Bibhu Mohapatra Mix two trends in one, thicking the cat-eye with pop touches, while Rick Owens uses graphisms. But not only.

6. Lightness effect skin

This is not even the winter that establishes the return of stratifications or excesses from contouring. Once again it is lightness The most suitable term to describe the incarnati, now devoted to one naturalness which translates with meticulous cure of the skin and a feather effect base that keeps the risk of cakey face. The almost obsessive search for Glass Skin Perfect gives way to the most conscious acceptance of a minimal skin, naturally luminousenhanced by satin finishs that elegantly enhance its parmesan, or Glowy effects, provided that without abuse. For lovers of the genre, go ahead also to the old Mat effects, dusted off under the clouds of powder, but to be calibrated with care. The skin, in all its beauty, is the undisputed protagonist.

You see Victoria Beckhamwhich brings uniform embodied to the catwalk, or Carolina Herrera, That makes his sophisticated look shine, declaredly for the day, with slight GLOWY effects. And then Ermanno Scervino, who makes light and impalpable bases his signature, together with Max Mara and his almost porcelain faces, heated only by a veil of blush.
