Behind the scenes at the autumn-winter 2021 runway shows in Milan, dramatic, statement-making beauty looks were pared down to focus on key features
While so many of the beauty looks on the London Fashion Week autumn-winter 2021 runways focused on the eyes, Milan Fashion Week makeup spotlighted a range of facial features, albeit one at a time. From bold, red, overlined lips to pale smoky eyeshadows, the overall trend for next season is about focus—choosing a favourite part of the face, whether that's skin, hair, cheeks, lips, or eyes, and going all-in for an emphatic, memorable, statement effect.
Here are four of our favourite looks from Milan Fashion Week autumn-winter 2021, which just wrapped earlier this week.
Bold, overlined red lips at Sportmax
Bold red lipstick has been a perennial favourite on the runway for decades, and this autumn-winter, the look is all about a creamy, semi-matte finish, feathered edges, and subtle overlining—all the way to the corners of the mouth.
