The Best Spring Makeup Trends to Try Now from Fashion Week
Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York is over, but we are still enthralled with the beautiful hair and makeup looks for Spring/Summer 2015 that we saw backstage. Dewy skin, with barely there makeup was the front-runner among most designers as the makeup of choice.
Soft lips paired with pastel eyes were a close runner-up as was the perennial smoky eye — albeit a soft smoke… Bold brows are always in, and were a staple on the runway. And if you want a break from traditional black eyeliner, try white line! From minimalistic to full-on glamazon, the backstage makeup looks are easily duplicated with the right tools.
