Even so, we were gifted some truly stellar makeup looks to drool over. Fashion Week always show off the best of the best, but this year we have the additional bonus of getting to see makeup artists being truly innovative in their presentation.
Savage x Fenty
Priscilla Ono, the global makeup artist for Fenty Beauty, made this look possible. Along with makeup artist Hector Espinal, they created a ’90s bombshell look with bedroom eyes that made us all fall in love.
Chanel
This smokey look was created by the brand’s Global Makeup and Color Designer Lucia Pica, using Chanel Beauty eyeshadows. This blurry, hazed-out eye is the slept-in cousin of traditional smokey eye looks.
Xuly.Bët
Makeup artist Alice Ghendrih created this clean-skin, bleached-brow look for fashion week that is no-makeup makeup with an edge. While bare-face was a trend this season, Ghendrih elevated that standard with edgy brows.
Paco Rabanne
Brand owner and legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath created this slightly blurred cat eye for the Paco Rabanne show. It’s rocker chic in the best way possible.
Hermès
The Hermès runway showed off the brand’s lipsticks in a bold, classic French-girl style. Along with the red lips, a coral pink eyeliner in the waterline tied together the look with a play on monochromatic makeup.
Christopher John Rodgers
Makeup artist Marcelo Gutierrez created this sculpted eye and pale lip using MAC Cosmetics products. A play on ’60s beauty, this makeup adds dimension, giving the models a doe-eyed, exaggerated look.
