When it comes to Paris Fashion Week, natural and bare-faced makeup is the most common, while eye makeup becomes a major highlight. Many fashion brands are playing with colorful eye makeup, completely breaking the boundaries of traditional eye makeup. However, Balenciaga, Givenchy, and Valentino bring back the classic makeup interpretation, with a strong return of dark and mysterious eye makeup. Sharp black eyeliner and smoky eye makeup are sure to become the eye makeup trend of the coming season!
In the Valentino 2023 Autumn/Winter collection, creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli draws inspiration from the Black Tie silhouette and captures fragments of everyday life. Breaking gender boundaries, the collar is redefined and transformed into different fashion forms, reinterpreted as a focal point that emphasizes vitality and showcases individuality.
The makeup artist used bold and exaggerated brush strokes to draw striking black eyeliner on the clean base makeup of the model, with precise lines extending to the temples. In addition, black lines were used to outline the eyes, creating a proud and elegant feminine aura, breaking the limitations of cat-eye makeup. The Rockstud stud series, first introduced in 2010, became the highlight of the entire runway. The models’ faces were adorned with stud accessories, echoing the fashion and showcasing the brand’s multifaceted identity with a groundbreaking significance.
