The best of haute couture beauty: day three

From dramatic hairstyles to glittery eye makeup, day three of the Spring/Summer haute couture fashion shows had some inspirational beauty looks to serve up in Paris on Wednesday.

Jean Paul Gaultier
Elaborate wigs cut into pudding-bowl shapes, floating liner and lacquered black lipstick made for an arresting look at Jean Paul Gaultier.

Elie Saab
Floating eyeshadow was given a soft makeover with shimmering metallics at Elie Saab, paired with spiky lashes and a natural lip.

Viktor & Rolf
Abstract-loving fashion duo Viktor & Rolf took the ‘glitter eye' trend to a whole new level, creating a blocky, sparkly look that contrasted with matte skin and a swipe of simple coral lipstick.

Zuhair Murad
Metallic eyeshadow in feathery shapes offered an ethereal take on springtime makeup at Zuhair Murad -- an effect that was bolstered by a dab of under-eye shimmer and a sweep of blush.

Guo Pei
Sculpted, abstract hair styles were the beauty focus at Guo Pei, where the models had their lock interwoven with metallic accessories. Graphic, swirling eyeshadow added to the fairytale-like effect.
