Graphic Fringe\r\nSEEN AT: Sportmax, Dolce & Gabbana.\r\nGET IT: The bold, blunt bangs-which often accompany short bobs-were all the rage in the \'20s, when silent-movie star Louise Brooks wore them. Orlando Pita, who whipped locks into shape at Marni and Vera Wang, saw many models at the shows sporting them, but acknowledges that they were frequently hairpieces-as the real thing comes with a downside: \"Some face shapes can\'t take severe bangs, and unless you\'re going to be trimming constantly, they can be hard to grow out.\"

Romantic Rosy Cheeks \r\nSEEN AT: Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta. \r\nGET IT: Instead of looking like a product of the sunbed, \"cheeks on the runways appear just out of the bath-healthy and rejuvenated,\" says Bianca Alexander, director of makeup artistry for MAC, who worked on spring shows for Zac Posen and Narciso Rodriguez. Get a rosy glow by double-dipping: First layer on a rosy cream blush, then top with a brighter-than-you-usually-choose pink powder blush. Concentrate the color on the apples of your cheeks.

Nouveau Metallic Eyeshadow \r\nSEEN AT: Donna Karan Collection, Versace, Missoni. \r\nGET IT: \"Today\'s metallic tones are more earthy than flashy, which means they\'re flattering to a wider array of skin tones,\" says Alexander, ho recommends matching your metallic shadow to your accessories for a statement-making outcome. \"We always ask the designers whether their models will be sporting silver or gold, then do the eyes accordingly.\" For the prettiest effect, pick cream shadow if your skin is dry and powder if it\'s normal, and keep the color most intense at your lashline, diffusing it with your finger or a makeup brush as you spread it over the crease.

Renaissance Pinups \r\nSEEN AT: Donna Karan Collection, Stella McCartney, Zac Posen, Sonia Rykiel. \r\nGET IT: \"I really want to encourage women to bust out of their straight-hair rut,\" says Murenu, who predicts that spring 2007\'s buns, braids, and twists will be as big as the ponytails of seasons past. \"A lot of the designers were asking for them,\" says Pita. \"They were fed up with long, nothing hair!\" Don\'t worry if you\'re not a hair pro. Done in an amateur fashion, these styles look more modern.

Expressionist Bouffant \r\nTHE INSPIRATION: Egon Scheile, Seated Woman with Bent Knee, 1917.\r\nSEEN AT: Yves Saint Laurent. \r\nGET IT: \"Hair is going in a new direction,\" says Luigi Murenu of Kerastase, who coiffed the catwalkers at Yves Saint Laurent, Viktor & Rolf, Ungaro, and Roberto Cavalli. \"The styles are more dramatic.\" To copy this look, gather hair into a twist in back, then saturate roots of your crown with volumizing spray (we like Redken Workforce 09 Flexible Volumizing Spray). Blowdry while lifting hair straight up with your brush. Finish by using a curling iron on the loose ends.

Pop Art-Colored Eyes \r\nTHE INSPIRATION: Andy Warhol, Marilyn, 1967. \r\nSEEN AT: D&G.\r\nGET IT: Cartoonish shadow shades were spotted all over the spring runways, and they\'re more wearable than you think. \"Apply them as accents rather than covering your entire lide,\" says Nicolas Degennes, who created Givenchy\'s spring makeup collection. Adds Tom Pecheux of Shiseido, who worked at Derek Lam and Doo.Ri: \"Keep the rest of your makeup minimal.\"

Vintage Hairwear. \r\nTHE INSPIRATION: Johannes Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring, circa 1665.\r\nSEEN AT: Prada, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Valentino. \r\nGET IT: Vintage-style headgear perked up otherwise understated hair, reports Guido Palau, who created the looks at Marc by Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, and Versace. Accessories are extremely practical in general, adds Pita: \"They are a great way to grow out a haircut and can balance your facial features.\" Example: If you think your ears stick out, pull hair back into a pretty comb but let a few loose pieces cover up part of your ears. Aim for imperfection; disheveled is sexy.

Modernist Red Lips \r\nTHE INSPIRATION: James Rosenquist, Study for Marilyn, 1962. \r\nSEEN AT: Valentino, Anna Sui. \r\nGET IT: \"Wear red lipstick, and people will listen to you!\" says Degennes. For real read-my-lips intensity, Degennes recommends experimenting with a range of shades and finishes rather than trying to find the one that perfectly matches your skin tone-because let\'s face it, red is never going to be the most natural look. The proper application? \"Line first with the same color, then dab on lipstick with your fingertips.\"

Baroque Brows \r\nTHE INSPIRATION: El Greco, A Lady in a Fur Wrap, circa 1577 . \r\nSEEN AT: Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, DSquared2 \r\nGET IT: \"Big, dark brows are back,\" says Alexander, who gives much of \r\nthe credit to model-on-the-rise Hilary Rhoda, seen here and in recent Ralph Lauren and Blumarine ads. (Still, Brooke Shields will always be our highbrow icon!) Bushing yours up is easy: Only pluck the hairs that fall way below your natural browline, then apply a generous coating of eyebrow wax, which makes hair appear fuller when topped with brow powder.
