It’s All In The Eyes. Beauty Details From Dries Van Noten
You've never seen liner like this before
For the first womenswear runway show in over two years, Dries Van Noten left no stone unturned. From all-black tailoring to an explosion of acid bright florals, the collection was an awe-inspiring mash-up of colour, structure, seriousness and unbridled joy.
The makeup look followed a similar suit. Makeup artist Lucy Bridge sent forth a mixed bag of liner looks: chalky cobalt blue, pewter grey, shining gold, rich black and stark white. The shape was long and rounded: not quite a wing, but slicker than your average smoked-out shadow. Graphic and imperfect and — most interestingly — varied — the resulting impact was high and lasting.
Bridge kept the eyes a focus, finishing each face with clean skin, a slight gloss, hydrated lips and pared-back brows (a common beauty trend that’s infiltrated runway looks this season).
Hair was by the legend that is Sam McKnight, who kept things slick by pairing natural texture with a wet-look finish. Strands were glossed and gleaming, worn loosely tied back or out, and with a few pieces left to frame the face. Masculine but with a rocker edge, it was the perfect finishing touch.
