Paris Fashion Week came to a close, which means Fashion Month is officially a wrap — and we have tons of beauty looks to cover. The City of Light provided a plethora of no-makeup makeup and cool French-girl hair (because obviously), but some of our favorite looks also included bold eye makeup (see: Dior) that was casually applied with the most unlikely of brushes and the sporty beauty look seen at Stella McCartney. But those are just a few of the très amazing hair and makeup we can’t wait to recreate. Check out all of the standout beauty looks from Paris Fashion Week in the slideshow below.

Giambattista Valli
The focus of the makeup was eyes and makeup artist Val Garland made sure each model's lashes were coated in several coats of mascara for a lived-in, doll-like look.
-
Hermes
This look is an editor favorite from Fashion Month. What's not to love about glowy skin, shiny hair and an intricate yet effortless updo?
-
Dries Van Noten
Makeup artist Peter Philips used a charcoal-colored eyeshadow to sweep across lids starting at the inner corners of the eyes for a soft, smoky effect.
-
Isabel Marant
Models' no-makeup makeup look was perfectly complemented with hair raked back into a casual knot styled by Sam McKnight.
-
Christian Dior
Extremely long and sleek side ponytails by Redken's Guido Palau were paired with dramatically opaque eyeshadow. Makeup pro Peter Philips mixed colors from two eyeshadow palettes from his upcoming collaboration with the fashion house and applied them wet to get the rich pigment using the most unassuming tool — the mini sponge applicator that comes in the palette!
-
Miu Miu
The coquettish ponytails worn by models on this catwalk were inspired by the equally playful prints and bright jewelry.
-
Balmain
Thanks to Sam McKnight — and the inspiration he drew from Michelle Pfeiffer and Lauren Hutton in American Gigolo circa the 70s — models got the most sleek and glammed-out blowouts we've seen in a while.
-
Lanvin
Legendary hair master Julien d'Ys styled a classic plait, which he accessorized with a black grosgrain ribbon modeled after a photo of Brigitte Bardot he came across. Similarly simple were the dark kohl-lined inner eye rims that Pat McGrath painted using black liner.
-
Nina Ricci
Makeup pro Aaron de Mey used a technique we're calling colorless contouring by using highlighter and strategically using a gloss to bring out cheekbones and lids, while going heavy on mascara.
-
Chanel
Models at this show were given a "boy" or "girl" look. Makeup master Tom Pecheux gave models with the "girl" look a graphic cat eye and pink lips, while "boy" models got a heavy dose of slate eyeshadow all over the lids. For hair, Sam McKnight styled "girls" in loose French twists accessorized with ribbons and brooches, and "boys" in slick, gelled ponytails.
-
Stella McCartney
Dewy, radiant skin and sporty ponytails styled by Eugene Souleiman kept the beauty vibe fresh and youthful at Stella McCartney.
-
Anthony Vaccarello
Models were literally starry-eyed with the graphic star-like liner that Tom Pecheux painted on with liquid navy liner. The hair was ultimate cool girl tousled waves.
-
Valentino
The hair was a little bit boho and a little bit romantic, and one of our favorite hairstyles of Fashion Month. Guido Palau took tiny sections from underneath the hair on either side of the head and braided them separately before pinning them and joining them as one. Beyond pretty.
-
Chloe
Makeup artist Lucia Pieroni gave models a healthy flush and rosy lips for a natural look. Eugene Souleiman played up the beauty look by styling hair into soft and easy waves.
-
Valentino
Derek and Hansel's appearance at Valentino was the highlight of Fashion Month and when it came to hair, the male models did not disappoint. Bravo, boys.
