Marni

Need a quick upgrade that adds instant drama to your look? Take a cue from Marni, where models rocked 60s-inspired lashes for a doe-eyed look. To re-create the look add lengthy lashes to sporadically to your lower and upper lashes.

DSquared2 was all about glowing skin. Opt for a rosy blush on the apple of the cheeks and highlight the inner corners of your eyes. Finish the look with a single coat of mascara.

Max Mara

This may be a bit extreme for your taste, but take it as a lesson in color. Next spring is all about bold pastels. Don’t be afraid of blending your favorite hue upward toward the brow bone and along your lower lashline. If you’re really feeling daring, opt for a colorful cateye.

Fendi

If you’re tired of your usual wined liner, opt for a graphic liner instead. We love this floating liner seen at endi. To get the look, use a gel liner to create a line that follows the arch of your crease. Finish with a setting spray and let the compliments roll in!

Burberry

Models at Burberry sported a combination of nude skin and merlot lips or bare lips. Our votes in for the merlot lip, though. It’s classy with a touch of sass!

Giles

The beauty look at Giles was sort of an ode to the care-free girl. Think: bold red lips, dewy skin and clumped mascara. She’s the confident girl who’s too busy living to spend copious amounts of time makeing herself up in the mirror.

Topshop Unique

I always say, “great nights always start with red lipstick.” Lived-in liner and blue-red matte lips are a winning combination next spring, every season in between and after !

Givenchy

Bleached brows and nude faces were the beauty M.O. at Givenchy. To mimick their nude palette, even out your skin tone using a complimentary concealer, apply to lips as well and finish with a translucent powder.

Marc Jacobs

We never thought we’d say it, but next season, weaing too much mascara will be a good thing! Models at Marc Jacobs sported messy shadow and smudged, clumpy lashes. Think: recreating that undone beauty look you used to have the day after those rowdy college frat parties.

Always a makeup minimalist, Alexander Wang’s ‘Wang Gang’ sported hydrated, luminous skin and groomed brows. I.E. The girls in that show literally woke up like that, and so can you!
