Above The Line

Above-the-crease eyeliner has increased in popularity both on the runways and IRL over the years. This look, done by Georgina Graham for the Paul & Joe show, is an understated take on the look, using floating lines below and above the eye.

1960s Cat Eye

The ’20s wasn’t the only decade that sparked inspiration at London Fashion Week. At the Eudon Choi show, makeup artist Zoe Taylor used Tinker Taylor products to create this “true ’60s flick” on the eyes, with a bare lip.
