Fashion weeks' runway looks have a love-hate relationship with me. I cannot wear some of them due to their unwearable drama (think extravagant false lashes, extremely dewy skin, etc) One time, I was absolutely stunned by the glossy eyelid look. I loved it so much. However, I cannot wear it outside because one, people will think I have a medical condition on my eye lid and two, you don't see people with really glossy eyelid walking around, do you? No, you don't because that just looks too crazy to be normal.
Here are the looks that I like from the #PFW16.
The look is simply whimsical and I don't even care if I am in love or not because I will wear this anytime, anywhere.
Actually, don't you think this look is perfect for a spring/summer picnic or a family event?
A stark difference from Nina Ricci's look is Louis Vuitton's Futuristic Goth look.
I have been seeing a lot of people scrambling for intense, dark lips this season, including myself. Personally, I think it's fun to have revolution against myself and stray away from the feminine, pink makeup and put on a dark, bold lipstick.
Isn't this look wonderful? Reminds me of Su Yue Ming's iconic look from Transformers 4 even though her look leans more towards matte lipstick and eyes are rimmed with jet black liner and lots of lashes. Also, trust Fan Bing Bing to bring her A-game to the fashion show she's attending. Look at her sticking to the theme right down to a T.
I wonder who will inherit her throne when it comes to making dramatic entrances? It'll be interesting.
Another look I adore is from Chloe's runway. The theme is 'Motorbike Babe'. The type of look I'll spend 5 hours smudging the eyeliner right to look effortless, and with high hopes of looking sexy, so that I can say, 'Oh, I'm not great with makeup, I'm just naturally this attractive' to those who ask. (Oh the irony)
Overall, I noticed that my favourite looks from Paris Fashion Week 2016 end up being the ones that radiate towards toned down makeup; something that doesn't make one look too made up and the ones that are everyday appropriate. Balmain, Valentino, Isabel Marant, Mugler, Stella McCartney - the runway looks from the names I've just mentioned are different variations of au natural looks with little to no dark eyeliner, bright clear eyes, clean canvases and natural lip colours.
That makes me wonder. Is the next trend going to be all about false eyelashes? I'm quite heartbroken because it has not been that long that I've mastered the cat eye flick after months of practices. Oh well, I can save it for the time when the trend rolls around in future.
What's your favourite makeup look from #PFW?
Love love love,
Rosie
