By the time Paris rolls around, everyone is really feeling it, yet the makeup felt energised and inspired with creativity, sitting alongside classic and well-delivered looks.
Fresh pops of colour appeared across beauty looks from the chalky pink lipstick at Chloe, to matte aqua eyeliner at Courreges and Jean Paul Gaultier, and glossy red making a statement at Tom Ford. Sitting next to clean complexions, these pops of colour felt ready for spring/summer to roll back around.
Parisian women are notoriously pulled together effortlessly, and that grown-up polish presented itself at many a runway, including Chanel, Dior, Lanvin and Victoria Beckham. Warm sculpted tones and subtle definition created understated luxury elements that everyone will want to replicate.
Finally, the grunge look came through in multiple beauty looks from heavy smoked-out eyeshadow at Alexander McQueen, densely kohl-ringed eyes at Nina Ricci, and black lined lips at Tori Sheju. Grunge always feels like the cool little sister; ultimately, she’s always the one we want to hang out with.
Get The Look - Heavy Grunge
“This look requires minimal skin coverage to keep it feeling modern so use a light concealer only where needed.”
“The blackest black liner that doesn’t budge when set. Work it into the lashline and quickly blur with a cotton bud to smoke it out.”
“Grunge is synonymous with a sweaty shine, this product provides gloss with no drips or stickiness and can be used across eyes, lips and cheekbones.”
Get The Look - Colour Flash
“Try an orange-toned red for colour that’s going to really pop, the slim tip here allows for expert application straight from the bullet.”
“I love the lavender and green combination here, which enhances all eye colours. Use an angled brush to line the eyes with one colour on top and another on the bottom.”
“The perfect cornflower blue applied simply in the waterline feels fresh and unexpected.”
“This sickly pale pink colour feels nostalgic and is oddly flattering with the metallic finish keeping it feeling hydrated and balmy.”
Get The Look - Grown Up Polish
“The ultimate grown-up foundation that cares for your skin whilst lightly covering. Apply with a soft buffing brush for skin that glows.”
“Line your lashes with the deeper chocolatey tones and pop the irridescent shades into the centre of the eye, there are neutrals here for every skin tone in this multifunctional palette.”
“Everything needs to feel effortlessly put together for this look and this gel will tint and gently hold your brows, brush upwards and outwards to open up the eyes.”
“A classic for a reason and very grown up, best applied with a dense brush working the contour into your skin for subtle sculpting and tap the highlighter onto cheekbones with a fingertip.”

“Use this all over the eyelid, applying with the applicator and then buffing out with a soft brush before adding gloss to the top and allowing it to crease for the ultimate grungey eye.”
