How to get the hottest runway makeup trends

Interpret some of the runways best makeup trends for real life.

By Jessica Ungerman

Trend 3: Purple and blue eyeliner
On the runway:
Electric blue and deep purple applied heavily on eyelids for an over-the-top effect.

How to make it wearable:
Tone down the dosage and the heavy application, but stick with rich, saturated shades of purple or blue.

How to:
• Start by applying the eye shadow over lids.
• With a lighter hand and less product on your brush, apply a finer coating of colour from the upper lid to the brow bone and in a straight line below the eyes.
• Finish with two coats of coloured mascara.

Trend 4: Au naturale
On the runway: Totally bare faces, cheeks, eyes and lips.

How to make it wearable:
Most of us need a little colour on our cheeks and lips so we don't look dreary.


How to:
Prep your skin with a primer over the face and eye area.
• Apply a liquid or cream compact foundation evenly over the entire face and neck.
• Opt for light brown or taupe eye shadow shades.
• Give cheeks a rosy tint with a light dusting of blush.
• Use a matte nude lipstick with a hint of colour on lips.
