Strong, powerful eyeshadow

Prabal Gurung’s autumn/winter 2017 collection was inspired by the women’s rights movement. The models were styled to look “really strong and powerful”, without “conventionally beautiful make-up”. This meant angled slashes of bright colour like a little Matisse cutout in green, red, orange and blue, extending below the brow, a little bit space age, a little bit punk. It’s literally an independent streak.
