Three words for fall’s makeup: Colour. Theatricality. Boldness. And four inspiring trends seen on fashion’s catwalks.
Big, bold, beautiful lashes
As seen on the catwalks of Brandon Maxwell, Christian Dior and Giambattista Valli
Draw Twiggy lashes on your eyelids, thicken them with false lashes or crank up the volume with multiple layers of mascara… no matter what or how you do it, go bold and be sure to pare down the rest of your makeup so everything gets the attention it deserves!
Dramatic eyeliner
Seen on the runways of Missoni and Yves Saint Laurent
There are no half-measures with this look! The deep-black cat’s eye that’s stretched all the way to the temple is THE eye makeup look of the season. Pair it with nude lips or intense red for a chic punk look that would make Sid and Nancy green with envy!
Red lips
Seen on the catwalks of Chloé, Fendi and Louis Vuitton
The classic of the classics! Give yourself that bitten-lip look by applying the colour to the heart of your lips or create a fiery look with a super–saturated red. Purple, ruby, matte, glossy… your wish is your lipstick’s command!
Pop goes the eye shadow
Seen on the catwalks of Moschino, Carolina Herrera and Benetton
Who says acid colours can only be worn in the summer? This season, do up your eyes with royal blue, lime green, fuchsia or sun-yellow! Use a highly pigmented cream shadow and apply it with your finger or a brush. Once again, play down the rest of your look. These poppy colours are divas and share the stage with no one!
