Classic Beauties
The beauty look at Victoria Beckham’s Spring 2017 show was all about beautiful, flawless skin, thanks to makeup guru Pat McGrath, and sultry, minimalist eyeshadow, courtesy of the designer’s new limited-edition collaboration with Estée Lauder. The shiny hair courtesy of Guido Palau was just as nice.

Do It Yourself
At Rodarte, manicurist Tracylee traced the cuticle edge with glitter polish for a fresh take of negative space that was both grown-up and feminine; makeup artist James Kaliardos created a barely-there, radiant makeup look, and hairstylist Odile Gilbert left the hair messy and natural. All of that added up to an appealing take on DIY. “Everyone always asks if they can get these looks at home,” Gilbert said. “This one, you can!”

Oscar-Worthy Glamour
Makeup artist Tom Pecheux’s sublime take on glamour at Brandon Maxwell’s Spring 2017 show took form in the splash of gold pigment along the models’ cheeks and temples, which had a thin veil of foundation on top.

A Nod to Mod
At Boss, most of the models had their hair pulled into tight, messy ponytails by hairstylist Guido Palau. Model Lineisy Montero’s afro, however, got an extra circular boost and was the standout look of the show.
