Top 5 secrets for creating smoky eyes from Peter Philips for the Dior show

The Christian Dior fall-winter 2021 show was held in the hall of mirrors at the Palace of Versailles to the delight of everyone involved in the fashion industry, because this season many brands canceled offline shows, preferring to present new collections using lookbooks. The show from Christian Dior, as always, was permeated with a special atmosphere, and black became the king of the ball - both in clothes and in makeup.

For the makeup look, Peter Philips chose smokey eyes, doing them in black and gray shades. Makeup artist and creative director of Christian Dior Maria Grazia Chiuri agreed that makeup should not look seductive, because it will complement the image of a strong woman. That is why smokey eye makeup in neutral colors without gothic style became the best solution.

So, what will you need to replicate the fashionable makeup look from the Dior show?

Skin preparation

Firstly, it is important to carefully prepare the skin of the face, as well as the area around the eyes for further smoky eyes. Peter Philips applied Capture Totale Super Potent serum to the entire face, and additionally Super Potent Capture Totale under the eyes and did a light massage with a special metal applicator that comes with the product.

Face makeup

The makeup artist helped make the skin more matte and disguise minor imperfections with the new Dior Backstage Powder-No-Powder face powder.

Eyes

Using a matte black pencil Diorshow 24H Stylo 091 Matte Black, the makeup artist drew thin, neat arrows on the lower and upper eyelids of the models. The next step is to apply Diorshow Mono Couleur Couture 098 Black Bow Matte shadows to the outer and inner corners of the eyes, carefully shading them. If you thought that there were beige shadows on the central part of the eyelids, you are mistaken. The makeup artist left this area “naked.”

Peter Philips emphasized that mascara is inappropriate in this makeup - it would add a touch of sensuality to the image, while the main goal of this makeup solution is to emphasize the restraint and confidence of the heroine.

Brows

Peter Philips emphasized the shape of his eyebrows using the Diorshow Brow Styler pencil and Diorshow Pump'N'Brow.

Lip makeup

The makeup artist decided to complete the makeup with the help of a transparent balm, which moisturized the skin of the lips and provided them with a well-groomed appearance and a slight shine.

Explaining the mood of the look, the makeup artist noted that the mise-en-scène of the presentation made the girls' appearance even more dramatic, emphasizing that lighting and environment can have a drastic impact.
