Bare facesThe makeup-free look that appeared on the runways a few seasons ago isn’t going away any time soon, judging by the (nearly) bare faces of models at Marc Jacobs, Prabal Gurung, Thakoon, Rag & Bone, Balenciaga, Dries van Noten and Victoria Beckham this season. How to pull off the look? Well, it’s all in the flawless complexion! Invest in a high-quality moisturizer and massage the face for several minutes before applying concealer and foundation. expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout

Red lipsIt’s a trend that comes and goes through the years. Once reserved for glamorous evening looks, the red lipstick has made its way into everyday makeup routines and is no longer out of place at the supermarket or on the street. Seen at Dolce & Gabbana, Topshop Unique, Burberry, Zac Posen and Antonio Berardi. expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout

Aqua lidsAnother makeup trend slated for a comeback is blue eyeshadow, specifically in shades of the turquoise family. Seen at Elie Saab, Ungaro and Holy Fulton, this look is admittedly not the easiest to pull off. The daring ones can apply shades of cyan and aqua around the entire eye. Dior even placed tiny strips of blue leather above the models’ eyelids. expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout

A counterpoint to the pastel look, smoky eyes are clearly here to stay next season, as seen on the runways of Tom Ford, Diane von Furstenberg, Narciso Rodriguez (just around the outer edges) and Tommy Hilfiger (in a lighter version). But smoky doesn’t have to be just black and grey: the prune variation seen at Vera Wang is one way to shake things up. expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout
