It’s not only the fashion that caught the eye at the four biggest spring/summer 2026 ready-to-wear shows – New York, London, Milan and Paris. The hair and make-up too had plenty to offer style watchers, from bubblegum-pink lips and multicoloured mascara to ultra-clean, minimalist looks and more.
Dior

For his first womenswear show under the creative direction of Jonathan Anderson, Peter Philips, creative and image director of Dior make-up, created a natural spring flush to celebrate the Northern Irish designer’s new era at the storied fashion house. For a luminous finish, Philips used a handful of products including the Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter (103 Toffee) and recently launched Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick in two shades – 006 Berry and 012 Rosewood.
Chloé

Chloé partnered with Saie Beauty and Mexican-American make-up artist Yadim Carranza to create three distinct beauty looks for the brand’s spring/summer show in Paris. Models were seen rocking unexpected but fun bubblegum-pink lips, achieved using Saie Beauty’s blendable liquid cheek formula, Dew Blush, in Baby.
Simone Rocha

Make-up artist Thomas de Kluyver created playful lip art for Simone Rocha’s spring 2026 show during London Fashion Week. Some of the models graced the runway with glossy lips adorned with a flower design or the phrase “sweet dream” pressed onto their pouts. The lip look complemented the romantic vibes of the collection, which consisted of sparkly headbands, pillow-shaped bags and oversized satin florals.
Thom Browne

The runway stars at Thom Browne, clad in playful iterations of the New York-based designer’s signature preppy tailoring for spring/summer 2026, were topped off with bold feather lashes in hues ranging from red and silver to turquoise. Courtesy of British make-up artist Isamaya Ffrench, the extravagant details nicely balanced the models’ severe hair and played into the collection’s extraterrestrial staging.
Louis Vuitton

Some models at the Louis Vuitton runway wore barely there make-up and a knotted front updo, recalling Hollywood glamour of the 1940s. The show, which also featured cosy knit offerings, loose cuts and relaxed loungewear, took place in a section of the Louvre that was, at one point, the summer residence of Anne of Austria, former Queen of France.
Anna Sui

At Anna Sui’s show in New York, Pat McGrath gave the models a frosted eye look, which defined the early 2000s – think shimmery blue and purple eyeshadow accented with sky-blue lashes. The legendary make-up creative used products from her own cosmetics range, including the newly released Holiday 2025 Gilded Nirvana Mega Eye Shadow palette and Mothership I: Subliminal palette.
Fendi

Hairstylist extraordinaire Guido Palau gave the models at Fendi a 90s-inspired side parting with straight hair. The flattering style, which was worn with mismatched pairs of vibrantly coloured earrings, is great for creating volume, and accentuating the cheekbones and jawline.
Chanel

Chanel’s artistic director Matthieu Blazy unveiled his debut collection for the house at the Grand Palais. The French-Belgian designer transformed the historic venue into an entire solar system featuring giant glowing orbs and a star-studded ceiling. Models sported radiant skin that aligned with the cosmic atmosphere and contrasted with the more understated looks.
