Candy Apple Red Lips

This season, the brilliant red pout is officially back with a vengeance, as evidenced on the runway by the bevy of candy apple-toned lip colours. At Jason Wu, shockingly red matte lips contrasted against a barely-there makeup look and flawless skin. Meanwhile, Céline paired a slightly understated red lipstick shade with full brows and funky winged black eyeliner. Oscar de la Renta’s approach to the vivid scarlet lip trend was incredibly feminine, with glowing complexions and darkly lined eyes showcasing the colour.

Pretty Pink Eyeshadow  

If pink eyeshadow strikes you as childlike or passé, you may want to take another look at the spring catwalks. Jill Stuart displayed delicate pink shadow in all its glory, as the soft hue made a splash with a 1970s inspired twist. Pink eyeshadow was applied on the lower lash line as well, with luscious long lashes and clear lips adding youthful beauty. At Altuzarra, the eyeshadow look was a shade of peach-toned pink, while Dior featured pale pink shadow and a matching natural pout.

Brilliant Blue Eye Makeup

Bright blues are clearly en vogue for spring eye makeup looks, with a variety of shades stealing a spotlight on the runways. If you’re feeling the spring blues, embrace this colour with deep cobalt blue eyeliner to channel the beauty statement at Boss. On the other hand, the Sonia Rykiel runway showcased deep navy blue liner with a hint of shimmer. For the ultimate spring look, Nanette Lepore paired neon blue eyelids with a dash of vibrant teal on the lower lids.
