New York Fashion Week 2016 wrapped up on Thursday, Feb. 18 with a show stopping Marc Jacobs presentation that featured the surprise appearance of pop star Lady Gaga on the runway. While the shows may be over and the street style stars have gone home everyone is still buzzing about the emerging Fall 2016 trends that were seen on the runways of fashion giants like Alexander Wang, Marchesa, Michael Kors, Prabal Gurung and more. New York Fashion Week is not just about designers showcasing their collections. Renowned makeup artists, manicurists, and hairstylists also take center stage as they create trend-setting looks that will potentially change the makeup game forever. The beauty trends emerging from New York Fashion Week 2016 are held together by one common thread: boldness. What could be bolder than indigo lips? Or daring to dye your hair platinum blonde? Or, boldest of all, to go bare faced? Read on to find out the hottest beauty trends at New York Fashion Week 2016!
1. Braids, Braids, Braids

4. Bold Brows

Naturally thick-browed girls rejoice: the trend endures. However, the trend seems to have shifted slightly from perfectly filled-in to the imperfectly wild brows at Narcisco Rodriguez and Karen Walker.
5. Indigo Blue
