Story summary

The latest European fashion runways have concluded, signaling a shift away from minimalistic "clean beauty" trends towards maximalist styles. In Milan, Gucci showcased a redefined smoky eye with intense black and smudged effects, while Prada displayed over-the-top backcombed hairstyles for wild volume and texture. Max Mara presented warm blush on cheeks to create a natural summer glow. Across the pond in New York, Marc Jacobs featured bold eyeliner in navy blue and emerald green against nearly nude faces. In Paris at Dior, Peter Philips used subtle silver eye makeup that was only noticeable when models blinked. At Dries Van Noten, lips were painted with top red and bottom pink for a playful look.
