The models at Chanel sported smoky eyes with drawn-on lashes to recall the texture of a black ribbon. The dainty accessory was the collection's central motif, having appeared throughout the enormous set and on everything from bags and jackets to the models' hair. Products used to achieve this feathered look include the Le Volume de Chanel mascara, Stylo Yeux Waterproof kohl pencil (88 Noir Intense) and Signature de Chanel eyeliner pen (10 Noir).

Dame Pat McGrath, who was recently announced as the creative director of La Beauté
Louis Vuitton – the maison's first ever cosmetics range – was the genius behind the striking make-up looks on the French label's runway. For instance, one model's face was adorned with a bold red lip and kabuki-inspired face paint in vibrant hues. We'd expect nothing less.

Beautifully bronzed cheeks were on the agenda at the Saint Laurent show, which took place in a panel-filled structure just below the Eiffel Tower. Models such as Bella Hadid flaunted a sun-kissed glow, complementing the rich jewel tones and extreme colour-blocking on the catwalk. The contrasting hues were favoured by the fashion house's namesake founder back in the day.

4 times Pat McGrath's creative make-up wowed on the runway
Pat McGrath's visionary artistry has redefined beauty on the runway over the years, from the striking blue body paint for Schiaparelli's autumn/winter 2023 haute couture show to the bold kabuki-inspired faces at Louis Vuitton's autumn/winter 2025. In between, there was also the internet-exploding doll-like, glass skin finish for the Maison Margiela spring/summer 2024 runway, while back in 2019, McGrath made up models with shimmering silver faces and bold red lips at Valentino's haute couture show, a look that has since become legendary.

The colour was a homage to Yves Klein Blue, the shade invented and patented by the French artist of the same name. Louis Vuitton Louis Vuitton autumn/winter 2025.

She achieved the reflective, doll-like finish with the use of sheet masks, distilled water and a special effects glue.

Beauty legend Pat McGrath on developing Louis Vuitton's first make-up range
When Louis Vuitton announced the launch of its first make-up range earlier this year, it came as little surprise that the mastermind behind it would be Pat McGrath. The British make-up artist has created some of the most striking beauty looks of the last three decades and has been collaborating with the French house for more than 20 years. Her work for brands ranging from Maison Margiela and Schiaparelli to Miu Miu, as well as for Louis Vuitton, is just as influential as the clothes walking those runways. Advertisement McGrath – who 10 years ago established her own make-up line, Pat McGrath Labs – has a long history with Nicolas Ghesquière, women's artistic director of Louis Vuitton, having created the make-up for his shows since he presented his first collection in 2014.

Photo: Handout Their collaboration runs the gamut from barely there nudes to bold colours inspired by kabuki theatre, McGrath shared at a hush-hush preview of her La Beauté Louis Vuitton collection during the haute couture shows in July in Paris. 'It's a relationship built on friendship, and we love to create characters together,' says McGrath. 'With the line, I had complete freedom to do whatever I wanted, and that was a lot of fun. But again, as you can see from the shows – whether we're doing dramatic, pointed gothic lips or the David Bowie faces of last season, and then in Avignon, that nod to medieval but with a bit of glam rock – it's always a lot of fun.' Translating those adventurous looks into products that would appeal to a broad range of audiences was paramount to McGrath, who chose two categories: lips and eyes. As she explained in Paris and in a follow-up video interview, this is not just any make-up launch. La Beauté Louis Vuitton is a whole universe that also highlights the house's heritage as a trunk maker and a company steeped in travel. Louis Vuitton has created leather goods and accessories for the products in its first make-up range. Photo: Handout While this is far from the first time a top luxury maison has made forays into beauty, Louis Vuitton went further than most, creating a series of leather goods and accessories – including a made-to-order trunk that is basically a travelling glam room – to accompany the products.
