Subtle Holographic Lids at Anna Sui
Legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath took the makeup wheel this season at Anna Sui where she used her own products to create a truly breathtaking "no-makeup makeup" look — but with a twist. The look had everything you'd expect for a "me, but better" aesthetic, including dewy skin, a natural flush and natural lips. However, McGrath also incorporated prismatic shadows onto lids and cupid's bow via her just-launched Mothership V: Bronze Seduction Palette. The result? A now-you-see it, now-you-don't holographic shift with every subtle movement.

Splashy Green Lids at Christian Siriano
If you're craving an eye look that's slightly bolder, try on the splashy green lids worn by models at Christian Siriano. The look was created by Aveda's global artistic director, Janell Geason, and was inspired by the lush landscapes of Hawaii. Geason focused on creating beautiful skin and then added a pop of green along the lashes via Aveda's Jade Vine eyeliner, a creamy mixture of pigment, and then a touch of Papyrus eyeshadow on top to set the look.

Villain Wings at The Blonds
It was a star-laden show at The Blonds, where Paris Hilton and Patrick Starr helped bring to life the designers' Disney Villain theme by dressing as villains themselves. The remaining models wore a gilded, geometric winged eye with a black strikeout that provided the perfect dose of wickedness.

To create, key makeup artist for M.A.C. Cosmetics, Kabuki, drew a sharply angled wing with Pro Longwear Fluidline in Blacktrack, then topped it Dazzleshadow Liquid in Blinking Brilliant. You could easily get away with recreating a literal version of this look for the right occasion but a toned-down reinterpretation could also work beautifully.

Updated, Pastel Cat Eye at Marc Jacobs
At Marc Jacobs, lead makeup artist for Marc Jacobs Beauty, Diane Kendal, created an updated '50s-style cat eye. After prepping lids with Coconut Eye Primer, three colors were applied from lash line to brow bone (soft pink, pale yellow and powdery blue) via soon-to-launch shades of the brand's Omega Gel Powder Eyeshadow. Next, Kendal used Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in either Blacquer or Brown(ie) to create a stout, mod wing.
