At this season's New York Fashion Week, the makeup looks were uncharacteristically bold in comparison to past years that historically included barely there makeup. In a welcomed change, makeup artists showed off their creativity with some seriously colorful eye looks. We are loving the imaginative trend so much, we might not be able to wait until the warm weather returns to try out the saturated shades.
Ahead, you'll find some of the New York fashion shows' most daring looks, as well as products and tips to re-create them yourself.
Sorbet Eyes
At Anna Sui, iconic makeup artist Pat McGrath gave a handful of models "kaleidoscope" eyes in bright yellow and pink hues.
Nars Pure Pops Single Eyeshadow
To wear a similar look, smear the colors on your lids and apply a wash of a yellow shadow like Nars Pure Pops Single Eyeshadow in Duoro ($19) and a bright pink blush under your eyes.
Electric Eyes
At Zero + Maria Cornejo, neon eyeliner — like the orange you see here — reigned supreme.
Too Faced Sketch Marker Liquid Eyeliner
Use a brightly hued pen liner like the Too Faced Sketch Marker Liquid Eyeliner ($20) to draw sharp wings across your lids.
Glitter Moment
At Kate Spade, gold glitter was pressed onto the models' lids for a shimmering effect.
MAC Glitter
To get a similar look, press the MAC Glitter in Yellow Gold ($22) onto your eyes.
Liquid Gold
At Kim Shui, the models' antique gold eyes reminded us of the versatility of metallic shades.
Touch in Sol Metallist Liquid Foil & Glitter Eye Shadow Duo
The Touch in Sol Metallist Liquid Foil & Glitter Eye Shadow Duo ($25) gives you two options for shine: glitter and foil.
Pointillism
At Lanyu, the models' eyes were adorned with what looked like abstract paintings.

At Pyer Moss, the makeup artist experimented with a variety of colored eyeliners softly blended together.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

Aqua Eye Shadow
Aside from the oversize floral hair accessories, Rodarte's show included blue shadow that would make even Barbie envious. James Kaliardos used Nars products to create the colorful makeup look.
