Yuima Nakazato Haute Couture FW26 Beauty
Yuima Nakazato FW26 Beauty
Nakazato's FW26 beauty splits cleanly into two distinct tribal codes: a graphic brick-red face paint worn by the darker-skinned models, and an oversized circular blush mask covering the upper face of the lighter-skinned models. Both are rooted in ritual marking rather than conventional cosmetic application. For makeup artists and creative teams, this serves as a direct reference point for art-directed face painting as identity signifier, not decoration.

Skin
Skin across the entire show reads bare and largely unfinished. No visible foundation evening or coverage work appears on any model. Each face functions as a raw canvas, which makes the applied pigment read as deliberate mark-making against an unmanipulated ground.
