Saint Laurent
At Saint Laurent, YSL Global Beauty Director Tom Pecheux made a case for working with eye makeup that got smudged mid-night out. The models' eyeliner was hapazzardly dashed on across their lids, or smeared on like a slick of greasy paint.

Aalto
The makeup at Aalto was all about the smoky eye—hold the shadow. Black liner was used on the inner and outer corners of both lash lines and smoked out, with a pearlescent pink shade drawn on in the middle. Slicked-back hair completed the show's edgy look.

Maison Margiela
Leave it to makeup legend Pat McGrath to create a set of arts and crafts looks that will keep us talking for months to come. At Margiela, McGrath created negative space, technicolor, winged eye makeup on half of the models, while the other half wore matte white wings that went above the eyelids, along with the shade applied to their lips in brushstrokes.
And unsurprisingly, the hair by stylist Eugene Souleiman also stood out. One set of models had plaits woven with rainbow thread braided randomly throughout their heads, while others had pieces of metal and actual handbags worked into their styles.

A fresh-faced no-makeup makeup look was just as goregeous as Lanvin's collection.

Paskal
Paskal's beauty look is truly for the low-maintenance, lazy girls out there. The models' natural hair textures were embraced, and the makeup was kept minimal save for a swipe of berry lipstick.

Chloe
It may only be rock and roll, but the Chloe girl likes it. Models' eyes were rimmed with liner around the entire lid, and the color drawn outward into a tiny flick. A layer of gloss was applied on top for a bit of edgy glamour.

Members of Balmain's Army's lips (including Kendall Jenner) were given the heavy metal treatment by makeup artist Tom Pecheux with shiny jewelry. A black and metallic eye and a triple-braided pony rounded out the look.

Dior
The vibe at Dior was emphatically free and moden so Dior Makeup Creative and Image Director Peter Philips kept the makeup fresh and minimal. Hairstylist Guido Palau kept the models' hair natural and flowing—the perfect accessory for leather berets.

Valentino
Makeup legend Pat McGrath gave one half of the Valentino girls a monochromatic reverse red eyeliner with a matching lip, and the other a no-makeup makeup look, save for rimming the eyes with a thin line of black liner and a highlight on the inner-corners. As for the hair, Guido Palau help the look elegant with loose waves and added two micro braids on each side of the temple for a boho touch.

Mugler
A collection inspired by the star shape of the fashion house's iconic Angel fragrance calls for equally deconstructed eye makeup. Models wore negative space liner that ran from the eye lid up to the brow bone. A complexion with an otherworldy glow and a sculpted, side-parted, updo completed the look.

Fenty x Puma
Bad gal beauty class was in session at Fenty x Puma, and Pat McGrath was the professor. The legendary makeup artist gave the models four different school-inspired makeup looks that went with creative director Rihanna's theme for the season. Some models rocked shimmery orange shadow and exaggerated lower lashes that art kids would love, while others wore top knots and glasses as a nod to preppy style.

Chanel
At Chanel, models were transformed into otherworldy Barbarellas on a ski trip. Hair master Sam McKnight created extra voluminous bouffants that were paired with metallic and knit headbands that wouldn't look too out of place on the slopes. Makeup artist Tom Pecheux coated their eyes with metallic shadows and swipes of floating black liner, and exaggerated lower lashes.

Alexander McQueen
The long, waist-grazing hair you've seen on Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez recently, got an editorial makeover at Alexander McQueen. Long hair was tied into the loose ponytails with two front pieces left out. Said pieces were tied into their own loose tails that hung down the models' chests.
