We’re well in the midst of March, which means the curtain has come down over all fall/winter 2022 presentations across London, New York, Milan and Paris. In the relative calm that has descended, it seems like an apt time as any to fully process the slew of garments, messaging and themes that have emerged from the shows; a debrief, if you will, on the detailing and intricacies behind each production. And while it’s fair to assume that many will be turning angling their focus onto the fashion aspect, there’s a lot to be said, too, about the fall/winter 2022 beauty trends that have arisen—and are sure to have a ripple effect on the hair, make-up and nail sphere in the months to come.
Granted, this was expected seeing how the season saw the return of physical presentations amongst industry heavyweights and emerging new designers alike. With it, a renewed emphasis on theatricality and flair which shined through multiple facets in the vein of set production—see Balenciaga’s immersive blizzard-ravaged dome—as well as in the make-up looks. Notable instances of fall/winter 2022 beauty trends that were borne stem from Shayne Oliver commissioning Pat McGrath to transform his model’s miens into living bouquets for New York Fashion Week, as well as Peter Philip’s interpretation of women who could have walked right out of a historical portrait, à la Girl with a Pearl Earring.
All in all, this led to what was arguably the most exciting Fashion Month in a long time, brimming with optimism and grandeur that had been previously wicked away thanks to the arrival of COVID-19. Bearing this in mind, Vogue Singapore invites you to recount and reminiscence over the most stunning fall/winter 2022 beauty trends that have cropped up, ranging from the easily emulated to masterpieces requiring tips and expertise from make-up maestros. Witness it all, below.

Supriya Lele: Blue eye make-up
The hue was slicked onto lashes, dusted over eyelids, and weaved in unique shapes all over the face. Icy, electric variants of the shade were preferred, where they popped against radiant complexions—as spotted at Supriya Lele.

NoSessio: Statement claws
Call it the Euphoria effect, or perhaps it has to do with the resurgence of Y2K-inspired looks. Either way, extended talons harbouring intricate prints and bold hues were at the forefront of several shows, most notably at NoSesso.

Shayne Oliver: Copper tones
They were applied as on lids and layered in hints of orange at Shayne Oliver, while other fashion houses preferred to restrict the shade by the inner corners.

Simone Rocha: Facial adornments
Jewels, rhinestones and appliqués are all fair game. The only requirement? Go ham in terms of placement and variety, as seen at Simone Rocha.

Valentino: Dampened strands
The key tenets to this trend are glistening, smooth and with a tinge of sheen that suggests you’ve just emerged from the shower. Valentino’s rendition isn’t limited to just the roots—but rather, extends all the way down to the ends.
