Chic & Bold: 9 Beauty looks from Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week isn’t just about the fashion, and we’re loving the hot new makeup looks straight from the city of love. From deep outlined lips to dewy glowing skin, classy and daring faces are certainly on the menu… but where do you start? With so many products available and a sea of inspiration, we’re here to dive into the colours, formulas, and techniques to show you how you can look fresh off the runway this season.

Cardi B

Make your lips the centre of attention in a look that is bold and bossy. A flawless, natural base gives way to the dramatic lip line in a deep, striking black completed with natural lip colour is the perfect way to marry the weird and wonderful. If you’re looking for an accessible but professional looking style that is sure to turn heads this autumn, this is the look for you.

Kylie Jenner

Queen of makeup, Kylie, was seen embracing classic and sophisticated Parisian style in her makeup look for the Schiaparelli show. Seen with flawless matte base matched with a cool toned, natural eye and perfectly rosy cheeks, but what we’re loving is her million-dollar lips, coated in a glossy, glass like pink shade to contrast the matte look. Another take-away from this look is the deeper lipliner which seems to be the trend of the season!

Mae Tan

The gorgeous Mae showed her sophisticated side
in Paris this week, bringing a cat eye to the
catwalk done with expert precision using a pencil
to achieve a slightly softer, blurred effect.
Drawing the eye outward with a parallel waterline
flick created an elongated effect and with
prominent eyelashes, a Tim Burton-esque vibe is
achieved, the perfect deep look for autumn.
Natural, fluffy eyebrows in a cool, lighter shade
complement the look by playing a submissive role, not drawing attention from the dramatic eye. A deep brown lip is making us swoon and the blurred lip line, having the appearance of just being kissed, is a soft but daring touch.

Normani

Receiving the Alexander Echeverri treatment in Paris this week, the gorgeous Normani is bringing smoky back in expert cool toned, matte eye look. In a new highlight technique for autumn, precision takes new meaning in the simple yet jaw dropping highlight along her nose which isn’t seen on the cheekbones, a usual highlight staple, with the rest of the complexion being matte and natural. The lip look of the season is seen tying the face together with deep brown liner encasing natural pink lips.

Gabbriette

Grunge queen Gabbriette has been channelling Y2K in this subtle yet nostalgic look. Her thin brows are the centre of attention, minimally filled and accentuated with a pop of slightly shimmery highlighter around the brow bone. With little bronzer and blush in the look, the complexion is heavily dependent on a good quality, skin like foundation and concealer to emulate the natural skin while giving a sheer, luminous coverage. The perfect nude pink has also been used to enhance her natural pigment, but not overwhelm the look.

Gabbriette’s dark look

In a more dramatic variant of Gabbriette’s
flawless base, she explores how a bold smoky eye
is the perfect homage to Parisian fashion,
producing an air of sophistication around an
edgy, grunge look. The charcoal lid shade
features some prominent blue undertones and is
bluntly dragged across the lid and town to the tear
duct. Softening the look and producing the
smoky, blurred effect is a complementary brown
shade, seen lifting the colour into a slight cat-eye,
and lining the waterline, surrounding the eye. Matched with a cool toned pink lip gloss, we’re loving the Y2K vibe.

Brenda

For the Dior show at Paris this week, the iconic
Brenda was seen in a natural ‘woke up like this’
complexion with a gorgeous berry lip. The low-
coverage foundation gave her an airbrushed look
while remaining light and almost transparent on the
skin, acting as a subtle colour corrector on her
porcelain skin. The slightly pink shade around the
eyes, particularly on the water line, ties in with the
berry lip to give the look a sense of ‘completeness’
as the berry shade appears at the top and bottom of
the face creating a sense of unity. Complete with her full, fluff brows, we’re loving how she’s embracing her freckles and showing the world you don’t need layers of high coverage, removing uniqueness, to be beautiful.

Jordan Grant

Spotted in Paris embracing a blue eye shadow with a modern twist is Jordan at the Balmain show. The sheer blue with slight shimmer on the eye brings a pop of colour to her deep brown eyes, and a perfectly sculpted brow sits strongly above to combine the neat and playful. The look further embraces a dewy, lustrous glow in the cheeks, using pink highlight, and lips, using a natural pink gloss, to encapsulate a Y2K shine, contrasting a contemporary strong brow which we’re loving for autumn.

Jourdan Dunn

Undergoing a gorgeous Sophia Sinot makeover is
model Jourdan Dun for the Balmain show at Paris
Fashion Week. In completely flawless beat, we’re
stunned by the creaseless blending of the base which
seamlessly blends into eyeshadow. The lighter toned
concealer adds a natural highlight to the face, namely
undereye, chin, and nose, without an overpowering
shimmer. The sharp eyeliner has been buffed with
eyeshadow into a smoky effect towards the outer crease to create a blurred cat eye, and the tight liquid line defines the eye with expert precision, and an extremely steady hand! The lip, as we’ve seen a lot this season, utilises a dark liner around a natural shade and that glass-like gloss gives the perfect shine.
