Spring is often the perfect time of year to trade your deep purple lipsticks and smoky eye shadows of winter and flaunt a fresh faced, natural makeup look. But this spring, some of the hottest looks from the Spring 2016 Runway shows are anything but neutral. Here are some of the biggest makeup trends seen on the runway for this spring:
Red Lips
Kiss your nude lipstick goodbye and flaunt your favorite shade of crimson to stand out against the crowd as the seasons transition.
Blue Eye shadow
As seen on Gigi Hadid in the Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2016 show, blue eye shadow is the perfect way to youthfully brighten up your eyes with looking juvenile. Whether you’re daring enough to try an electric blue shade à la 1980 or if pale blues are more of your style, stock up on all hues for this season.
Shimmery Eyes
Glittery eyes illuminated the runway this spring, from both shimmery eye shadow and actual glitter rhinestones, as seen in the Delpozo show.
Dewy Skin
Dewy skin has been all over the runway, and the trend isn’t going away any time soon. Highlight the tops of your cheekbones and the high points of your forehead and nose to achieve the “dancing all night look”, as seen in the Marc Jacobs 2016 runway show (see also: the light blue eye shadow on the inner corner of the model’s lids!)
Nail Art
Amp up your manicure this spring with fun colors on your French manicures or half-moon designs in metallic shades along the top and cuticle of your nail, like in this Jonathan Simkhai design.
Decorated Hair
Dress up an ordinary up-do with floral clips, as seen in the Rodarte Spring 2016 collection, or weave a colorful scarf into a bread or as a headband to bring add a spring-like flair to your hair.
