Feathers, glitter, and red lips, galore! The spring-summer couture season is upon us, which means the most-cutting edge fashions are making their way down the Paris runways. But look up from the jaw-dropping gowns and you'll notice some of the most innovative beauty looks of the season. From Giambattista Valli's feathers-turned-eye masks to Dior's cat-eyes that would make any goddess jealous, here are the best beauty looks from spring-summer couture 2020.
Viktor& Rolf’s Fresh Ink
What pairs best with retro, doll-like lashes, you ask? If you’re makeup artist and creative genius Peter Philips, the only suitable answer is face and body tattoos. (Somewhere Post Malone is shaking.) The temporary body art featured positive affirmations across the model’s foreheads, chests, and necks. Very biker gang meets inspirational speaker chic.

Valentino
Pat McGrath’s sublime sparkle for Valentino Couture will have you dreaming of spring. Bright shadows in hot pinks and baby blues and high-shine glossy lips paired perfectly with the bold colored gowns that walked down the runway.

Jean Paul Gaultier's Farewell
Erin Parsons, Maybelline Global Makeup Artist, was responsible for the show-stopping beauty looks at Jean Paul Gaultier. Each beauty look perfectly suited the couture fashion. From black and green shadows that matched camo print couture to glitter liners and sparkly earrings, this farewell show was beautiful from head to toe.

Maison Margiela's Pop of Color
Leave it to our muva Pat McGrath to craft the ultimate pop of color. Beyond the electric blue, tangerine orange, and lemon yellow lips, models donned biodegradable headpieces, brooches, and cufflinks made from fresh fruit and vegetables immediately before the show.

Givenchy's Wedding Inspo
Innovative hairstylist Paul Hanlon was behind the beautiful hairstyles at Givenchy's runway show. The collection of bedazzled headpieces, padded headbands, and delicate and intricate bows made for a collection Blair Waldorf would envy. The show standout had to be the giant veil worn by Kaia Gerber. Wedding inspo, anyone?

Armani's Nudes
Giorgio Armani’s International Makeup Artist, Linda Cantello, crafted a very wearable neutral palette to juxtapose with the colorful clothes in the runway collection. "To bring a hit of modernity, a pop of neon pink was added to the lip for a 3-dimensional enhanced nude," explains Cantello.

Dior Goes Goddess
Peter Philips, creative and image director for Dior makeup, was behind the bold eyes and natural nude lips at Dior's latest runway show. Philips emphasized the eyes with a double line of graphic eyeliner highlighted in gold. "I drew a double line of black eyeliner like two little 'wings' that were both discreet yet very graphic," explains Philips. "Applied at the corner of the eye, separated by a swipe of gold."
