93 Runway-Approved Beauty Ideas to Sport This Spring

Hair: Eugene Souleiman for Wella Professionals

Inspiration: The surfer theme of the collection led to the creation of a chic, windswept style. Souleiman crimped and braided random sections of hair, spritzing the whole look with Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz ($16) for added texture.

Makeup: Sarah Lucero for Stila Cosmetics

Inspiration: Lucero paid homage to the collection's Far East theme with a bright red lip using Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Tesoro ($22).

Makeup: Katey Denno for Burt's Bees

Inspiration: Steven Alan's vision of natural beauty was paralleled in the lip color. Denno custom-matched Burt's Bees Lip Crayons ($9) to each model's natural lip hue, then added extra layers to build the intensity.

Hair: Jimmy Paul

Makeup: Sil Bruinisma for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: Bruinisma was inspired by Twiggy's 1967 Vogue cover. He heavily defined models' eyes with liner, added layers of mascara, and applied two sets of lashes to the upper eyelid.

Hair: Guido for Redken

Makeup: Diane Kendal for MAC Cosmetics

Hair: Guido for Redken

Makeup: Tom Pecheux for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: The safari-like collection translated to bronzed skin, lightly blushed cheeks, and a trace amount of gold shimmer along the lower lash line.

Hair: Guido for Redken

Makeup: Francois Nars for Nars Cosmetics

Inspiration: The inspiration for the collection was uniforms, which was clear in the beauty backstage: every model looked the same! The models' faces were completely bare save for moisturizer, and they all sported the same blunt, black wig. "The set is the makeup," joked Nars, referring to the hot-pink hue of the house.

Hair: Odile Gilbert for Kérastase

Makeup: Yadim for Maybelline

Inspiration: Gilbert kept the hair sleek and modern with a midheight ponytail. The makeup was equally simple with all neutral tones and very little foundation.

Hair: Shiseido

Makeup: Shiseido

Inspiration: Star patterns from the collection's pieces appeared sprinkled on models' cheekbones for a whimsical look.

Hair: Antonio Corral Calero for Moroccanoil

Inspiration: The collection was inspired by Old Hollywood glamour, but Calero modernized this look in the hair by creating a more disheveled style, similar to the hair of a mistress sneaking out of a hotel the morning after.

Hair: Sally Hershberger and Travis Speck for Sally Hershberger Downtown Salon

Makeup: James Boehmer for Nars Cosmetics

Inspiration: The collection was inspired by the late Lauren Bacall and evolved into a "pretty but not precious" modern take on the '40s and '50s. Boehmer created a look that was a little sportier, sculpting the eye with blush and dabbing Nars lipstick in Ingrid ($32) on the center of the lip for a wine-stained pout.

Hair: Ted Gibson

Makeup: Matin Maulawizada for Laura Mercier

Inspiration: The collection's "gardens of Kyoto" theme was echoed in the cherry-blossom-hued cheeks of the models, created with Laura Mercier Cream Blush in Rosebud ($25).

Hair: Guido for Redken

Inspiration: With an upscale, modern woman in mind, Guido created a center part and kept the hair off the face.

Hair: Paul Hanlon for Schwarzkopf

Makeup: Lucia Pieroni for Clé de Peau Beauté

Inspiration: The inspiration behind the hair was a "call girl with a strong eye for fashion." Hanlon added texture to hair by curling hair and creating small fishtail braids behind each ear.

Makeup: Yadim for Maybelline New York

Hair: Amit Abraham for L'Oréal Professionel

Inspiration: The collection was inspired by Nancy Cunard, an activist and heiress of the Jazz Age. Abraham used this to create the hairstyle of a controversial, rule-breaking woman. Braids and chignons were combined for a global, iconoclastic look.

Hair: Garren

Makeup: Pat McGrath

Inspiration: McGrath went for a "cosmic, rock and roll" beauty look, adding loose glitter to the corners of the eyes and the centers of the top and bottom lash lines.

