Couture is always over the top, and you can’t have a natural makeup look and nude lip paired with some of these crazy confections! The beauty look has to hold its own. Here are some of the most fantastic beauty looks from Paris Couture Week and how to get inspired at home.

Above, Riccardo Tisci (the hottie of the Couture world, I must say) poses with runway ready models before his show. Eyes were airbrushed and smokey and lips were red, red, red. Try Bed Head Girls Just Want It Lipstick in Love, it’s on sale!

Okay, sometimes you will see a nude lip – when all the color’s been painted out of a model’s face and she’s been contoured like crazy for an uber-pale, vampiric look like this one at Elie Saab, right.

More eyes were airbrushed at Valentino, that is when you could see them. Hues like yellow, lavender and bright electric blue were banded like raccoon masks. You probably don’t want to go that far, but you might want to experiment with some bright colors in the Controversy Bed Head Quad Shadow.

Chanel’s shocker came in the way of mile-high hair in a combination Lady Gaga bow and Marie Antoinette pouf. There were even some Tavi-esque steel blue streaks (haven’t you heard the young blogeuse has gone blue-haired old lady??) which both harmonized with the pastel palette and contrasted with the prim fashions, as blue streaks always say something a little punk, non?
