27 Best Beauty Moments From the Fall 2017 Runways
-
Ready for Red
The usual smoky eye was given a vivid twist at Alberta Ferretti thanks to a hit of red shadow on the lid. Combined with a neutral lipstick and a tousled updo, it gave us fresh date-night makeup ideas.
-
Lips and Tips
Marc Jacobs will make you want to match your lipstick to your nails thanks to this black cherry manicure and coordinating vampy lip.
-
Mega Mouth
Gucci had numerous beauty looks, but it was the show's next-level twist on glitter lips that turned the most heads. Makeup artist Pat McGrath applied crystals over models' pouts. To make the look even more dramatic, she exaggerated the cupid's bow.
-
Crease Chic
No fashion month would be complete without a gorgeous beauty look from Chanel. For Fall 2017, makeup artist Tom Pecheux added a touch of 60s chic with white eyeshadow, defined creases and pink lipstick. Hairstylist Sam McKnight complemented the makeup with exaggerated Barbarella-inspired bouffants finished off with thick bejeweled headbands that sat right on the hairline.
-
Braid Days
Let Jill Stuart inspire you to swap your usual side crown French braid for two face-framing strands. Combined with straight hair and a center part, the look had an effortless vibe.
-
Mix Master
Enhancing the eyes with different primary shadows was a big theme on the Fall 2017 runways. Oscar de la Renta gave one of the best examples with this unexpected soft purple and red combination created by makeup genius extraordinaire Tom Pecheux.
-
Orange Delight
Models' lips at the Eudon Choi show were painted with a matte fluorescent orange lipstick that silenced any thoughts that deep, vampy lipsticks are the only shades for the fall and winter months.
-
Tears of Gold
The long red talons at Jeremy Scott were amazing, but they couldn't quite distract us from the major bottom eyelashes models sported on the runway...or this single gold teardrop appliqué.
-
Wound Up
Concept Korea put its own spin on the popular boxer braids hairstyle by decorating the plaits with trendy hair piercing accessories.
-
The Right Line
The quickest (and most gorgeous) way to update a plain manicure? Try adding a thin silver strip three-quarters of the way down long ivory talons a la the Cushnie et Ochs show.
-
Pop of Pink
Tibi made a case for not painting all of your nails. Manicurist Jin Soon Choi only painted certain digits with washes of color, while the rest were left au naturel.
-
Creamsicle Colors
Emilio Pucci was all about different colored mascaras and bold nail looks. These saturated orange eyelashes with the pastel sherbet nails were just one of the many gorgeous combinations.
-
No Smudging
Francesca Liberatore came up with a fresh version of the Instagram-favorite ombre lip. Models' pouts started off a vivid purple on the top lip and morphed to a petal pink on the bottom.
-
Triple Threat
Balmain was an all-around beauty winner thanks to its low ponytails with three braids on the crown and the graphic black and brown eyeshadow.
-
Pearly Whites
Manish Arora often has some of the most detailed beauty looks at fashion month and the Fall 2017 show was no exception. Models' faces were decorated with pearl-like beads. It may not be the most wearable look IRL, but it won the runway.
-
Think Pink
Hello, romance. A wash of pink all over models' faces at the Bora Aksu presentation produced a very pretty look. It is as easy to pull off as a monochromatic brown version.
-
Run Down
Christian Siriano made sure that the tear makeup trend continued into Fall 2017 with models sporting burnt orange "dripping" makeup.
-
Two Tone
This wasn't just your average red lip at Jason Wu. Look closely and you will see that makeup artist Yadim Carranza actually applied a warm orange shade on the top lip and a cherry red one on the bottom.
-
Tie It Up
Marchesa was one of a few fashion houses who topped models' locks with delicate bows. The green velvet ribbon tied into the loose updo was très chic.
-
Flower Power
And the award for best use of face paint goes to...Tata Naka. Models brought the floral theme home with faces decorated with flower patterns and blooming beautiful hair accessories.
-
Retro Modern
Elisabetta Franchi updated the classic sculpted waves and red manicure by mixing them with a thick turquoise cat eye. Factor in Coco Rocha's platinum blond hair and it's enough to make you want to grab the bleach in addition to your bright eyeliner and red nail polish.
-
See Stripes
Forget false lashes and mascara. Models' bottom lash lines were painted with alternating strokes of black and glitter eyeliner at the Tadashi Shoji show.
-
Ditch Your Black
Nicholas K made a good case for forgoing your tried-and-true black eyeliner in favor of a shimmering copper shade with this cat eye.
-
White There
Tome showed another enviable version of fashion month's popular low ponytail with a straight finish and side bangs. We cannot forget about that 60s-inspired white crease, though.
-
Mad for Monochrome
Bottega Veneta will have everyone adding a soft neutral orange pigment to their makeup bags because of this gorgeous look. Combined with a relaxed pompadour, it was pure beauty goals.
-
Lime Design
Models' eyes got a summery vibe with flicks of bright eyeliner at Wunderkind paired with natural faces. This lime green liner was especially fresh.
-
Just Bitten
It was all about effortless beauty at Jenny Packham. The red lips had a just-bitten effect thanks to their soft finish. Hair was equally fuss-free with a side part and the front layers gathered to one side.
-
Slice of Silver
Do you see it? That's not the reflection. At Monse, models' nails were painted an inky black save for the outer 1.5 nails, which were painted silver.