Hair: Nadirah Volpe for Sexy Hair

Makeup: Kelly Thompson for Kryolan

Inspiration: Rita Ora's modern-day Marilyn Monroe hairstyle was the inspiration for the locks at Betsey Johnson.

Hair: Paul Hanlon

Makeup: Gucci Westman for Nars Cosmetics

Inspiration: Due to the sporty, athletic feel to the collection, Westman chose to create an effortless beauty look. "It's less complicated and more real," said Westman. For a dewy glow, she used Nars The Multiple in Copacabana ($39).

Makeup: Kabuki for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: The inspiration for the collection was "gangsta genie" combined with Hispanic gang symbolism and patron saints. Kabuki created this look based on Marlene Dietrich in Kismet "if she were a chola." Lips were overdrawn and filled in with a lighter lipstick for a dimensional look. Pure Gold Super Slick liner was applied directly over BlackTrack Fluidline for a bold, glittering cat eye.

Hair: Nick Irwin for Tigi

Inspiration: Irwin described the look as "madness," celebrating the brand's over-the-top aesthetic. Irwin used nine packets of Kanekalon ($2) to create each braid. The plaits had a doughnut-shaped piece at the end to affix them to the models' real hair (in a bun beneath the braid). Finally, hair was shaped into script "Blonds" and glued on to the forehead for a look that was "fashionable couture" but not fantasy.

Makeup: Sarah Lucero for Stila Cosmetics

Inspiration: The collection's Marie Antoinette theme resulted in a fresh, youthful take on contouring. Instead of using dark shades for shadow, Lucero focused on using multiple highlighting products (including Stila's Baked Cheek Duo in Pink Glow, $24) to create both brightness and depth on the models' faces.

Hair: Orlando Pita

Makeup: Gucci Westman for Hourglass Cosmetics

Inspiration: Westman was inspired by graphic prints in the collection. She combined two different liners — Calligraphy Liquid Eye Liner ($32) and 1.5mm Mechanical Gel Eye Liner ($45) — for an inky, graphic cat eye.

Hair: Guido for Redken

Makeup:Pat McGrath for CoverGirl

Inspiration: Guido created a more modern take on the ponytail with a deep side part and an ultraglossy finish.

Hair: James Pecis for Phyto

Makeup: Dick Page for Shiseido

Inspiration: Using the words "fresh, summery, innocent, naive, and clean" (which were emailed to him before the show), Pecis created a strong part, leaving the rest of the hair light and airy.

Hair: Guido for Redken

Makeup: Diane Kendal for Marc Jacobs Beauty

Inspiration: A cooler, chicer take on the raver girl was the source of inspiration for both hair and makeup. An innocent yet edgy twist on the mohawk was spritzed with Evian, and a bit of gloss was applied to the cheekbones to make the overall look appear sweaty.

Makeup: James Kaliardos for Nars Cosmetics

Inspiration: The collection was aiming for a "cool-girl-chic aesthetic." The faux eyebrow piercings, meant to be more of a facial accessory than a punk statement, were glued on individually.

Hair: Peter Gray for Moroccanoil

Makeup: Tom Pecheux for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: The collection's theme was "Marie Antoinette in the East Village," so Gray created a rough, edgy look with a downtown feel by creating a dirty texture and adding in colored extensions. Pecheux matched the fake hair hues on each model's brows using eye shadow, leaving the rest of the face nearly entirely bare.

Hair: Esther Langham for Beauty.com using Alterna Haircare and T3 tools

Makeup: Tina Turnbow for Beauty.com using Kevyn Aucoin cosmetics

Inspiration: The work of contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and her unique approach to graphics and florals were sources of inspiration for the collection. Using Kevyn Aucoin's eye pencil in Defining Navy ($26), Turnbow created a smoked-out cat eye that was both romantic and edgy.

Makeup: Francelle Daly for Nars Cosmetics

Inspiration: Using the airy transparency of the collection as a reference point, Daly created sensual, glowing skin on each of the models, inspired by morning light.

