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.

At Monique Lhuillier, the bold-yet-feminine floral designs were complemented by equally bold makeup. M.A.C. senior artist Val Garland created this "primary Crayola ... colour bolts" look. He evened out models' skin tone with foundation and subtly highlighted the cheekbones to create a no-makeup makeup base that let the graphic liner shine.
He then chose M.A.C. Pro Chromographic Pencil in High-Def Cyan or Landscape Green, and applied from the inner corner to the outer corner, starting as a thin line, gradually getting bigger and ending in a blunt tail.
