At Paris Fashion Week, the silhouettes catch the eye but it’s the faces and the hair that set the tone for the coming months. Between almost bare skin, colored lips and hairstyles at both extremes, the Parisian catwalks have drawn a very photographic beauty vocabulary. Behind this displayed simplicity, every detail is designed to be seen in a selfie as on a catwalk.
At the heart of this story, three strong signals emerge: the
glass skin fresh seen at Niccolò Pasqualetti with K-beauty makeup from Amuse, the return of red mouth at Victoria Beckham and the pink highlights seen at Isabel Marant, noted by Cosmopolitan. Echoing this, Vogue describes sparkling hair jewelry at Chloé and Chanel, and an assertive side parting at Saint Laurent. Together, these details construct a “new naturalness” spiced up with visible touches.
Glass skin and red lips: the new beauty duo of Paris Fashion Week
According to Cosmopolitan, at Niccolò Pasqualetti, make way for skin like
glass skinvery luminous, with cool tones, built with a well-moisturizing base, a light complexion with cushion foundation and lots of light. The idea is not to hide but to unify, almost like skin after treatment. To approach it at home, it is better to lighten the coverage, focus on hydration and reserve the highlighter for a few strategic points.
At Victoria Beckham, Cosmopolitan notes that the
red mouth marks its return, sufficient to give character “without making a ton of it”. This contrast works well on transparent skin. Concretely, a pencil to lightly redraw the contour, a creamy or velvety red applied with your finger and the rest of the face reduced to a minimum: brushed eyebrows, a hint of mascara, nothing more.
Pink highlights, messy hair and sleek bun: hair seen in Paris
Hair plays on extremes. Miu Miu claims a
messy hair a little messy, natural and rebellious, when Yves Saint Laurent imposes the sleek bunpulled bun with ultra smooth lengths. To adopt the first, work on a supple texture with a salty spray then crease by hand. For the second, smooth the roots, apply a styling gel or balm and put it all in a low ponytail or bun.
At Isabel Marant, Cosmopolitan spots fine pink highlights which instantly twist brown or blonde lengths. Weinsanto goes further with zebra highlights inspired by the animal prints of the collection, for a total Y2K look. For a wearable, everyday version, you can choose a temporary spray on a few strands below or clip-in extensions that are easy to remove, rather than permanent bleaching which weakens the fiber.
Graphic liner, hair jewelry and side part: details to copy
For the look, Mugler draws on the archives of Thierry Mugler, with references to the “Insectes” and “Chimères” collections: graphic eyeliner, stretched shadows, wet effect, chrome touches, while Elie Saab prefers jeweled makeup with precious details. Vogue also evokes a more imperfect liner at Dior or Schiaparelli, like the next day’s makeup, and above all the return of side partside parting worn with hair tinsel and hair jewelry at Chloé or Chanel.
