Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013 beauty: Chanel (Photos)

Leave it to Haute Couture legend Karl Lagerfeld to create an elaborate story of Gothic influence hit with a punch of romantic delicacy.

Aside from a political reference to Lagerfeld’s support of same sex marriage, a focal point of impactful head to toe styling made the fashion and beauty even more thrilling to see. Bold makeup and hair styling captured a beauty look that branched out from the ‘no makeup-makeup’ continuously being featured in the last few seasons. Iconic Chanel black and white, a combination notoriously used at the esteemed fashion house, was reflected in both the clothing and beauty.

Selecting over-sized hair pieces and severe graphic black eye liner, the blend of hard and soft balanced with a swipe of iridescent pink lipstick. The opacity of the rich black rimmed eyes paired with a cloud of deep black shadow demanded a matte complexion with no facial contouring. Lush black feathers created a theatrical wide eyed affect only appropriate for the elaborate collection.

Bold makeup lovers, will you try the Goth/Romantic beauty look this spring?
