Milan Fashion Week FW 23/24, deeply black make-up
Another winter is coming noir. It will be due to the current influence of Wednesday Addams, in fact, the charm of a dark beauty mood seems to remain alive even for next season.
The make up of Milan Fashion Week marks the great return of black on the gaze, in intense and creative smokey eyes. Starring from Antonio Marraswhere eyes coated in black from the finish walked the catwalk smudged, deliberately imperfect, in intense contrast with the diaphanous skin like the lips. Signed by the make up artist Maurizio Calabro for Nars, the look black can still be luminous thanks to the wet effect given by a veil of gloss and a touch of silver glitter, applied as a 3D point of light.

Extra dark eyes are also on the catwalk at Roberto Cavalliwith black smoky eyes that however shine, liquids, thanks to a top coat of the gloss of the Clear Lipglass by Mac Cosmetics, vinyl effect on the lids.
The soft smokey seen by are softer N°21 by Alessandro Dell’Acqua, get inspired by the beauty looks of two beauty icons like Jeanne Moreau and Monica Vitti. Designed by makeup artist Karim Rahman for Kiko Milano, the eye make-up surrounds the eye with a shaded black for a shadow effect and lived-in, with a matte finish, like skin, naturally opaque.
The nude of Max Mara, Fendi and Emporio Armani
Nude make-up is now inevitable, which leaves the natural yet smooth, perfect skin as the protagonist.
From Fendi the models parade under a light from which their skin stands out, with a soft, almost creamy texture, thanks to the make-up designed by Peter Philips which hid every imperfection. A micro comma of eyeliner, very light and almost horizontal, is enough to define the eye. Elegantly sharp, almost reminiscent of an arrowhead.
The nude look becomes more creamy and suffused by Max Mara and Alberta Ferreti. The only concession, rosy lips
Shows are also guarantees of natural beauty Alberta Ferretti and Max Mara. On both catwalks, the make-up is almost imperceptible, with skin left (almost) natural, velvety as protagonist. From Emporio Armani a satiny nude look is on the catwalk, with only the detail of a graphic shadow, equally neutral, on the gaze, in the spirit of a «sophisticated minimalism with character, from runway to realway». Is it the return of the soft matte finish, after seasons of lights and highlighters?
Even the lips have a naturally chic mood: at Alberta Ferretti they are natural and slightly glossed, at Max Mara, pink and soft, at Emporio Armani, petal pink, just dabbed with lipstick.
A few flashes of colour. From Prada. And not only
See the world a little more in colour. As Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have said: «Beauty is not determined by aesthetics but by action. And the clothes are symbols, representations of the beauty of taking care of yourself, of love and also of reality». And it is with this inspiration that im was bornake up look from the show, a trucco essential and minimal but femininewhich makes you see the world through a multitude of colors.
Pink, blue, white but also yellow and green are the false eyelash shades applied by Pat McGrath on Kendall (Jenner), Gigi (Hadid) and the other models, for a pop of color on an ultra-nude make-up. Every blink of your eyes, dance to the notes of the waltz On the beautiful blue Danube by Strauss.
Still color, even from Preview: eye make-up consists of an extremely graphic line of eyeliner, made up of angles and curves. In electric blue, or in optical white. Instead, thefluorescent orange from Of the Core: powdery and dazzling, it is applied from the middle of the eyelid to the temple in a play of nuances. For a Milan Fashion Week that sees beauty a bit obscure, but also a bit colourful.
