10 most unfortunate catwalk make-ups for top models

A fashion show is a show where the main characters are not the top models, but the things they show. That is why so often you can see on luxurious catwalk divas clothes that do not decorate them at all, and makeup, which creates a rather repulsive impression. The model’s task is to convey the designer’s creative idea, and not at all her own beauty. Really frightening images in the process of such interaction are not obtained so often, because in the ranks of top models there are usually girls with a universal appearance, which is very difficult to spoil. But, as it turns out, anything is possible.

In the face Kay Gerber there is one important accent that “collects” all her features and makes them sharper – the eyebrows. If they are not emphasized, as it was done in the framework of the Pada Autumn / Winter 2019 collection show, the girl begins to look somehow “like an orphan”. Of course, it’s hard to imagine that there is a woman in the world who will look great without eyebrows, but for Kaya, who has so much space on her face, this is a complete beauty disaster.

True, it must be said what to spoil Kayu Gerber not only missing eyebrows, but also those present following a global lack of sleep – bags under the eyes. That the girl does not get enough sleep is quite obvious, because today she is one of the most demanded top models and takes part in a huge number of shows. But why emphasize this fact with a highlighter? The answer is simple: then, that makeup artists have a certain scheme of the approved make-up, and they make no exceptions.

Gigi Hadid She was often criticized for her appearance – weight jumps and regularly appearing puffiness, until she made a confession that explained everything to everyone. It turned out that the top model suffers from a disease associated with dysfunction of the thyroid gland. Apparently, the regularly appearing swelling of the eyelids is also a consequence of this problem. Alas, in the case of Gigi, no matter how highly paid model she is, the make-up rules of the catwalk work strictly. If at the Off-White Spring / Summer 2020 show, it was decided to give the faces of the models a greasy shine, and put pink shadows on the eyelids, then no one will be touched by the fact that Gigi Hadid looks scary with this make-up.

Bags under the eyes are a typical problem for top models, who regularly have a lack of sleep and overtime. Worst of all, when makeup not only does not hide these unpleasant beauty circumstances, but also “highlights” them. Highlighter and accent eye makeup can contribute to this. If at the Oscar de la Renta Spring / Summer 2019 show Belle Hadid we made shading arrows as an exception from the general make-up strategy, everything would not look so scary. But, alas, no one did this, so we see a sick and tired Bella.

Not only Kaia Gerber loses some of her natural charm, losing her eyebrows. This also happens with Alessandro Ambrossio… Moreover, with her looks, the makeup that retouches the eyebrow line makes things even scarier. You probably noticed that there is a feeling that the top model’s eyes are slightly squinting. The trick is that the eyebrows, which go apart, are spread apart and the eyes, which by nature clearly tend to the center. Of course, the makeup artists of the Givenchy Fall / Winter 2014/15 show did not set themselves the task of exposing the natural nuances of Alessandra’s face, but they did not veil them either. And the point here is not in harm, but in the fact that the resulting “alien” species was fully included in their plans.

What can bad sculpting do to a beautiful woman’s face? Have Miranda Kerr the features are very cute but not perfect. In particular, there are nuances in the shape of the nose, which can look different depending on the play of light and shadow. This game is ensured by the imposition of special cosmetics that lighten and darken certain areas. Obviously, the sculpting product was applied to Miranda’s face for the Rykiel Fall / Winter 2014/15 show as she took it. Especially in the area of ​​the nose, which began to look like it was hewn out of stone. But in life, Miranda’s nose has a cute soft line.

Cara Delevingne not afraid of experimenting with appearance. Perhaps precisely because her features can endure a lot. But don’t underestimate how weird design fantasies can be. For example, at the Giles Fall / Winter 2013/14 show, Kara drew such huge bruises under the eyes that there was a very real feeling that the top model was not only starved, but also beaten.

Georgia May Jagger belongs to the category of models with a non-standard appearance, and therefore her creative make-up ideas go sideways very often. Georgia’s appearance needs a competent correction, a balance in the lines and the correct placement of accents. When these points are not followed, the top model’s face, which may very well look sensual, instantly coarsens. This is exactly what happened at the Ashley Williams Autumn / Winter 2015 show. If we consider the image of Georgia as an art object, there are no complaints – the idea is clearly readable. If you look at her as a beautiful woman, the level of enthusiasm instantly drops.

In the nomination “The largest bags under the eyes” wins Lily Donaldson. She showed them to the world at the Dsquared2 Autumn / Winter 2015 show. A light nude makeup, whose task was not to correct imperfections, played a cruel joke on the top model. For this type of make-up, the skin should be in perfect condition – without pimples, bruises, etc. Otherwise, cosmetics do not improve the face, but only sharpens the imperfections.
