The beauty looks at Milan Fashion Week eschewed the "clean girl aesthetic" in favor of undeniable glamour. The makeup focal point for most shows was either the eyes or the lips—paired with dewy skin, of course—which meant we saw everything from vibrant shadows and berry-painted lips to glossy lids and memorable graphic liner. Ahead, the best six beauty trends from Milan Fashion Week that you’re going to want to recreate as soon as possible.
Dramatic Liner
It’s time to retire the cat-eye—or, at least give it a fresh twist. Take some inspiration from Versace or Etro’s spring/summer collections, and swap out your black liner for a colorful shadow or eyeliner, instead. At Moschino, the cat-eye look reached new heights and was anything but subtle, while at Jil Sander, a graphic square liner framed models’ eyes.

Classic Red Pout
A statement red lip is kind of like a pair of boyfriend jeans or your go-to white T-shirt; you can throw it on and immediately look put together. It’s a makeup look on its own—just swipe on your preferred hue, no foundation required.

Glossy Lids
Take your eyeshadow look up a notch with a glossy sheen atop; buff in a clear gloss over your shadow. You could go for a more neutral look—like the ones seen at Etro and Del Core—or swipe on a bright orange shade, spotted at Blumarine and Prada’s spring/summer collections.

Sharp Middle Parts
Gen-Z was right—middle parts are here to stay. Use a rat-tail comb to create a clean line then style your however you’d please.

Colored Undereye Liner
Why should your top lash line have all the fun? If you're not afraid to play around with color, try swiping some shadow along your lower lash line for a striking makeup look.
