Haute Couture runway shows not only take us to fashion wonderland, but they also show us a new, artistic and creative side of makeup. Tulle pieces, shiny metallic detailing, glitter liners, crystals…there is nothing that can’t be turned into makeup treasures when it comes to the most luxurious runway shows in fashion.
The work of makeup artists during these shows has always fascinated me. Instead of creating an everyday look, they think completely out of the box and let their imaginations do the job. As a result, we get gorgeous makeup transformations that encourage all fashion and makeup lovers to experiment with makeup, even if it’s for everyday use.

The makeup artists for Chanel kept the makeup as simple as possible.

Chanel never disappoints us with haute couture shows. In 2013, the artists created the absolute dark and dramatic fantasy with a feather-like eyeliner look and soft black tulle appliqués. (more…)
