NYFW Top Makeup (And Nail) Moments

Fashion Week is almost here and we're taking a look back at our favorite makeup trends from previous shows. Take a peek and let us know which are your favorite. 

By Deena Campbell and Nicole Marie · September 3, 2014October 27, 2020
01
Lela Rose

Bold, bright beauty was the name of the game at the Lela Rose runway show.  Models worked the runway in a bright swipe of neon green eyeshadow paired with bubble gum pink lips. The rest of the face was left bare with a dewy finish.

02
Tracy Reese

Mally Roncal for Mally Beauty created this mesmerizing makeup look with winged cat eye liner, gold bronzer and dewy skin for the Tracy Reese show.

03
Christian Siriano

Spring is all about wearing color-rich makeup, and at the Christian Siriano show, the models did just that.  This juicy orange lipstick was the central focus. A light swipe of gray eyeshadow and subtle mascara finished off the look.

04
Dennis Basso

This spicy makeup moment at Dennis Basso combined all the elements you’d typically expect for fall, but with a warm-weather twist.  The burnt orange lipstick stands out as the focus of the face, while clean, bare skin gives the look a fresh feel.

05
Naeem Khan

The matchy-matchy makeup trend is always a favorite among beauty lovers. At Naeem Khan, the designer paired the rich hues in the clothing with lip stains in the same strawberry shade.

06
Rodarte

Accents on the lower part of the eye are seeing a major surge for spring.  At Rodarte, chalky eyeshadow was used to accent the eye and paired with subtle liner on the upper eyelid and strong brows. 

07
Donna Karan

At Donna Karan, the makeup was all about stark contours and dramatic angles.  The cheeks were sculpted using cinnamon-colored blush and bronzer, while the eyes were enhanced with rich, chocolate brown shadow. To balance it all out, a sweet pink lip gloss finished off the look.

08
Badgley Mischka

Mint green has popped up on the runways a few times this spring indicating a major trend alert. Badgley Mischka incorporated this bold makeup move into this week’s show for a head-turning beauty statement.

09
Cynthia Rowley

For spring, it’s time to think pink! That’s the message that was sent at Cynthia Rowley where lovely ladies showcased the spring collection in fuchsia lipstick and berry colored gloss on the eyes.

10
Cushnie et Ochs

If you thought a dramatic smoky eye was only for fall, think again.  The ladies at Cushnie et Ochs worked the runway in this far-reaching eye makeup look, complete with exaggerated proportions and a swipe of metallic silver liner on the lower lids.

11
Desigual

These nails are so much fun!  Desigual sent models down the runway in eye-catching manicures that coordinated with the bold prints found in the clothing collection.

12
Desigual

A sun-kissed glow is what every girl dreams of come springtime.  At Desigual, it was all about rich rosy cheeks and kissable mandarin orange lips.
