The runway shows saw an assortment of color palettes and diverse shades, but one element remained the same-eyeliner. It may have varied in shape, definition, and tone, but a sharp, winged and graphically pointed line was the sole feature on practically every model that strutted up and down the runway. The overall statement was conveyed through a single line.
First there was a super polished, shimmery eye swept with a darker shade on bottom lid and a lighter shade on the top lid to create a natural yet dramatic look. In a similar vein was Versace’s dimensional shadow. It was a solid line and swept out to elongate the eye and create a dark, seductive stare.
Louis Vuitton had a strong, painted line with an exaggerated cleopatra arc past the end of the eyebrow. Other variations were seen in typically Italian lines. Moving on from the stylish echoes of old school elegance, other artists used color and texture for a more futuristic feel. At Paul Smith a neon pink line covered the entire top lid and at the Alessandro Dell’Acqua hard graphic stripes were topped with gloss to create a deconstructed look. Whether you’re channeling the Italian icon, feline seductress or ultra modern fashionista, be sure to draw a line.
