Couture week F/W 2025 is well underway in Paris and the fashion set is living for the glamour. A-listers like Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley, and Cardi B have all dazzled with their various hair and makeup choices under the City of Lights (not to mention some seriously stunning outfits straight from the designers), but the beauty moment that truly took my breath away occurred back on the runway. The makeup at Iris van Herpen, the Dutch couturier who is well-known for her boundary-pushing designs and cutting-edge craftsmanship, sent models down the runway with the type of mega-watt glow I dream about pretty much on a daily basis.
Andrew Gallimore was the key makeup artist for the show, revealing in a press release to media that, "this goddess-inspired look had an aquatic, ethereal quality." He used pearl and shimmer shades of NARS Light Reflecting Luminizing Powder to the inner eye corner, across the brow bone, on the cupid's bow, and onto the temples "to elevate and illuminate." Each model received a muted lip color with NARS The Multiple in Dazed and Behave (which haven't hit the market just yet, but will soon). "I glossed lips with Afterglow Lip Shine in Triple X for that 'emerged from the ocean feel,' keeping the skin fresh and luminous with Light Reflecting Foundation." Note to self: pick up a lot more lip gloss options to add to my collection.
