Glitter, Braids, Neon & More of the Best Beauty Looks from Paris Fashion Week

March 7, 2013

Chanel

We can't talk about Paris beauty without mentioning Chanel. Not only did the brand debut a new must-have nail color, Elixir is the perfect orange/red for fall, but the glitter loaded lids have us wondering if we could pull it off.

Saint Laurent

Say what you will about the collection, but we love this slept-in eyeliner look. We don't advocate actually sleeping in it but try smudging a high gloss gel liner around your eyes for the same effect.

Givenchy

Headpiece notwithstanding, we loved the russet-toned eye at Givenchy. Add a bit of black liner for a new evening look.

Kenzo

This may not be your everyday look but we loved the play on a peach lid with a smudged lower lash line rather than the traditional cat eye.

We went on about shading when talking about Milan and here it is again in Paris. If there's one lesson we're going to hammer in for fall it's that blending is paramount.

Viktor & Rolf

The return of Heidi braids has been well and truly worked over by the cynics but we love this upside down version. It's a great look for work.

Christian Dior

We've said it a lot recently but pink is definitely the lip color of 2013. This neon stain centered right in the inner crease of the lips is a modern take on the trend.

Balmain

We're always on the hunt for a great go-to daytime look and this soft yet polished face is perfect for that awkward summer to fall transition.

H&M

Not your average PFW show but we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the undone waves at the H&M show. We loved the glossy, relaxed styling.

Anthony Vaccarello

Matchy makeup is a bit much for everyday but we love the warm eggplant tone featured in this look, even if we wouldn't wear it on our lips and eyes at the same time.
