Chanel

The new creative director of Chanel, Virginie Viard, presented a feminine and elegant collection in the style of the brand. A mixture of textures, colors and prints, with a clear emphasis on classic shapes, was complemented by new tulle details and floral appliqués. The color palette of the collection was replete with different shades from bright fuchsia and trendy coral to pastel pink and dusty chocolate. Chanel's global creative director for makeup, Lucia Pica, decided to complement the models' looks with neutral makeup with an emphasis on the eyes. Thin cat-like wings with long ponytails peeked out from behind her glasses, and they were complemented by lipstick in a neutral shade. An ideal skin tone with a radiant effect and natural powder eyebrows completed the discreet and neat ensemble.

Dior

This season, Maria Grazia Chiuri presented all shades of black in her collection. The main theme was the relationship between fashion and architecture. On the catwalk, models paraded in black coats and jackets, dresses and skirts made of silk, tulle and organza, lavishly decorated with embroidery, feathers, sequins and lace. Neat hats, pearl earrings and chokers completed the looks, and the girls’ makeup could be seen behind a thin veil. The creative and image director of Dior Makeup, Peter Philips , worked on the makeup. The makeup artist wanted to create classic couture smoky eyes - not too sexy, but more poetic. A new eyeshadow palette and liner helped him do this to add intensity to the color. Peter left the girls' eyelashes bare, and applied only light pink lip gloss to their lips.

Givenchy

Clare Waight Keller's airy collection amazed everyone, and its main decorative element was feathers. They were placed on the hems of flowing dresses, on skirts and capes. The collection also included tweed suits, voluminous off-the-shoulder blouses, translucent dresses decorated with embroidery and lace, massive coats and two wedding dresses embroidered with feathers. Traditionally, famous makeup artist Pat McGrath was in charge of the makeup. She created simple and sophisticated makeup looks that harmoniously combined with fashionable outfits. The emphasis was on beautiful, radiant skin that seems to glow from within. There is a slight blush on the cheekbones, the eyebrows are only slightly emphasized. To finish, Pat applied mascara to the models' eyelashes and applied a nude lip gloss.

Ralf&Russo

During the show, designers Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo demonstrated outfits created in the Art Deco style of the 1930s. Models paraded in evening dresses embellished with silver metallic thread, pearls, sequins and glass beads, as well as colorful ball gowns and chic wedding dresses. The main beauty decision was nude makeup: the perfect skin tone, combed natural eyebrows and transparent gloss on the lips. But original accents were added to the makeup looks of several models with the help of metallic, sky blue and soft lilac eye shadows, which covered the upper and movable eyelid and stretched to the very temples.

Schiaparelli

The new artistic director of Schiaparelli, Daniel Roseberry, presented the world with fantastic dresses that reflect the chaos and hope of the turbulent era in which the founder of the fashion house, Elsa Schiaparelli, lived and worked. The designer’s creative creations were complemented by equally impressive accessories: crystal chains on long red nails, earrings in the shape of reptiles, cafés decorated with crystals, and ladybugs in the neckline and on the models’ faces. The makeup, which was created by makeup artist Lucia Pieroni, turned out to be no less memorable than the new collection. The lips of some models were covered with multi-colored glitter, the faces of other girls were decorated with large stones and crystals, and the necks of others were covered with black and silver glitter . Decorative elements were placed on the perfect satin faces of the models, so they took all the attention.
