10 Couture Week Beauty Trends That Have Me Excited For Spring

It feels like we just finished unpacking our bags from Fall/Winter 2020's fashion month festivities — but alas, here we are on the onset of a brand new season, starting with Couture Week. To accompany the head-turning sculptures of fabric that graced the runway, Spring 2020 Couture Week's best beauty moments are following suit in the form of flamboyant eye looks, dramatic hair molds, and lip looks that scream "look at me."

And as any fashionista knows, Couture Week isn't the time for no makeup-makeup and simple blowouts or messy buns. Though the hairstyles are proving more demure this year, with sleek flips at RVDK and low buns at Chanel reigning supreme, moments like the bright sweeps of eyeshadow at Jean Paul Gaultier and mesmerizing lips at Alexis Mabille are proof that drama on the couture runways is still alive as ever.

So, ahead, check out the most standout beauty moments of one of fashion's most exclusive jubilees that will leave you on the hunt for shimmers and pastels for your makeup stash.

Spring 2020 Couture Week Beauty Trend: Sweeping Jewels At Schiaparelli

"There was one incredible look where I brought the jewels from the dress onto the face, neck, chest, and arms," Parson told Allure. "As if the dress had become a part of the skin. It was stunning! All was Daniel’s vision — he is a genius."
