The Dior Fall/Winter 2010 haute couture collection was completed with Pat McGrath's amazing color block makeup. Inspired by Galliano's dalliance with flora and fauna, McGrath clashed unexpected mismatched colors, resulting in a contemporary aesthetic that rendered couture beauty influential for the everyday.
Vibrant, vivid shades of red and azure blue were clashed with hints of yellow and orange in dramtic rectangular shapes across the eyes. Dramatic curling lashes and dark plum lips completed the look, a nod to old-school elegance.
