A five-minute moisturizer-only routine is the stuff dreams are made of, and the models who walked the runway for Michael Kors at NYFW seemed to nail this fantasy with fresh, seemingly makeup-free complexions and a delicate flush.
Beauty blogger Sona Gasparian recreates the perfect natural face by mixing L'Oreal True Match foundation with Kate Somerville Dilo Oil, applying it with a foundation brush. The oil thins out the foundation, creating the sheerest possible coverage. Gasparian then uses a highlighter close to her natural skin tone -- LORAC Perfectly Lit Oil Free Luminizing Powder in Spotlight Plein Feux. A bit of Urban Decay Baked Bronzer applied in the crease of the eye with a fluffy brush, and Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine finishes the natural look. See the full tutorial here.

Abstract strokes at Kate Spade, light dusts at Altuzarra and an ethereal application at Tibi -- three officially makes white eye makeup the must-try trend for spring. Wakeup for Makeup's Ivy Boyd recreates this dramatic eye look that works for both winter and spring.
First apply a cream shadow, such as NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, to the entire lid, using your fingers to blend. Next, top with a matte white shadow (Boyd uses White from the LORAC Pro Palette). For added definition, Boyd adds Slate from the same palette to the outer corners and crease, and blends with a fluffy brush. White eyeliner, like Sephora Nano Eyeliner, brings an extra pop of intensity. You can either finish with mascara, or add an extra flourish with a glittery topcoat like Boyd's LORAC Liquid Lustre and false lashes.
