Plaids were the order of the day when Dior unveiled its Cruise 2016 collection on the French Riviera earlier this week. But though the models looked stunning in their 1960s-inspired dresses and metallic fabrics, we're also lusting after their beauty look.

The setting, the surreal Mediterranean villa Palais Bulles designed by Pierre Cardin, was light and fun, and the makeup reflected the ambience. "It's a relaxed vibe, a very light and very flattering look," explains Creative and Image Director of Dior Makeup Peter Philips.

Model's faces were kept natural and dewy-looking, with Philips opting for the brand's "Star" foundation to create flawless complexions. Cheekbones were highlighted using the translucent powder "Diorskin Nude Cosmopolite," while the blush "Cosmospolite Rosewood" gave the models a light flush.

The eyes were kept natural and low-key, using the house's "Eye Reviver" palette and highlighting and shading the eye socket to bring out each model's individual features. Philips then used Diorshow mascara on the upper lashes to open up the eyes.

Brows were the main focus of the look, tamed and perfected using the new "Diorshow Brow Styler," a gel which can be used to "set" the eyebrows and give them a polished finish. It is available in clear, blonde and brown shades.

Dewy lips finished off the pretty look, thanks to a slick of "Lip Maximiser" gloss in the shade "Sunkissed", while nails were kept elegant in the pastel yellow and pink shades of "Sunkissed", "Sunwashed" and "Muguet".
