Bags under your eyes -- gross. Bags on your eyelids -- that's high fashion. 

On Tuesday, Chanel showcased its fall 2016 collection in Paris, sending colorful tweed suits with matching hats down the runway. But it was the beauty look that turned heads.

Following a croissant-inspired hairdo for his couture show in January, this time designer Karl Lagerfeld enlisted makeup artist Tom Pecheux to mimic an accessory -- the brand's iconic quilted handbag. 


Originally designed by Coco Chanel in February 1955, the purse became known as the Chanel 2.55 for the date that it was created.

It has since undergone numerous updates. Through the decades the bag has been available in a variety of sizes and color combinations as well as limited edition prints and fabrics. After 60 years, however, it's still one of the luxury labels most coveted items.



If you love the timeless bag but don't feel like taking out a $6,000 loan to purchase it, simply wear the classic texture on your face.

Stretch finely woven fishnet stockings or a wig cap over your eyelids and apply a dark colored shadow on top to imitate the look.
