Diamonds are a girl’s best friend – after seeing makeup artist Loni Baurs glimmering eye makeup at the Kaviar Gauche défilée in Paris, this message, once sung by Marilyn Monroe, feels revived.
The beauty look created by Loni Baur for Catrice cosmetics evokes a longing for gems and is a proof jewels are not for hands only. And while Marilyn was more referring to gifts given by men, Loni Baur was presenting a self assured sparkle, effortlessly dusted around the eyes, playful, romantic, but not forced to perfection.
A cool romantic look, perfectly presented at the Hôtel Le Marois, a classic Parisian, Hausmann mansion with a lush 18th century interior. Inbetween opulent artworks and crystal chandeliers, the makeup could shine to its fullest.
While the collection is communicated as wedding wear, the glimmering dresses and strong satin pieces don’t need a chapel nor marriage moment – only a character to wear them and create their very own moment of love.
Be it with yourself only.
We took our Polaroid Originals camera backstage to capture the magical moments before the show.
