgy makeup look at the Giorgio Armani Prive show. Pale aquamarine and blue eyeshadow shades added depth to the look, while bushy brows and nude lips added a low-key element.
Givenchy
Givenchy made a case for chunky eyeliner with a flat-edged, winged look that extended just past the inner corner of the eye. Matte skin and a slick of lip gloss kept the look fashionably understated. – AFP Relaxnews
