"   Goth eyes at Nicholas K. Photo: Getty Images  Yes, we&amp;#039;ve only been through one official day of New York Fashion Week, but a few beauty trends have already started to emerge. Polished Ponytails Formality continues to reign supreme backstage; the fall of 2012 will not celebrate a sloppy gym-ready `do. Monika Chiang, Alexander Tome and BCBG&amp;#039;s iterations are all perfectly intentional. At Chiang, the hair was pulled back into a nape-height ponytail and fastened tightly enough to yield a little bounce. At Wednesday night&amp;#039;s QVC fashion presentation, super-sized ponytails were created using a figure 8 technique with hair pins and a flatiron and at BCBG yesterday morning, angular faux bangs (created by placing the front pieces across the forehead before pinning them to the side) framed a sleek, shiny, straightened low pony. Natural Nude Cheeks It looks like nude skin with angular definition instead of rosy red cheeks will be all the rage next fall. Models boasted sylph-like cheeks on the runway at Costello Tagliapietra, highlighted rather than upstaged by a structured updo. At Richard Chai, the look was all about androgyny with a dash of &amp;quot;1950s mess.&amp;quot; MAC Cosmetics&amp;#039; lead makeup artist James Kaliardos sculpted cheekbones using a taupe hue underneath the cheekbones and on the temples for a chiseled cheek while Rachel Comey instituted a slightly warmer take, veering into the city limits of bronze, but not quite passing through. Single-shade Shadow Many designers are choosing to glam up their models&amp;#039; gaze using a single color effect, applied around the eye. Katie Gallagher&amp;#039;s girls told a very sci-fi story with their alien-green decorated lids. At Honor, James Boehmer for NARS dusted on matte grey shadow for a seriously smoky stare and lastly, at Nicholas K, burnished bronze around the circumference of the eyes yielded a goth sensibility.
