You might be sad that fashion month has come to an end. But you shouldn’t be too sad, because now you can experiment with all of the fresh runway beauty looks. Yesterday, we shared the top hair trends from the Fall 2017 shows, but there were so many stunning makeup looks in New York, London, Milan and Paris, too.
If you’re a brown shadow kind of girl, this is the season that will make you embrace color. While the fall runway makeup looks are generally more somber than their saturated spring cousins, the makeup trends on the fall runways were just as bold and bright. Colored mascaras, strong shapes and look-at-me shadows pumped things up, while graphic black eye makeup, just-bitten lips and glowing skin proved it wasn’t only about rainbow bright eyes. Read on for all the top makeup trends to try in 2017.

The Best Makeup Trends From the Fall 2017 Runways

Next-Level Lashes
Grab your liquid black eyeliner and a sparkly liner and start drawing strokes along your bottom lash line to recreate the makeup at Tadashi Shoji.

Shape Up
Makeup artist Lynsey Alexander gave models perfectly strobed skin at Mary Katrantzou, but it was the shot of baby blue on the inner corners of the eyes that captivated everyone. Alexander even bleached the brows to further enhance the graphic swipe of shadow.

Shape Up
Here's your proof that flicks aren't just reserved for your lid. Makeup artist Diane Kendal brought the flick up to the crease at the Prabal Gurung show. She added multiple points and she used a burnt orange shade to create it.

Christian Siriano ensured that the running tears makeup trend is still going strong. Eyes were painted with intentionally streaky orange tears.

Whether it was white or sunny yellow, Zadig & Voltaire's matte opaque shadows turned heads. The haphazardly applied pigment added to the appeal.

Lit From Within
Faces were stripped of bold colors at Marc Jacobs so flawless skin would be the focus. The softest wash of blush was added to the cheeks. Blink and you'll miss it.

Lit From Within
The updos with scarves woven in earned plenty of praise at Lela Rose, but the softly highlighted skin and whisper of pink blush were just as pretty. Clear lip gloss completed the me-but-enhanced look.
-
Lit From Within
Altuzarra was all about the no-makeup makeup look. At first glance, you may not even think that models are wearing makeup. And that's exactly the goal of the look. Brows were naturally defined, while a dab of pink was applied to the top of the cheekbones and on lips.
-
Lit From Within
Glowing, moisturized skin was the name of the game at Adam Selman. Bold colors were left off the face so the healthy, radiant complexions remained the focus.

Byblos limited the electric shadows to yellow on the inner corners of the eye and a punchy sky blue shade on the lower lash line. Make no mistake, the look still had plenty of drama.

Ready for ROYGBIV
House of Holland is never one to shy away from color when it comes to clothes or beauty looks.

The sheer glossy finish and sparkly inner corners were a change to the numerous matte opaque shadows at the shows.
-
Ready for ROYGBIV
Makeup artist Tom Pecheux restricted himself to two shades at the Alberta Ferretti show, but the black and crimson eye makeup stood out as much as any of the rainbow beauty looks.
-
Just Bitten
Preen took things up a notch for its Fall 2017 beauty look by coloring outside the lines for an I-messed-up-my-lipstick-while-eating finish.
-
Just Bitten
Ditch your lip liner and embrace soft lines on your lipstick a la the beauty look at the Jenny Packham show. Black mascara complemented a softly smudged red lip.
-
Just Bitten
Natural eyes and glowing skin enhanced the just-bitten berry lips at Temperley London. The color was focused on the center of the pout, so the edges still showed models' natural lip colors.
-
Beyond Basic Black
Grab your eyeliner and take a cue from the multiple lines that were painted on eyes at the Marni fashion show. There may not have been one clear shape, but the look still had a unified finish.
-
Beyond Basic Black
Pat McGrath helped put a sophisticated spin on your angsty teen punk look at Versace with strong black eyeliner that extended out and upward. A neutral lip kept it fresh.

Beyond Basic Black
The Blonds expanded our definition of the eye area with elongated black eyeshadow that extended out from the outer corners of the eye into the hairline.
