Paris Fashion Week 2013

NONE OF THE IMAGES ARE MY OWN. FROM VARIOUS INTERNET SOURCES

This post is horrendously late (2 months late to be exact) and you’ve probably already read everything you need to know about Paris Fashion Week.  However, when I start something, I see it through, and to round off my other posts about fashion month, here are my beauty favourites for Paris Fashion Week.  Due to university commitments I have neglected this blog a little, however I have turned a corner and plan to post properly again! Enjoy x

Oh...am I to distracted by how gorgeous Cara Delevigne is to write anything about the makeup and hair  at Chanel? Maybe, but I do think that the bold silver eyes and low bun are a perfect wearable evening look and would be easily translated off the catwalk. I love metallic eye makeup, and this really popped on the catwalk.

Marc Jacobs took his graphic aesthetic with retro touches to Paris, and the Louis Vuitton catwalk featured groomed beehives, contoured eyes and strong brows, which also made an appearance at his eponymous label. I think the effect is beautifully feminine, and the hair ribbons gave a girly contrast to the striking collection.

Chloe is one of my favourite fashion houses, and the messy low ponies and bronze eyes look as chic as you would expect.

One thing that stood out for me at Celine was how beautiful the skin was. So natural you could see freckles, and dewy, it looked young and fresh. Personally I’m a bit of a full coverage die-hard and this made even me want to loosen up on the foundation. Light coverage is so much nicer in warmer wearther.

In terms of makeup, Dior was, I think my, favourite look of Paris Fashion Week. I don’t think it even needs an explanation! The eye makeup here is so so beautiful, all I can say is, Pat McGrath, you are a goddess.

Jean Paul Gaultier took us back to the 80s with his collection, so while LFW was all about children of the 90s reliving their childhood, here’s one for the 80s kids. Blue eyeshadow? Check!
