With both the New York and London fashion weeks behind us, it’s time to turn our attention to the Italian fashion capital, Milan. With a gamut of inspiration that included fierce winged liner looks at Versace, shaggy updos at Giorgio Armani and ‘60s-inspired lashes at Prada, the runways of Milan showed both hair and makeup trends you’ll want to copy in real life, as well as a few looks best admired from afar. Keep scrolling to see our favourite looks from the Milan Fashion Week SS19 shows.

Missoni

While we tend to reach for gold and silver shadows as an inner corner highlight, Missoni showed us that an icy blue hue works just as well. To ensure the eyeshadow was the star of the beauty look, the base makeup was kept minimal and hair was slicked back behind the models’ shoulders.

Giorgio Armani

This year, the team at Giorgio Armani opted for a romantic and ethereal beauty look. Undone updos and soft pink eye makeup were paired with a natural, nude lip. We couldn’t get enough of this look!

Moschino

While Gigi Hadid in a wedding gown followed by a trail of butterflies was undoubtedly the highlight of the Moschino show, we also fell in love with the makeup. The eye look was kept natural, which allowed Gigi’s (and all the other models’) bronzed skin and dark brown lips to do all the talking.

Versace

While the hair look at Versace echoed that of the Missoni show (trend alert!), the eye look couldn’t have been more different. We’re loving the metallic blue-green liner that perfectly complemented the striking Versace clothes.

Fendi

There’s nothing we love more than seeing a runway beauty look that we can recreate (fairly) easily in the comfort of our own homes. That’s why we fell in love with this high bun at Fendi that let each models’ baby hairs hang loose.

Dolce and Gabbana

Dolce and Gabbana never do anything by halves and this year’s Milan show was no different. Dramatic floral head pieces and crowns were paired with black winged liner and a statement red lip – now that’s how you do fashion week beauty!

Prada

Twiggy was a fashion and beauty icon from the ‘60s, and if the Prada show is anything to go by, her signature lash look is making a comeback. Hair was styled into cute pixie styles (also very Twiggy), and while base and lip makeup were kept minimal, each model sported a dramatic set of false lashes on both their top and bottom lash lines for maximum impact.
