Beauty Trends from NYFW

            As fashion week in New York comes to an end, fashion enthusiasts are raving about the upcoming trends for the spring and summer, however I'm fawning over the beauty looks that aided in completing the magic and the mood at the runway! Three wearable looks that captured my attention were from Valentino, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Marc Jacobs.


Feminine Flush | Valentino






This simple look is incredibly fresh and beautiful. It certainly balances the brights and patterns that come with the upcoming spring/summer trends. Valentino's makeup artist, Pat McGrath, did a great job making the models' makeup look natural and effortless. 

How to:
Brush a taupe colored shadow into the crease of the lids, blend the eyeshadow past the outer corners and along the lower lashline. Apply foundation and concealer. Then, apply pink blush onto the apples of the cheeks and highlighter on the cheekbones. Lightly dust powder to finish off the "feminine flush."

Poppy Pink | Diane Von Furstenberg





Lipstick can make all the difference. Some say that it can even benefit your health..weird, I know. According to a L'Oréal survey, 75 percent of women believe that lipstick boosts their confidence. Moreover, this poppy pink color celebrates the arrival of spring! The shade of pink is not overpowering, and it adds the right amount of color to the face.

How to: 
Exfoliate your lips and apply your favorite pink lipstick!

Modern Muse | Marc Jacobs



If you're into pop art, the first artist that comes to mind must be Andy Warhol. Francois Nars, Marc Jacobs' makeup artist for NYFW, turned to Andy Warhol's modern muse, Edie Sedgwick, to influence his monochromatic makeup.

How to: 
Apply matte foundation and fill in the brows to create a graphic, sharp shape (Use your discretion to how bold you want your brows to look). Line the top eyelashes and smudge the lower lids with black liner. Blend a dark shadow, preferably black, into the crease and add black mascara on lashes. Finish off the "modern muse" look with nude lips.

Although I'm not a makeup expert and I may not have explained these "how to" looks thoroughly, I hope you can enjoy these fun and simple makeup styles from NYFW.
