Niccolo Pasqualetti FW26 Beauty

Pasqualetti built this beauty brief around two distinct codes: an extreme luminous void on the lighter-skinned models and a cool iridescent intensity on the deeper-skinned models. Both directions share the same commitment to undone texture and near-zero color saturation. For makeup artists and beauty product teams, this offers a precise reference for splitting a single show's cast into two complementary but technically separate skin treatments without fracturing the overall aesthetic.

Skin

Across the lighter-skinned models (Photos 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13), the base reads as sheer-to-medium coverage foundation with a slightly washed, diffused finish. Slightly damp but not wet, as though skin was heavily prepped and then foundation was patted on with minimal blending tool pressure. The deeper-skinned models (Photos 1, 3, 9) tell a different story entirely: the skin reads as very high-shine, almost lacquered glaze, with what appears to be densely applied luminizing product concentrated across the cheekbones, nose bridge, and brow bone. The result is an almost reflective surface. No visible concealer layering, no baking, no powder matte finish anywhere in the lineup.
