Fashion Month is a hallowed holiday for fashion and beauty lovers everywhere. It's a time when our favorite designers unveil new collections, legendary makeup artists create museum-worthy art on models' faces (like Pat McGrath's history-making makeup for Maison Margiela), and, of course, stylish attendees redefine street style with their innovative ensembles. This year's Paris Fashion Week is already rife with beauty inspiration in particular: Models and attendees alike are championing recent beauty fads like baby braids and ombré lips, and others are bringing new trends into the fold, like voluminous hair and bleached brows. Overall, the verdict among attendees seems to be that minimalism is out and maximalism—with all its bold colors, shimmering glitter, and blunt edges—is here to stay.
Ahead, the beauty moments at Paris Fashion Week that'll inspire you to go bold this season.