Makeup: Charlotte Tilbury for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: Karan requested "dewy, hot skin" for the models, which Tilbury achieved by applying lots of moisturizer to the body and face. She then used matte eye products to create a neutral smoky eye, resulting in a textured look.

Hair: Eugene Souleiman for Wella

Inspiration: Hair was used as an accessory at Donna Karan, where Souleiman incorporated real and fake hair into gorgeous rope braids that took four hands to achieve.

Hair: Odile Gilbert for Kérastase

Makeup: Kabuki for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: The streamlined feel of the collection resulted in a stronger, sexier look, echoed in the glossy pompadour and matte skin. Instead of highlighter on the high points of the face, Kabuki used Matchmaster Foundation ($35) to avoid any shine.

Hair: Nick Irwin for Tigi

Makeup: Chantel Miller for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: The collection was inspired by women from two eras: London's swinging '60s and the '90s raver. To give the impression of being lived-in, dangerous, and loose, eye makeup was smudged with a wet cotton swab on an otherwise bare face. Hair was roughed up between stylists' palms for a dirty cool-girl look.

Inspiration: Star tattoos gave a nod to the motif that was seen throughout the collection — as a clothing print and jewelry accessory.

Hair: Orlando Pita for BioSilk

Inspiration: The collection's bold prints were reminiscent of a geisha's formal attire. Pita used this Japanese influence in the hair by creating a highly structured "sumo-knot" style.

Makeup: Kimberly Soane for Bobbi Brown

Inspiration: Soane looked to the monochromatic earth tones found in the collection, creating a look with windswept cheeks and warm, neutral eyes.

Hair: Frank Rizzieri for Aveda

Inspiration: Japanese culture influences the collection, so Rizzieri made the locks sleek and structured by pulling back each model's locks with a matching bungee band.

Hair: Anthony Cole for Sebastian Professional

Makeup: Polly Osmond for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: The collection gave a nod to the glass sculptures of Sergio Redegalli — an idea that was visible in crystal embroidery and laser-cut designs. Osmond mixed Marine Ultra and Cyan pigments to create a navy hue that she painted onto lashes, then topped them off with glittery false lashes.

Hair: Guido for Redken

Makeup: Pat McGrath

Inspiration: McGrath and Guido both wanted a fresh, youthful look that wouldn't overpower the clothes. McGrath applied a blend of lipstick and lip balm with a finger, then tissue-dabbed it off for an ultranatural look.

Hair: Eugene Souleiman for Wella Professionals

Makeup: Yadim for Maybelline New York

Inspiration: As usual, the look at DKNY was inspired by the women of NYC (there were even some models cast from the city streets). The hair was mean to mimic the '90s look with slicked-back baby hairs and zigzaggy parts. The makeup was purposefully "sweaty" to give the appearance of women who have been walking around the city.

Hair: Guido for Redken

Inspiration: Guido looked to the Versace campaigns of the 1990s for inspiration, working with each model's natural hair texture to create a sexy, undone look.

Hair: Redken

Makeup: Grace Lee for Maybelline New York

Inspiration: Lee's muse for this look was a beautiful woman walking down the beach wearing a breezy caftan. She used silver shadow for the double-winged cat eye and applied cult-favorite Baby Lips to the cheekbone as a highlighter.

Hair: Orlando Pita for BioSilk

Makeup: Pat McGrath

Inspiration: The French Riviera and Brigitte Bardot were key sources of inspiration for DVF's Spring 2015 show. But you won't see the big Bumpit height near the crown. Orlando Pita used BioSilk Texturizing Powder ($13) to create volume instead. Meanwhile, the makeup was classic sex kitten: a muted smoky eye and pouty pink lips.

Hair: Scunci

Makeup: Daniel Martin for NYX Cosmetics

Inspiration: The hair was all about sporty-chic ponytails. Scunci created custom-colored headbands for the Tracy Reese runway that will be on sale Spring 2015. The texturized ponytails were looped under into the headband for that just-left-Spin-class style. The makeup was all about the eye with a squared-off liner and black, banana-shaped line in the crease.

