Eye-Popping Looks from the Runway to You

It’s not only apparel inspiration that is coming off the runway this Spring season. Makeup showcased in the Spring 2013 runway shows was more attainable and everyday-relevant then ever!

As schedules get increasingly hectic in this on-the-go world, it becomes all the more important to make sure that you are putting your best face forward with as little maintenance as possible. In the same way that a versatile wardrobe is of utmost importance, it is just as crucial to have easy and versatile cosmetic looks in your repertoire.

A sharp cat eye, achieved with one or multiple colors of liquid eyeliner, is a perfect way to transition from the boardroom to happy hour in one maintainable swoop. This classic look is as sheik and sophisticated as it is low-maintenance. Make sure to accentuate your peepers with a waterproof liner and you’ll be good to go from sunup to sundown and possibly beyond! Dare to top the black liner with a bold color for an even more eye-catching look.

For those who opt for a less bold look, a neutral smoky eye is the way to go. Choose a soft color just slightly darker than your skin tone to start the day and then accentuate with just one more swipe of a slightly darker shade to really make your eyes pop under in the moonlight. Remember to brush just a small bit of iridescent powder on the inner corners of your eyes to really increase your glow.

Finally, for those who want to really stand out night and day, swipe a bright pastel color on your eyelids and a few coats of dark mascara for a flirty daytime face. To up the intensity just a bit when you’re ready to slip out for a night on the town, just layer a charcoal grey power over that existing color for an iridescent play on the classic smoky eye. Finish off the look with a touch-up coat of mascara and there’s no doubt that you’re looking at fabulous in the mirror.
