Whatever your thoughts are
about unicorn beauty—that is, all things rainbow, glittery, horned, and
even loosely inspired by the mythical equine creature–at this point, it's pretty hard to deny that it's a Thing.
But maybe you're still thinking it's reserved for the weird and wacky
corners of the internet, and not, say, the Grand Palais in Paris, where
Chanel just wrapped its Fall 2017 haute couture show. The opulent
presentation courtesy of King Karl featured three front-row celebrities
with platinum buzzcuts (Katy Perry, Cara Delevingne, Kristen Stewart), a
scale replica of the Eiffel Tower—and bright, whimsical, multicolored eye makeup that was unmistakable #unicorngoals on every single model.

Makeup artist Tom Pecheux
and his team went full Roy G Biv, smudging a rich cerulean blue below
the lids, then layering a kaleidoscope of vampy lilac, highlighter
orange, and green apple right up to the brow bones. A smudge of glossy
crimson was dabbed along the inner corners of the eyes; some models had a
sprinkle of gold on the outer corners. The rest of the makeup was left
refreshingly simple: Clean, velvet-fresh skin, a whisper of petal pink
blush on cheeks, and if we're not mistaken, natural lips finished with
just the lightest swipe of translucent gloss.
At least this season,
models weren't wearing clothes to match. The fanciful makeup served as a
counterpoint to the otherwise regal collection of tweeds, boucle, and
derby hats done in haute finery.
