The Look: Multi-Colors
The face at Charlotte Ronson was all about color -- from the sheer lilac shadow on the lids to the pop of coral on the lips. Sephora Pro makeup artist Gilbert Soliz created the look using products from Ronson's line for Sephora, blending two lip shades, Red Flirt and Rosy Frivol.

The Real Way
If red lipstick isn't your thing but you want to try color, coral might be the answer. This show-goer embodies the fun and femininity of the Charlotte Ronson look. And even though she skipped the purple shadow, the upswept eyeliner is a playful alternative.

Even though Fashion Week showcases a season that's more than six months away (everything we saw this month is for fall 2012), it's seriously tempting to try the hairstyles and makeup looks now. And so many of the women we spotted on the street -- whether they were going to the shows or not -- were doing just that. From bold lip colors to big hairstyles, they were test-driving the trends mere minutes after they appeared on the catwalk.

It made us think way back to Alexander Wang's spring 2010 collection -- aka the most blatant example of a runway beauty look immediately making a cameo in real life. The models paraded down the catwalk wearing long, rope-like side braids, and the very next day half the women at Fashion Week were wearing their hair the same way.

Check out how real women are wearing the hottest hairstyles and makeup trends.

While most of what we saw this season wasn't quite so obvious, we appreciate the way these women interpreted the hair and makeup even more. Instead of copying everything exactly -- and risk being mistaken for models who got lost looking for the backstage entrance -- they gave it their own unique spins. So even though the street beauty looks aren't exact replicas of the runway, we think they're even more inspiring -- and a whole lot easier to wear.
