A strong red lip is nothing new, but it is surprising for spring, which is typically softer and more subdued. And your DIY version doesn't have to be as bold as the ones that went down the catwalk. "Find something that works for you," says Maybelline global makeup artist Yadim. "You can mix the color with Baby Lips and create a stain -- or just dab it on with your fingers."

At dozens of shows, makeup artists used shades of gold, brown, yellow and taupe on the models' eyes to create a look that was rustic, edgy and often minimal. While not all golden hues work on all skin tones (I hate to admit it, but some of the models looked corpse-like wearing this makeup), it is a trend that translates easily to everyday life. Always start by perfecting the skin -- it will keep you looking bright and alive. After applying your shadow, makeup artist Sarah Lucero (who worked with Stila at Alice & Olivia, top left), suggests layering on lots of mascara to give the eye definition.

If I had a dollar for every time a hairstylist said, "it should look like the girl twisted her hair up herself," I'd be sitting on a beach in Hawaii right now (and my hair would probably look like this). The intentionally messy knot is both the most ubiquitous spring trend and also the easiest to recreate.

To get the look right, hairstylist Kevin Ryan suggests embracing your natural texture: "Dry your hair with your hands -- don't use a brush." Then, twist back your hair and secure it however you like -- it's a choose-your-own-adventure type of look.

The deep side part isn't revolutionary, but here's why you should wear it: It can modernize a classic hairstyle, it creates volume in a face-flattering way and it's simple to do yourself. Whether you're wearing braids, hair accessories or the aforementioned messy bun, a deep side part is a great starting point. "And tuck it behind the ear -- it's quite minimal and cool," says Eugene Souleiman, Global Creative Director for Wella Professionals.

Nail art isn't going anywhere, but it's definitely subtler than in seasons past. And the biggest nail art trend, hands down (pun intended), is anything linear. "I'm seeing a lot of lines this season -- and often paired with negative space," says Morgan Taylor lead artist Gina Edwards (who created the look at Noon by Noor, top left). "I believe nail art is going to be around, but it's all a matter of taste."

The best thing about linear nail art is just how easy it is to recreate on your own. Dip an old liquid eyeliner brush in polish, and drag it across your polished or bare nails. It doesn't have to be perfect to look cool.
