Kim Shui FW26 Beauty

Kim Shui FW26 Beauty

Kim Shui FW26 plants its beauty flag firmly in a tension between theatrical East Asian aesthetic references and raw, almost undone Western glamour, filtered through a distinctly downtown New York lens. For makeup artists and creative teams, this collection delivers a replicable but layered framework built around white-base eyes, saturated blush, and dark lacquered lips that reads across multiple skin tones without losing its point of view.

Skin

The base runs consistently dewy to glazed across the full cast, with a wet-skin finish that reads like skincare rather than foundation. Coverage sits at medium to light, with visible skin texture left intentional and pores unretouched. Several models, particularly in Photos 11, 15, and 17, carry a slightly luminous inner-face highlight that amplifies the porcelain-doll read without tipping into frost.
