Paris Fashion Week softens its beauty approach

Paris dialled down the high-voltage catwalk beauty for day seven of its Spring/Summer 2019 Fashion Week, putting a pretty, feminine spin on hair and makeup for the upcoming season.


Alexander McQueen

Golden, shimmery highlighter was on the cards at Alexander McQueen, where it was dabbed around the eye socket for an ethereal look. Wet-look hair and a glossy lip added to the dewy vibe.

Giambattista Valli

Glowing complexions, bold brows and a nude lip made for a romantic look at Giambattista Valli, where the models also wore their hair loose and wavy for extra softness.

Stella McCartney

British designer Stella McCartney’s catwalk look was all about the glow, with shimmery highlighter applied liberally to the forehead, nose, and chin for a dazzling result. The rest of the hair and makeup was kept low key.

Sacai

Barefaced beauty was the name of the game at Sacai, with wet-look hair pulled across the face as bangs, adding texture to the look.

Leonard Paris

Leonard Paris championed a delicate beauty look that revolved around pretty pink blusher and lipstick. A lack of mascara and a scraped-back hair style kept the look elevated.
