New trends in hair, eyes, lips, and face for Spring 2016

During Fashion week here in New York and abroad the runways are heating up with new looks for hair and makeup for Spring 2016.

Eyes for Spring 2016

Electric blue, turquoise, and aqua blue eyeliner was shown on the eyes of models at Marc Jacobs and Hugo Boss runway shows. The liner was placed on the top of the lids for this look.

All About the Face

Bits of lace, glitter and embellishments were applied to the faces of the models in the Givenchy show while bare faced, glowing skin is trending for Spring on models at Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler shows.

They all sported clean and natural skin free from heavy foundations. To achieve this look, if you want to use foundation, choose a lightweight tinted moisturizer. Tinted moisturizer still provides coverage but will still give you a dewy natural glow. And as for eyes sporting a bare-faced look, just apply a very thin layer of Vaseline to the top of your lids.

Speaking of eyes, pastel eyeshadows in pale pinks and sky blue were the color of choice for runway looks at the DVF show.

Lip Trends for Spring 2016

Cherry red and red apple colors were seen on the model's lips at Zac Posen and DKNY shows. Also, dark berry, burgundy vampy lip colors were popular at Givenchy. Flesh and nude tones and also soft pink lips are popular for the season. These lip colors were shown at the DVF shows.

Nail Trends for Spring 2016

Nails have a new take on the classic French. French style tips come in a variety of shapes, colors, and dimensions. Some nails were trimmed with color all the way around the nails.

Hair Style Trends for Spring 2016

Hairstyles are neat and easy. The classic ponytail is in season with it either braided or twisted. At J Mendel, high ponytails with a twist were also seen on models. Curly, natural and beach wave hair is also in style for Spring. These styles were shown at BCBG/Max Zaria, Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger. Also, pulled back hair with a messy bun or knot without bobby pins was another trend for hairstyles for spring. Theses looks were shown at Marchesa and Tory Burch.

Hair Ornament Trends for Spring 2016

Headbands, hair ornaments, barrettes and bedazzled hair jewelry were another major trend for Spring. This look is fun and fabulous and it can dress your hair up instantly.

New York Fashion Week: The looks are all about eyes, lips, and skin

Makeup trends for Spring 2015 saw a variety of looks on the runway. According to Harper's Bazaar, the makeup was fresh, vibrant, and sultry.

Inky black eyes dominated the runway in a variety of textures and applications. At Tommy Hilfiger, tight lining all the way around the eyes using liquid eyeliner was the look of the moment.

Fine wing tipped liner across the upper lids dominated the spring shows at Prada, Marchesa, and Saint Laurent.

Herve Leger models ruled the runway with thick liner as if was applied with a sharpie.

Faces this season are natural and bare created by using pink flesh tone colors for lips and cheeks for a barely there look. This means no mascara, foundation or anything. These looks were part of the shows at Calvin Klein, Tory Burch and Chanel.

Purple and lavender shadows replaced darker hues at Derk Lam and Vera Wang,

while smokey eyes rocked at Tom Ford and Diane Von Furstenberg to create the look of all night partying.

Brown shadows are popular also. Cool shades of taupe, warm sand and chocolate bronzes were the highlight at Gucci, Givenchy and Roberto Cavalli.

Another new and interesting trend we are seeing this season is pop art eye makeup with a new twist. Makeup artist used strips of leather, satin stickers and swipes of lipstick in place of eyeliner. Brands like Dior and Elie Saab incorporated this look into their spring looks.

Lashes are bold and over the top. Clumpy mascara, colored mascara and faux fluttery lashes were seen at Emilio Pucci, and Betsey Johnson.

At Dolce & Gabanna lips were a deep berry blend and Missoni and Burberry showed bright flirtatious orange reds.
