Fall’s 10 Best Beauty Moments

Beautifully groomed brows can actually frame one’s face in a way a haircut can’t. At shows like Donna Karan and J Mendel, accentuated arches drew attention where models looked precisely plucked. One way to achieve this look is with this pigmented gel which fills, defines and lengthens brows.

One of the biggest trends this season is deep wine stained lips that range from mulberry to verging-on-chocolate. At shows like Gucci and Givenchy, the look was offset with clean, flawless skin and a noncompeting nude eye. Pat on just a bit for a pretty tint, and save yourself from looking too vampy.

Take note: This sounds scarier than it looks. Eyelids at Roberto Cavalli and Prabal Gurung were blended with iridescent purple, green and blue jewel tones for a mesmerizing, multi-toned effect. Less adventurous types can choose one single shade and pat it on liberally for a similar feel.

Flawless, bare-looking skin is a year-round must, but if you can pull it off in the winter months, you have something to sing about. Fresh and natural faces at Christian Dior and Vera Wang were teamed with subtle flushes of blush and muted rosy lips to liven up the complexion. For a more dramatic moment, emphasize either the eyes or lips for clean sophistication.

At Diane von Furstenberg and Preen, neutral hues like beige and taupe were used as multitasking makeup. Dabbed on lids, pressed on pouts and swiped on cheeks, they made for a uniform look that was both minimal and effortless. You can achieve the same monochromatic face with this pretty “nude” palette.

Layered brown shadow was the name of the game at Burberry and Loewe, where models wore soft shades like toffee and mocha. Less aggressive and more wearable than the smoky black eye, it also suits all complexions. Step-by-step instructions on this matte eye shadow palette will make the process foolproof.

Flat-ironed ponies looked glossy and polished at perennial American favorites Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. Stylists prepped hair with smoothing serums and then combed it into long tails that proved to be the perfect day-to-night 'do.

The fall runway had lots of twists and turns, with locks pinned into everything from nape-of-the-neck coils at Valentino to Rapunzel-pinned braids at Pucci. A romantic trend that looks lovely on everyone, the level of complexity is definitely your call. However you decide to spiral, be sure to choose bobbi pins that are pretty enough to stand on their own (in case it all falls to peices.)

Retro up-'dos like the classic bouffant made appearances at classically ladylike shows such as Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera. Hair was teased and tucked, and some styles were even adorned with simple or bejeweled headbands. If you stick to a bit of back-combing, keep it in place with an elegant ribbon; you won’t look dated one bit.

Hair accessories like ornamental headbands and embellished barrettes stole the show at Dolce & Gabbana and Tory Burch. But it was Rodarte that created the most buzz with its ethereal clustered gold star combs. To make a similar statement, try haphazardly stacking some skinny jeweled styles together.

For fall, short, square nails were painted in stormy shades like midnight and eggplant, with plenty of glossy topcoat added. At Behnaz Sarafpour, nail beamed with high shine metals that complemented ladylike looks. This is a trend for all to try, so don’t be afraid to go dark this season when you pick your paint!
