Fresh faces were all aglow on the runway, revamping fall beauty into a more soft subdued look for spring — smoky eyes, rosy cheeks, and berry-tinted lips conceded to a pretty palette of pastels in sheer, pale, and nude hues like peach and coral. Shows such as Badgley Mischka, BCBG Max Azria, Chloé, Luisa Beccaria, and Threeasfour were chock full of radiant beauties fashioned in sultry silhouettes, flirty florals, and dainty details accented with natural, fuss-free makeup. Whether your complexion is ivory, olive, or bronze, you can achieve the same sheer perfection that graced the catwalk.
Here are a few beauty must-haves you will need to get the look:
NUDE EYES
Keep eyes nude and natural in soft shades like in the Smashbox Eyelights eye shadow trio, $34 at smashbox.com.
TIP: Use one shadow for day. Use all three for a dramatic evening look.
TINTED LIPS
Give lips a natural luster with a sheer gloss in a pink or coral hue like Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited lip gloss, $22 at shuuemura.com.
TIP: Use neutral lip pencil underneath gloss for longer lasting color.
CORAL CHEEKS
Create a natural blush with pink and coral shades like in the Givenchy blush quartet in “Glowing Rose,” $40 at sephora.com.
TIP: Apply color to apple of cheeks and sweep up towards hairline.
