Make-up trend: Fabric applique lashes

Forget false lashes and say hello to fabric appliques! Models on the Chanel Couture Spring 2013 runway had their eyes decorated with custom fabric cut-outs. They were made from the same fabric used in the headpieces, two different snowflake-shaped pieces were affixed around the outer corner of the eye to enhance the otherwise all-black makeup. The result was fluttering, feathered looking lashes that were a huge hit!

As for the non-arts and crafts portion of the beauty look at Chanel, Peter Philips began by prepping the skin with Hydra Beauty Serum. Eyes were lined with Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof liner in “Noir Intense” and throughly covered with Stylo Eyeshadow in “Black Stream” (a new shade due out this summer).

But it’s the cheek colour that stands out almost as much as the decorated eyes—after all, a healthy glow helps balance even the darkest makeup. Phillips used Joues Contraste blush in “Frivole” and lips were panted a similar petal-pink shade, Chanel Rouge Allure in “Fantasque.” (Both the blush and lipstick are part of the Chanel spring 2013 makeup collection.) And, because it isn’t a Chanel show without an exciting new nail colour to look forward to, you’ll be delighted to know that models’ fingers were painted in a pale-coral shade (which is currently on counters!) called “Emprise.”

Would you wear fabric or lace on your eyelids?
