Coral lipstick? So 2012. This year punch-colored lipsticks were seen all over the runways.
To get the look, Babaian suggests using a lip brush when applying any color to achieve a more saturated look. But you can apply the color straight from the tube if you don't have a brush handy. Our pick to nail that punch-y shade: CoverGirl Lip Perfection in Flame, $6.99. If the color is a little too bright for you, use a nude lip liner first to tone it down. Then, finish with subtle eye and cheek makeup to make your lip color stand out.
"With a bright lip like this, you want to keep the rest of your makeup simple -- just a little eyeliner and mascara and a bit of blush on the apples of your cheeks," says Babaian.

Flawless, Contoured Skin
Another huge runway makeup trend was flawless skin. In other words, the classic no-makeup makeup look. Babaian says all you need to create a sculpted look is a little bronzer, blush, and highlighter. CoverGirl Instant Cheekbones Contouring Blush, $5.49, has all three.
"Just apply the bronzer under your cheeks, around your temples, and along your jawline to add definition to your face," says Babaian. "Then, follow up with blush on the apples of your cheeks."
To finish your look with a natural-looking glow, use a highlighter on the bridge of your nose and just above your cheekbones. Finally, complete the no-makeup makeup look by applying only one coat of mascara and a pinky-nude lipgloss.
Spring is all about renewing � renewing your wardrobe, your workout plan and, of course, your beauty closet. But while a pair of new sandals and a butt-busting exercise is all good and fun, stocking up with new spring makeup products takes the cake. New products mean new looks, which of course we're obsessed with creating. And the best place to get inspiration for these new looks? The runway.
Although Fashion Week was chock full of gorgeous beauty looks, we narrowed it down to our top picks for spring: Punch-colored lips, flawless skin, and bright eyeshadow. Even if you're not a beauty junkie, re-creating these looks is easier than you might think. Makeup artist Taylor Babaian gave us some great advice on how to get these looks at home without looking too over-the-top.
