Runway Hair &amp; Beauty Trends to Try This Fall

As fashion writers clamor to predict which styles will hit big this fall, it's very clear what direction beauty is heading: glowing skin, bursts of color, and low-maintenance tresses. Here, the top beauty trends that'll be turning heads soon enough.

Loose Ends

Rebecca Taylor
Soft and feminine, the designer's fall line paired delicate textures with free-flowing locks — the combination created an air of raw and effortless elegance.

Loose Ends

Tadashi Shoji
Paired with one of this spring's most popular styles — the extreme side part — models walked the runway with stick-straight tresses cascading over their shoulders.

Flashes of Pink

Prabal Gurung
Mixing retro finger curls with satin textures, stylists used pink extensions to add edge to an iconic beauty reference: the flapper.

Charlotte Ronson
Ronson's runway was stocked with motorcycle jackets, scull caps, heavy textures, and a streak of color — courtesy of model Charlotte Free's distinctive strands.

Statement Lip Color

The Lake & Stars
Elisa Flowers, the makeup artist behind the label's fall 2011 makeup look, says she wanted to achieve a sense of "eerie and feminine beauty." She used a defined rouge to complement the models' glowing skin — the look's primary focus.

Statement Lip Color

Lela Rose
With an otherwise natural face, the deep ruby shade at the Lela Rose runway show is a perfect example of statement lips.

Strong Brows

Jill Stuart
Another trend that was routinely featured on the runway was prominent, expertly shaped eyebrows — one of the most universal looks of Fall Fashion Week.

Strong Brows

Timo Weiland
The meticulously groomed and well-defined brows at the designer's presentation created beautiful symmetry and drama on otherwise naked faces.

Strong Brows

G-Star Raw
Known for their edgy, street inspired look, the makeup team at G-Star kept faces clean and brows strong.

Graphic Eyes

Y-3
"Highlight beautiful skin with a bold statement eye or lip," says Flowers, "but you must choose one or the other." The statement, or graphic eye, was one of the more popular looks this season — including the thick, geometrically top-lined eyes at Y-3.

Graphic Eyes

Cynthia Rowley
Using dark and heavy shadows, Cynthia Rowley's beauty look was completely dependent on a stark, standout eye.

Graphic Eyes

Venexiana
Taking the statement eye to new a level, stylists at Venexiana used extreme lash extensions to create a surreal blend of fantasy and feminine flourish.

Neutral Palette

Nicholas K
Stylists chose to forgo blushes and shadows and powdered down skin's natural color to a solid matte cream tone — essentially creating a canvas on which one feature could be dramatized.

Neutral Palette

Elise Overland
With a slight '70s vibe, the models showed off glowing, natural faces — a look so lovely not even this bright chartreuse dress could overshadow it.

Neutral Palette

Behnaz Sarafpour
In homage to natural beauty, models gave the allusion of being "makeup-less" as both eyes and lips were made-up in neural, flesh-toned pigments.

Slicked Back Tresses

Derek Lam
By taking pieces of hair at the top of the forehead and clipping them back, hairstylists at Derek Lam created a simple but functional way to frame the face and highlight bolder statements — in this case, intense silver eye shadow.

Slicked Back Tresses

Max Azria
Fresh-faced models' skin seemed even more luminous with their hair combed straight back from their foreheads in severe and minimalist styles.
