Greasepaint Eyes! Violet Lips! Gilded Crowns! : Five looks we loved from the Paris couture shows

Greasepaint Eyes! Violet Lips! Gilded Crowns! : Five looks we loved from the Paris couture shows


This season's above-the-neck additions offered unexpected takes on a few well-loved trends-from a delineated new slash of black eyeliner at Chanel to the vivid lips at Maison Margiela! Here are the five runway directives we'll be making uniquely ours in the coming months.

Go graphic

Amid Chanel's structured Zen backdrop, traditional flicks of winged black eyeliner were replaced by stylized delineations that mirrored the sculptural up-dos.

Put a bow on it

Ladylike lengths were pulled into low yet voluminous ponytails and finished with thin black ribbon headbands at Giambattista Valli. In true Parisian style, the look allowed for a halo of fuzzy baby hairs to have their day.

Reinvent the fiery red lip

Faces at Dior offered a cool juxtaposition: While some models got black liner and nude lips for their turn down the runway, it was the bold carmine shade-an electrifying cross between cherry and crimson-spotted on show regular Hedvig Palm that stole our hearts!

Think outside the make-up box

The larger-than-life makeup looks at Maison Margiela paid homage to a certain glam rock-inspired aesthetic, from a Bowie-esque eye dusted with astral sparkles to a playful lip-print-stamped face! Off the runway and in real life, it was a vivid, glitter-coated violet lip that promised to make an inspiring off-the-cuff statement.

Try a greasepaint eye

At Atelier Versace, sharply shaded lids were given new sex appeal with a greasy metallic black finish that extended outward into an exaggerated cat-eye, resulting in the kind of tough-edged look that Donatella has made a house signature.
