Valentino’s fall 2023 haute couture show may have been staged at the grand Château de Chantilly, but the accompanying beauty look was thoroughly understated. Glossy, healthy hair was paired with skin to die for—it glowed in all the right places, thanks to the expert touch of make-up artist Pat McGrath.
“I created a make-up aesthetic that elegantly fuses simplicity and complexity,” she told Vogue after the show. “It offers an understated yet striking approach that’s in perfect harmony with the collection.” Her goal? “To celebrate the unique beauty inherent in each individual, and inclusivity, a sentiment deeply intertwined with the ethos of the collection.”
