Well, it looks like you can keep wearing your bright blue Spring eyeliner come Fall. We spotted the hue numerous times on the catwalk this season in shades from turquoise to royal. We especially like to add blue under the eyes as an unexpected pop of color like this look from Creatures of the Wind Fall 2014 show at New York Fashion Week.

As seen on the Tibi Fall 2014 runway during New York Fashion Week, braids aren't going anywhere. Cornrows, crown, and fishtail types all made an appearance this season. If only these looks came with how-to videos attached!
There's only one word to describe the eye makeup look that reached all the international catwalks: meow! At New York Fashion Week, Cushnie et Ochs showed this sleek, retro version, but below you'll also find more modern takes on the classic liner look.
A ponytail is a ponytail is a ponytail, right? Wrong! For the Fall 2014 season, the bad-hair-day updo got a modern makeover. The team at Hervé Léger added streaks of color, for example. You'll be surprised what you can do with just a hair tie on hand.
Fall 2014 saw the resurgence of the Twiggy trend at shows like Peter Som. Typically, lower lashes are overlooked, but this season, makeup artists brought those tiny hairs into focus by adding tons of mascara. Read: clumping and smudging can be a good thing!
There are very few women who would feel comfortable coming down the catwalk without makeup and their hair undone, but for Fall 2014, we discovered less is best. Brands like Lacoste in New York took the minimalist approach, but, of course, these models look fabulous with or without product.
Even though dark lips make an appearance every Fall, we can't get enough. This year, there were oxblood reds, aubergine purples, and nearly black hues on the lips. As seen at Zimmermann in New York, the best approach is to leave the rest of the face nude and luminous.
No shade is more feminine than pink, and this season we saw the color on eyes, lips, and cheeks. At Diane von Furstenberg the lids were covered in a pale, pastel version. Globally, the decision has been made: being girly is good.
At Marc Jacobs Fall 2014 presentation, models wore bleached brows, but that wasn't the only place we saw it. From New York to Paris, unique arches got lots of attention.
