Unlike seasons past, we didn't see bright lips on every runway. But the few makeup artists who did bright lips did them well -- in pretty, flattering shades of coral. Sarah Lucero used Stila Cosmetics Stay All Day Liquid Lip Color in Tesoro (a coral-spiked red) at Clover Canyon (top left) and she used the same product in Carina (a coral-spiked pink) at Trina Turk (bottom right). At Tanya Taylor (top right), NARS international lead makeup stylist Uzo used NARS Satin lip Pencil in Timanfaya.

And over at Richard Chai (bottom left), makeup artist Mark Carrasquillo opted for a matte version -- MAC Lip Mix in Orange and Yellow. His tip for getting the perfect matte lip every time? "Draw it on, then press over it with your fingertips so it doesn't look too manicured," Carrasquilo says.

Somewhere between the realm of minimal makeup and a smoky eye lies this smudgy brown makeup look that at least one artist dubbed the "handsome" eye. At Dennis Basso (top left), Avon makeup artist Jamie Greenberg called it the "mocha latte Starbucks" eye. She added black gel pencil along the waterline to give it edge. At BCBG and Donna Karan (top right and bottom left), the look was soft and subtle with light brown shadow. At Sophie Theallet (bottom right), it took a darker turn and MAC makeup artists finished it off with a glossy sheen.

Come spring, feel free to go a little wild with your eyeliner. (Extra points for using lipstick as liner.) Because there wasn't one clear trend or style, we're highlighting the versions that really wowed us. Clockwise from top left: At Peter Som, makeup artist Yadim used Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color in Vibrant Mandarin on the inner corners of the eyes. The effect was war paint-esque, and definitely NSFW, but one of the coolest looks to hit the runways all season. There were sheer looks like the blue wash of Maybelline eye shadow we spotted at Dannijo. The double-winged white liner Maybelline artists created at Nanette Lepore felt fresh and modern. And for the adventurous makeup wearer, there's the blue cat-eye Kevyn Aucoin makeup artists created at Honor -- it would be just as gorgeous in a slightly more wearable navy color.

Braids have been going strong at Fashion Week for more than a few seasons now, but come spring, the trend will be ropier and more intricate than ever before. Clockwise from top left: At Marissa Webb, Tresemmé celebrity stylist Jeanie Syfu created a cool braided pompadour that featured an inside-out French braid. At Suno, hairstylist Odile Gilbert used Ké'rastase products to hold exaggerated fishtail braids in place. At Mara Hoffman, hairstylist Nick Irwin started with Catwalk by Tigi Transforming Dry Shampoo to give hair a matte texture. Then, he braided about half the hair, before wrapping the remaining sections around the braid for a "destroyed desert braid" effect. And at Donna Karan, hairstylist Eugene Souleiman needed an extra set of hands and Wella Stay Firm Finishing Spray to get the look -- he compared the cross-stitched braids to braiding keychains.

The sleek ponytail trend doesn't require much explanation. If you've got shine serum and an elastic, you're halfway there. While there were dozens of ponytails on the runways, some of our favorites included Opening Ceremony, Jason Wu, Alexander Wang and J. Mendel.
