Milan Fashion Week never fails to impress us, as the designers never play it safe on the runway, especially when it comes to beauty looks. We saw tons of looks ranging from natural and simplistic to bold and daring.

Gucci brought us inky mascara tears running down the model’s cheeks, Marni featured metallic glitter and bright hair paint, Mochino had pastel hair poofs, while other designers such as Salvatore Ferragamo and Bottega Veneta’s models had minimal makeup, while Prada and Missoni’s models had classic straight blunt haircuts. These were our favorite looks from Milan’s Fashion week.

Mascara Tears

Gucci’s new Mascara L’Obscur was used in a way we weren’t expecting—as tears. This look is definitely bold, but it’s great for getting a punky, edgy vibe.

Hair Paint

Lil Kim debuted this hairstyle in the ’90s, but it made a comeback on the Pucci runway. The hair is spray-painted with bright colored leaves and block print, which matches perfectly with the collection.

Straight, Blunt Haircuts

After seeing how polished the models looked on the Prada and Missoni runway, we’ll be asking our hairdresser for this face-framing hairstyle. Many of the hairstyles were completed with metal headbands.

Braided Updo

This elegant braided hairstyle seen on the Fendi runway is an ode to Star Wars Princess Leia and pastries like cinnamon buns.

Bold Lips

A pop of color on the lips can complete any outfit, and Fendi’s deep plum and Missoni’s rust brown lips brought us right back to the 90s. On the GCDS runway, we were in awe of the foiled lips in metallic lilac, green, and bubble gum pink lip shades.