Hair: Odile Gilbert for Kérastase

Makeup: Diane Kendal for Nars Cosmetics

Inspiration: Think Tahitian goddesses just getting out of the ocean. The hair and makeup at Thakoon were meant to have a glossy, wet element. The eyes were covered in a clear sheen, and the hair was spritzed with Kérastase Gloss Appeal ($37). Anyone else craving a dip in the ocean?

Makeup: Alice Lane for Maybelline New York

Inspiration: The colors of Georgia O'Keeffe's artwork were a major inspiration backstage. For a natural pink cheek, Lane blended Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick ($7) in Red Revival on the cheekbones.

Hair: Odile Gilbert for Kérastase

Inspiration: Gilbert wanted the models to look like they were going out after a day at the beach. Gilbert made each model's hair appear wet at the crown but dry at the braid's tail, as if she'd pulled her hair back postswim.

Hair: James Pecis for Moroccanoil

Makeup: Sephora PRO

Inspiration: The collection had the relaxed vibe of the '70s, which was reflected in the beauty look. The easygoing styles of Brooke Shields and Jerry Hall were sourced by the designer. The star of the makeup look was the feline smoky eye that shined with a topcoat of lip gloss.

Hair: Stephanie Hayes for Batiste

Makeup: Dani Fonseca for Temptu

Inspiration: Hayes wanted to create a look that evoked a busy, everyday woman. Hayes created a bend in each model's hair (not unlike the one created by putting damp hair in a ponytail), then made the ends look wet with a touch of hair serum.

Hair: Paul Hanlon for Tresemmé

Makeup: Diane Kendal for Lancome

Inspiration: Post-workout updos were the inspiration at Prabal. Hanlon used mousse to create a textured look similar to a sweaty ponytail.

Hair: Orlando Pita for Chi Hair Care

Makeup: Val Garland for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: The collection was inspired by an onna-bugeisha, a female samurai warrior, which Pita reflected with a "hard" half-up style.

Makeup: Tom Pecheux for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: The collection was inspired by love, glamour, and romance. Pecheux cut false-lash strips into sections and placed them on the center of the lid for a sweet, dolly-girl effect.

Hair: Odile Gilbert for Kérastase

Inspiration: Gilbert's muse for this look was Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour. Gilbert's twist on the classic chignon bent the ends into a heart-like shape for the ultimate romantic updo.

Hair: Guido for Redken

Makeup: Diane Kendal for Nars Cosmetics

Inspiration: The surprising muse behind this ascetic beauty look? "Sneakerheads," aka people who fetishize sneakers. Kendal bleached the eyebrows to create a tonal, athletic look.

Hair: Rodney Cutler for Cutler/Redken Salon

Inspiration: Incorporating the collection's theme of travel, Cutler created a "natural, Mongolian tribal feel" with a taut fishtail that transformed into a sleek, long ponytail.

Makeup: Yadim for Maybelline New York

Inspiration: Using the collection's feel of tribal modernism, Yadim gave models different but similar makeup looks so they would appear as "part of the same tribe." He layered multiple bronze hues for this eye look to make the jewelry pop.

Hair: Matt Fugate for Chi Hair Care

Inspiration: A chic girl who just surfaced after a long swim. Fugate wanted a very modern, edgy look that wouldn't overpower the lip or the clothes.

Makeup: Inglot

Makeup: Katie Jane Hughes for Butter London

Inspiration: A modern take on African warrior beauty. The cat-eye-shaped liner across the crease is a pretty, feminine re-creation of war paint, while the red lip represents strength.

Hair: Jon Reyman for Aveda

Inspiration: Using Ann Yee's vision for the collection (unpredictable weather patterns), Reyman created frenzied waves that were smooth against the crown but expanded into a full ponytail.

Makeup: MAC Cosmetics

Makeup: Lauren Andersen for Avon

Inspiration: Andersen took cues from the Saharan theme of the collection by giving the models a barefaced matte look, then focusing on the inner corner of the eyes with sharp gel liner.

