I love a good cat eye. It feels retro, feminine and graphic all at the same time. So imagine my excitement when I arrived backstage at Dior and saw dozens of models with bold cat eyes. #thankyoupeterphilips
After the show, I headed backstage to talk about the look…
What did you talk about with Raf going into this show?
We spoke about a month ago for the first time about the collection, and about 10 days ago I saw the first pieces. We were thinking about doing something with color, but when the outfits came around, there was a lot of black in the collection. Black as a support of color almost. That’s why we did something really pure. A classic eyeliner but with a twist by doing a flick under the eye. It’s kind of hard to do a look like that for a cruise collection, but on the other hand it makes it different. It’s Raf for Dior, so it’s unique. That’s why I thought to do a beautiful pure face with just an eyeliner.
Did you think a little about the location when you were deciding on the look?
We are showing in Brooklyn, but the view you have is of New York. That’s why I wanted something strong, something controlled, because it’s a city. We really wanted to focus on the eyes.The girls come out in a movement of color, in a sterile room with this amazing view, It’s strict and in control.
Who is the New York Dior Girl?
I think she is a bit more controlled. Thats maybe why we didn’t really use color. It’s all about neutrals, shaping, and contouring. It’s strong, graphic almost.
Now you want to do it too, right? Here are my tips, based on my very careful observations (and Peter’s instructions) : Keep your face clean and focus on the eyes. Apply black liner on top and bottom, and line the lower lash line with white liner, to make eyes pop. Peter applied black eyeshadow on top of the liquid liner on the upper lash line, to make the look more matte and to help set the liner. Want to go really bold? Bust out those falsies and a few swipes of black mascara.

Moi aussi j’adore les yeux de biches !! J’ai les yeux en amande, donc en général j’insiste plus sur les cils du bas lorsque je me maquille les yeux, mais ce maquillage est superbe et du coup c’est un bon compromis entre “juste la virgule” et le khôl sous l’oeil… J’apprécie vraiment que les make up soient de plus en plus light, on voit de nouveau les pores (boouuhh oui les pores, bah quoi c’est de la peau !) et c’est sans effet-photoshop-qui-floute que le teint est mis en valeur, avec ses imperfections…ce naturel fait beaucoup de bien. Merci Alex !

Ah les yeux de biche… C’est l’effet qu’on recherche toutes lorsqu’on met du mascara ! Le pari a l’air plutôt bien tenu avec ce make up, merci Dior !
Super makeup! I wish I know how to do it on myself!!
Love, Gap.

“We are showing in Brooklyn, but the view you have is of New York.”
Alright, this is a pet peeve. There are five boroughs. FIVE. You may call Manhattan “the city” as native outer-boroughers have a tendency to do. But no, you were looking at the same city you were standing in from Brooklyn. Brooklyn is New York. It’s probably more New York than Manhattan is these days, actually.
Stunning! xx
J’adore ce maquillage! Minimaliste et affirmé, je valide!

Model’s name please ?
J’ai beau me concentrer je n’arrive pas à me faire des yeux très travaillés. Pourtant j’aimerai bien mais ça finit toujours en œil de panda :-)
Parfait pour une soirée ou un souper en amoureux :-) j’adore l’idée de liner clair au ras des cils de la paupière infiérieure.

C’est très beau. La mannequin a un très joli regard avec ce make up. J’aimerais pouvoir me faire les yeux comme ça mais je n’ai jamais le même rendu ! :-(
Ce n’est pas faute d’avoir eu les plus beaux maquillages sur ma peau (étant mannequin moi-même) mais impossible de faire aussi bien que les professionnels.
J’en profite pour te dire, Garance, que je suis admirative de ton parcours et que j’adore ta façon d’écrire.
Je viens de sortir un livre “Devenir Mannequin” (édition Kero) qui donne plein de conseils pratiques pour les filles ! Tu peux le feuilleter sur le site editionskero.com si tu souhaites.
Je serais ravie de te rencontrer.

Oh, très, très joli!! Je suis grand fan d’eyeliner! Je vais reconstruer ce look demain ! Merci pour l’inspiration :)
C’est sublime!

But what is that eyeliner?!
Whenever I try to do a sly under-eye line, it always ends up running or smudging by the end of the night.
I’m definitely an eyeliner girl – having it on just makes me feel so much more ‘together’.
This look will be next on the list to try!

J’adore l’idée de l’eye-liner blanc ! Auriez-vous une idée d’où je pourrais en trouver qui donne un rendu aussi classe ? J’ai acheté il y a quelques temps un crayon blanc à mettre au ras des cils inférieurs mais le résultat n’est pas du tout le même…
There’s something egyptian about it, but I love it!

C’est ce qu’on appelle un regard de biche non ? Très réussi, bravo ! :)
