"The makeup is a modern take on a 1930s Greta Garbo. We have silver all over the eye; a matte face, powdered; and then a contour underneath the cheek."
Charlotte Tilbury at Zac Posen




Alexander McQueen wanted all the girls to look ghostly, with whitish, pale skin. We're mixing normal foundation with a white base. It's all over the face, behind the ears, on the back of the neck, and ends in long brush strokes as if it were a mask, in a half-deadly, half-dreamy kind of way."

"The models look like really beautiful, fresh young girls, but they have major gold and silver on their eyes, so it's a strong—like a cyber-y—android eye."
James Kaliardos at Chanel

"The makeup for this collection is based around browns and golds. For a beautiful, blended eye we're using a slight amount of metallic color on the center of the lids. The skin is really healthy and fresh, with a beautiful blush. For the lips we're using a little light lip gloss in a peach-pink color."
Pat McGrath at Versace
