Backstage Beauty: Saie Creates the Effortless Glow at Chloé’s Fall/Winter Paris Fashion Week Show

At Paris Fashion Week, beauty often tells a story just as compelling as the fashion itself. For Chloé’s Fall/Winter 2026 runway show, clean beauty brand Saie took center stage backstage, serving as the exclusive makeup partner for the luxury house for the second consecutive season.

The collaboration highlighted a beauty philosophy rooted in natural radiance, effortless skin, and subtle imperfection — a look that perfectly complemented Chloé’s romantic, artisanal collection.

Creative Director Chemena Kamali explored themes of humanity, devotion, and connection in the Fall/Winter collection, drawing inspiration from traditional craftsmanship and folkloric costume. The garments celebrated the beauty of handmade details and the emotional weight clothing can carry.

Backstage, legendary makeup artist Yadim Carranza translated that spirit into a beauty look that felt fresh, elemental, and quietly undone.

The result? Skin that looked naturally wind-kissed and luminous — as though the models had spent long days outdoors, their complexions softly flushed by crisp air and sunlight.

Rather than heavy glam, the focus remained on healthy, glowing skin with soft texture and warmth.

The Complexion: Luminous, Wind-Flushed Skin

The foundation of the look was fresh, radiant skin. Saie Slip Tint Tinted Moisturizer was pressed into the skin to create a light, breathable base that enhanced the models’ natural complexion rather than masking it.

To amplify glow, makeup artists blended in Saie Glowy Super Gel in Starglow, adding a subtle luminosity that caught the light without looking overly highlighted.

The result was a complexion that felt hydrated, effortless, and naturally radiant.

Cheeks: A Touch of Sun and Cold-Weather Flush

To recreate the look of skin warmed by the sun and chilled by fresh air, artists softly stippled Saie Dew Bronze in Salt across the cheeks and nose.

A touch of Saie Dew Blush in Spicy was then pressed into the center of the cheeks and diffused downward to mimic the natural flush that appears after time outdoors.

For added texture and authenticity, delicate freckles were lightly dotted across the nose and cheeks and softened with a brush.

The effect was softly imperfect, youthful, and completely natural.

Eyes: Soft Definition

Eyes were kept intentionally minimal to maintain the effortless mood of the look.

A wash of taupe shadow was blended across the lids, with a hint of Dew Bronze in Salt subtly defining the eyes. The soft neutral tones added dimension while keeping the overall appearance fresh and understated.

Brows: Lived-In and Effortless

Brows were brushed upward and left slightly undone, creating a lived-in, nomadic feel that echoed the spirit of the collection.

Nothing felt overly polished — and that was exactly the point.

The Beauty Mood: Effortless Radiance

The beauty look at Chloé proved that modern luxury beauty is less about perfection and more about authentic, glowing skin that feels alive and natural.

It’s a philosophy that resonates far beyond the runway — and one that aligns perfectly with Saie’s clean, skin-first approach to makeup.

For those looking to recreate the look at home, the key lies in light layers, luminous textures, and embracing skin’s natural character.

Think flushed cheeks, softly glowing skin, and a touch of outdoor warmth — the kind of effortless beauty that feels just as at home in the Hamptons as it does on the Paris runway.
