These are the best beauty highlights from the Haute Couture shows earlier this summer.
Chanel Haute Couture Fall Winter 2024-2025
Dior

Dior’s beauty look captured the same Olympic spirit that Maria Grazia Chiriu achieved with the clothing designs. Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup created“a look accentuating a fresh and luminous dewy complexion. Eyes were subtly illuminated with a golden eyeshadow.” The look featured dewy, glowing skin, achieved by the use of Dior Forever Skin Glow and Dior Forever Skin Correct. Eyes were a key focal point, and the translucent golden shade from the Diorshow 5 Couleurs 539 Grand Bal palette offered a luminous glow. Lips were a soft, natural nude tone, while hair was pulled back neatly off the face. A simple yet impactful look.

Chanel’s rosy makeup look was envisioned by the brand’s makeup artist Lisa Butler, who opted for a sheer glowy look. The skin was kept clean and fresh with Les Beiges Water-Fresh Complexion Touch and finished with the 2-In-1 Foundation Brush Fluid and Powder N.101. Any imperfections were blurred with the Le Correcteur De Chanel. Models were then given a glow on the cheeks with either Baume Moonlight Kidd or Baume essential solar glow applied to the apples of the cheeks. Eyes were also given a rosy glow with the Stylo Ombre & Contour in 42 Celestial Pink or 52 Ataaya, which was applied to the lids and softly blended. The overall beauty look was completed with a low bun and oversized bows to finish.
Schiaparelli
Schiaparelli
Schiaparelli’s makeup look was created by international makeup artist Pat McGrath, who worked to achieve an “alien-like” look that has been evolving with the brand’s last few shows. McGrath created an iridescent glow by layering the model’s faces with Skin Fetish: Highlighter + Balm Duo and finishing with Skin Fetish: Divine Glow Highlighter. Models’ looks were completed with an icy blue smudge around the eye that offered moonlike qualities. Many of the model’s faces were covered with translucent fabric and hair was pulled back from their faces.
Zuhair Murad
Zuhair Murad
Zuhair Murad turned to British makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury to create the look for his fall/winter 2024 Haute Couture show. The look was designed by Artistry Director & Brand Muse Sofia Tilbury using Charlotte Tilbury Beauty & Skincare. “For the makeup look, we wanted to reflect Zuhair’s depiction of an enigmatic woman who is unpredictable, courageous and free. To bring her strong, passionate personality to life, we created a bold, dramatic winged liner, keeping the rest of the face more neutral and pared down.” Sofia said. The team created a flawless skin effect with a soft, diffused finish. The skin was given a sheer glow with the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick, gliding it across the cheekbones and temples for a lit-from-within glow. To conceal and perfect, they combined Charlotte’s Magic Away and Beautiful Skin Concealer, using a slightly darker shade of the latter around the perimeter of the face to create some soft dimension. To set, they applied Airbrush Flawless Finish underneath the eyes, focusing more on the T-zone to achieve the look of smooth, blurred and perfected skin. Brows were gently brushed up to create some soft definition. Since the look was all about the eyes, the team finished with a barely-there look on the lips, adding hydration and subtle shine with Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir.
Giorgio Armani Privé
Giorgio Armani Privé
Giorgio Armani’s Fall/Winter 2024 Haute Couture collection was inspired by pearls and that luminous glow followed through to the beauty look that models showcase on the runway. Equipped with glowy skin and a natural finish, models looked as elegant and luminous as the pearls that inspired them. On the eyes, a simple black flick was applied to the lids and brows were brushed to attention. The look was completed with a pink lip tint that offered a touch of Hollywood glamour. Hair was sleek and straight with side partings and tucked behind the ears.
