Following on the heels of Milan, Paris Fashion Week offered punchy pastel pigments, smudged along the lower lash line at Victoria Beckham, delivering a fresh and youthful look.

Two-Tone Texture: A combination of wet and dry texture is also a key look from Milan, with sleek oily roots transitioning into airy volumous curls.
