Cheery, bright-pink cheeks matched the flirty frocks at Anna Sui, Stella McCartney, and Nanette Lepore. "For a natural-looking, wintry flush, we wanted the face to look windburned," says Shiseido Artistic Director Dick Page, who used sponges to blend blush from the apples toward the hairline backstage at Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Short bowl cuts bobbed down the runways at 3.1 Phillip Lim, Jeremy Scott, and Kai Kuhne. "My inspiration was the '60s bubble bob," says Fekkai stylist Andre Rodman, who hand-cut wigs to give the Rachel Roy models a uniform android look. "I flat-ironed the hair and added Fekkai Glossing Sheer Shine Mist for an ultramodern effect."

"Focusing on the lower lashes is very rock and roll, yet a little more mysterious and poetic," says Nars makeup artist Ayako, who cut false bottom lashes in half and attached them to the outer corners at 3.1 Phillip Lim. "In real life, I'd draw a few hairs in with a brow pencil and use a mascara wand to blend in the real lashes."

Monochromatic contouring is back, with a nude makeup palette at Burberry, Vera Wang, and MaxMara. "Monochromatic eye and cheek contouring makes the face sharper and tougher," explains Page, who used matte bronzer on top of foundation to create depth at Alexander Wang. "Keep the beige lip moist...a matte, nude mouth is a little creepy," he adds.

Full, defined, and sometimes elongated brows gave faces a slightly masculine strength at Tuleh, Gianfranco Ferré, and Ann Demeulemeester. "Powder adds definition to the brows without being overly dramatic," says Nars makeup pro Diane Kendal, who emphasized brows at Hervé Léger and Thakoon. "Skipping mascara and liner keeps the look fresh," she says.

Messy buns were an unfussy answer to updos at Rag & Bone, Jil Sander, and Thakoon. "Tease the hair slightly to make it fuller. Then smooth the top with a comb and twist the hair into a low chignon," instructs Redken stylist Guido Palau, who created the easy knots at Ralph Lauren.

From brick to berry, bold lips were the biggest fall trend, appearing at Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, and Lanvin, to name a few. "Superintense lipstick is strong and pretty, but skip the eye makeup for a more funky, Debbie Harry-ish look," suggests makeup artist Bobbi Brown, who mixed purple lipstick with a black cream pigment at Rachel Roy but suggests a glossier, sheer dark lip for real life.

Like a post-summer bronzer alternative, rose-gold metallics gilded lids, lips, and cheekbones at Alessandro Dell'Acqua, Donna Karan, and Miu Miu. Inspired by sepia photos from the 1930s, MAC makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury layered copper and gold powder on top of a muted-brown cream shadow at Donna Karan. The result? A rich, rosy sheen across the eyelids.

Evening eyes assumed a distinctly '80s shape at Roberto Cavalli, Versace, and Lela Rose this season. "For a modern take on '80s makeup, define the top and bottom lids with black liner first, then sweep a strong color out toward the temples," suggests P&G Global Creative Design Director Pat McGrath, who used this technique with maroon shadow at Gucci. Adds makeup artist François Nars, who gave each model a different look at Marc Jacobs, "Black is the base of everything. This nightclub look is black pumped up with colors like deep-forest green, silvery metallics, and purple plums."

Gel is back, and it's the simplest bad-hair-day solution this season. Wet-looking styles were spotted backstage at Yves Saint Laurent, Narciso Rodriguez, and Givenchy. "Shiny hair is very graphic and sculptural, but when you do a middle part and sleek hair, it can also look Indian or Spanish," says T3 stylist Orlando Pita, who went with a deep side part at Michael Kors. "It looks more androgynous than if it were all slicked back."