Hair: Orlando Pita for Chi Hair Care

Makeup: Val Garland for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: Using the collection's inspiration of timeless elegance, Pita styled the models' hair straight with lots of movement, embodying a "carefree spirit."

Hair: Didier Malige of Art Partner for René Furterer

Makeup: Lyne Desnoyers for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: A fresh take on mod. The eyebrow-grazing half bangs and pale lips were a nod to Twiggy.

Hair: Frank Rizzieri for Aveda

Inspiration: Cool-girl chic. By working with each girl's natural texture, hair type, and fall, Rizzieri created a look that was similar to fresh-from-the-shower, air-dried hair.

Hair: Guido for Redken

Inspiration: Guido incorporated the '70s vibe of the Coach collection by creating a low, sexy side part, then tucking the hair behind the ear.

Source: Lucas Flores Piran for Redken

Makeup: James Boehmer for Nars Cosmetics

Inspiration: The collection drew inspiration from two Indian artists, so Boehmer melded "traditional elements of the Indian culture and modern makeup" with matte skin, liquid liner, and bare lashes.

Hair: Lauren McCowan for Evo Hair

Hair: James Pecis for Beauty.com

Makeup: Polly Osmond for Beauty.com

Inspiration: "A young girl who falls for a bad boy." Hair was kept in a simple low pony with amped volume.

Makeup: Yadim for Maybelline New York

Inspiration: Masculinity vs. femininity. Yadim modernized the smoky eye by blending and applying two shades of Maybelline's Master Kajal ($8) eyeliner (Onyx Rush and Charcoal Skies).

Makeup: Tina Turnbow for Beauty.com

Inspiration: Fresh, ethereal, and dewy. Turnbow used cream blush for a natural flush and lined eyes with a brush loaded with mascara.

Hair: Marco Santini for Amika

Makeup: Gordon Espinet for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: A young girl who loves busy patterns, vibrant colors, and folkloric art. This inspiration is particularly clear in the floral crown Santini placed atop each model before she walked the runway. Espinet layered highlighter on top of blush for extra freshness.

Hair: Amy Farid for Oribe

Inspiration: The squeaky-clean coif of Marcia Brady. The hair was brushed with Mason Pearson tools for extra shine.

Hair: Antonio Corral Calero for Moroccanoil

Makeup: Yadim for Maybelline New York

Inspiration: Egyptian royalty. The hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail, while eyes flaunted a bold cat eye reminiscent of Cleopatra.

Makeup: Dick Page for Shiseido

Inspiration: Page translated the collection's theme of "synthetic mixed with natural" into an iridescent blue eye with warm skin.

Makeup: Yadim for Maybelline New York

Inspiration: Pop art. Yadim used orange lipstick along the lower lash line, keeping the rest of the face dewy and fresh.

Hair: Eugene Souleiman for Wella Professionals

Inspiration: Equestrian chic. Souleiman pulled the hair back into tight braids, slicking down the sides and top with mousse.

Hair: Odile Gilbert for Kérastase

Makeup: Diane Kendal for Lancome

Inspiration: To get that look of leftover eyeliner after you wash your face at night, Kendal applied eyeliner and then removed it with a bit of face serum in a Q-tip.

Hair: Esther Langham for Beauty.com

Makeup: Jason Araujo for Stila

Inspiration: A California girl at a flower market. The beauty look incorporated the brand's bold colors with a vibrant turquoise eye.

Hair: Recine for Moroccanoil

Makeup: Val Garland for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: Feminine yet digital. Garland placed iridescent pieces of cellophane around the models' eyes to give the effect of shattered glass.

Hair: Ted Gibson for Kérastase

Makeup: Romero J for MAC Cosmetics

Inspiration: Old Hollywood glam. Gibson created a soft side chignon to evoke that retro feel, adding a silver streak to make it modern.

Makeup: Uzo for Nars Cosmetics

Inspiration: A woman who appreciates the unexpected. Uzo gave the models fresh, radiant skin and added a surprising orange-red lip.
