Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, Simone Rocha, Anna Sui and Thom Browne shows made an impact with their beauty as well as their fashions

It’s not only the fashion that caught the eye at the four biggest spring/summer 2026 ready-to-wear shows – New York, London, Milan and Paris. The hair and make-up too had plenty to offer style watchers, from bubblegum-pink lips and multicoloured mascara to ultra-clean, minimalist looks and more.

For his first womenswear show under the creative direction of Jonathan Anderson, Peter Philips, creative and image director of Dior make-up, created a natural spring flush to celebrate the Northern Irish designer’s new era at the storied fashion house. For a luminous finish, Philips used a handful of products including the Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter (103 Toffee) and recently launched Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick in two shades – 006 Berry and 012 Rosewood.

Chloé partnered with Saie Beauty and Mexican-American make-up artist Yadim Carranza to create three distinct beauty looks for the brand’s spring/summer show in Paris. Models were seen rocking unexpected but fun bubblegum-pink lips, achieved using Saie Beauty’s blendable liquid cheek formula, Dew Blush, in Baby.

Make-up artist Thomas de Kluyver created playful lip art for Simone Rocha’s spring 2026 show during London Fashion Week. Some of the models graced the runway with glossy lips adorned with a flower design or the phrase “sweet dream” pressed onto their pouts. The lip look complemented the romantic vibes of the collection, which consisted of sparkly headbands, pillow-shaped bags and oversized satin florals.
