We saw taupe eyeshadow across the international runways for Fall/Winter 2014. The brownish-gray shade is so versatile. It goes from smokey and shaded to absolutely natural. We’re crushing on this hue.

2) Bat Those Lashes!

This winter, it’s going to be all about the eyes. So flaunt long lashes by applying heavy coats of mascara and don’t be afraid to play with falsies. They can really change up your face. Don’t forget to coat your bottom lashes as well. We saw some amazing eye lashes on the Gucci and Versace runways.

3) Ballerina Buns

Prada, Altazurra, and Diane Von Furstenburg saw a lot of tight chignons or ballerina buns. Pull your hair back (use a donut if that helps) and flaunt your flawless face! It’s the quintessential model off-duty look.

4) Don’t Be Afraid Of Color

But limit it to the eyes. Go the Chanel way and use a range of crazy hues as eyeliner. Quick tip: mix a little bit of water to broken pigments of eyeshadow and you’ll have the color of eyeliner you desire.

5) Shimmer & Metals

If shimmery makeup is your best friend then here’s your opportunity to go crazy. The runways saw everything from bronze lips to sparkly lids. Just make sure you stick to emphasizing one feature and keep your lips colored in more earth-toned shades.

P.S – We’ve got some amazing lipstick suggestions for the winter!
