With brightly colored lids and bare faces, embellished hair and stark polish, the big news from the runways is 
all about opposing forces—so get ready to choose a side.
Art Pop
The Look: From grease-painted lids at Chanel to Jackson Pollock paint-splattered skin at Vivienne Westwood, this look is about having fun and being seen. At Givenchy, P&G Beauty global creative design director Pat McGrath created an army of glimmering warrior women. “It was an extreme individualized statement through makeup to rebel against the idea of standardized beauty. It’s about standing out in a different way,” McGrath says. “The Swarovski crystals created a dramatic storytelling experience about tribal elegance and what it means to be a strong and focused woman in today’s world.”

DIY: For megamakeup that looks evening chic, not costume-party bright, play up one feature—eyes, lips, or cheeks—at a time. “Balance is everything. The sexiest makeup is about self-expression,” McGrath says.

The Emperor's New Makeup
The Look: When Estée Lauder creative makeup director Tom Pecheux and Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing decided to send girls down the runway sans evident makeup, Pecheux devised a master plan for flawless skin. “We spent 30 to 35 minutes doing facial massages and about five minutes covering pimples and under-eye bags,” Pecheux says. “The foundation is there to not be seen—and to create a perfect finish.”

DIY: For full coverage that doesn’t look obvious, “apply makeup, then top with moisturizer and pat the face with a tissue,” says Wang’s makeup pro Diane Kendal, who calls this a “male grooming approach.” To avoid a masky look backstage at Proenza Schouler, Kendal worked a touch of color into otherwise bare faces by pressing bronzer into cheeks.
