While many
of the beauty looks on the catwalks at the Autumn/Winter 2014 shows during New
York Fashion Week were artistic statements that simply don’t make sense off the
runway, there were also plenty wearable makeup ideas that stood out. Here is a
run through 5 fashion-forward makeup ideas that you can try now!
1. Phillip Lim
Showing that
structured eyebrows is a beauty trend that isn’t about to go away any time
soon, models wore very defined dark eyebrows on the catwalk for 3.1 Phillip
Lim. The rest of the makeup look was toned down with matte skin, pink natural
toned lips and flushed-looking pink cheeks – this could easily during the day
as a unique makeup look.
2. Alice + Olivia
Alice +
Olivia went for a retro look that would be great for a night out or even a
dramatic day look. Lips were a glossy red with well defined edges, while eye
makeup was a thick cateye. Skin was kept dewy and fresh.
3. Altuzarra
Altuzarra’s
almost naked beauty look was very minimal – no obvious lip colour, minimal
foundation and no noticable cheek makeup either. However, they did add an
attention-grabbing detail to the eyes – a slick of glittery but transparent
eyeshadow. Try this one out to change up your usual day look.
4. Diane Von Furstenberg
The makeup
artists at the Diane Von Furstenberg created the perfect flattering but natural
beauty look that is great to wear any time. Using a blush-toned eyeshadow, the
eye makeup warmed the skintone and coordinated with blushed cheeks. Lips were
rosy and skin looked dewy. This is all about a healthy glow and flattering your
skin with the right natural shades.
5. DKNY
Statement
lips are still everywhere but DKNY had a particularly interesting take on the
look – red lips were mixed with a black lipstick layer to create a unique marbled
effect. The rest of the makeup was kept simple with little attention paid to
eyes and simple fresh skin.
