Channel your inner vamp with this sexy look from Cushnie et Ochs. Makeup artist Gato for Maybelline New York started by creating a flawless base with contoured cheekbones. He kept the eyes simple with just a hint of black liner along the upper lash line and lower waterline, adding a touch of plum shades from The RockNudes Palette (launching January 2016). Only a single coat of The Volum' Express Colossal Chaotic was used.
Yadim gave models at Jason Wu's show a barely-there, fresh makeup look for the skin, just using a touch of FaceStudio Master Conceal to hide blemishes. He then punctuated the look with what he calls "Yu Red" -- a custom blend of Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid (out in 2016) in Rebel Red and Berry Boost.
The turquoise liner was created just for the runway, but you can mix Eye Basics in Linen with Créme Eye Liner in Canard to create a similar shade. Apply it with an angled liner brush, and coat lashes with multiple layers of mascara. Some models wore nude lipstick, while others donned Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color in Vermillion Red.

The bold, modern eye makeup seen at Jonathan Simkhai is surprisingly easy to pull off. Makeup artist Yadim for Maybelline New York started by evening out models' skin tone with foundation, then covered up any dark circles with Maybelline New York Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer. He then contoured and highlighted with Face Studio Master Contour (out next January).
There's nothing we love more than a bold lip, and that's exactly what Lucero gave us at the Banana Republic show. She used Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Carina.
To complement the lip, not compete with it, she created a "peaches and cream" complexion by using the Aqua Glow Watercolor Blush in Shimmering Lotus on cheeks and the neutral, peachy shades from the Eyes Are the Window Palette in Mind around the eyes.
