"The 8 Best Makeup Looks From New York Fashion Week\\nNew York is an exciting city. It&amp;#39;s fast, it&amp;#39;s bright, it&amp;#39;s crowded, and it never sleeps. But at Fashion Week, the makeup can sometimes be a snooze. We&amp;#39;re happy to report that this was not the case for fall 2013. Lips were bold, lids were sparkly, and we were very, very excited.\\nExcuse my fashion speak, but these eyes were *everything.* They were bright, they were sparkly, and they were beautiful. They also required a lot of products. Makeup artist Diane Kendal started by applying bright blue cream shadow ([Nars Ubangi Eye Paint,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eyeliner/2013/nars-eye-paint-ubangi) out this fall) all over the lids. On top of that she brushed a mix of vivid cobalt and black powder shadows ([Nars Single Eyeshadow in Outremer](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2013/nars-eyeshadow-outremer) and [Night Flight](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/nars-eyeshadow-night-flight)), taking the blue all the way past the outer corners about an inch. Then came black cream liner on top and bottom, and glitter. Lots of glitter: Rose gold on the inner half of the eyes, bronze in the middle, bronze on the outer half, and a little gold added to the middle of the lids.\\nKendal wowed us with another beautiful blue eye at Jason Wu and finally gave us a good reference of what the \\\"I\\\" in \\\"ROYGBIV\\\" looks like. She mixed together blue and purple to create a rich, luxurious shade of indigo inspired by the color of the finale dress of Wu's collection. She started with purple liner, lining the top and bottom lashes and drawing and filling in the cat-eye shape she wanted. Next came blue cream shadow, a product Wu created for his first cosmetics collection with Lanc\u00F4me (out this fall), which she layered on top, taking it out past the outer corners and underneath the lower lashes. The final step was shimmery lilac cream that not only created that interesting shade of indigo, but softened the graphic shadow for a more feminine effect suitable for the designer's ultra-ladylike collection.\\nA cat eye has become somewhat of a Sui signature\u2014and one makeup artist Pat McGrath is happy to reinvent again and again. This season McGrath used black, as jet black as possible, to create the dramatic shape, which stretched past the outer corners to a point so sharp you were scared to get too close. Underneath the lower lashes was an equally cool detail: black dots of liquid liner and a thick white line along the inner rims. \\\"It looks cool, young\u2014it makes the eyes appear bigger, the lashes thicker, and I think it's just interesting,\\\" explained McGrath of the effect. McGrath topped it all off with [CoverGirl LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/mascara/2012/covergirl-lashblast-clump-crusher-mascara) which she layered on and on without one single unsightly clump.\\n\\\"This is how young women actually wear makeup,\\\" said makeup artist Lucia Pieroni of the brown-rose lip at Vera Wang. And we don't know any young woman who wouldn't want to try this moody, but pretty, look that felt a little bit '90s, a little vampire-like, and full-on luxurious and cool. If you're wondering what color it was, it was a mix of two: [Cl\u00E9 de Peau lipstick in 308,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/lipstick/2013/cle-de-peau-lipstick-308) a deep rose, on the center of the mouth, followed by [306,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/lipstick/2013/cle-de-peau-lipstick-306) a berry shade, toward the outer corners of the mouth.\\nMost of the models walked the runway at DVF with a huge grin, and why wouldn't they, when they had such a badass shade on their lips? The best part? It only took one product\u2014[M.A.C. Chromatographic Pencil in Process Magenta](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/lip-liner/2013/mac-chromagraphic-pencil-process-magenta)\u2014to pull it off. That, plus a little foundation, a dab of highlighter at the inner corners of the eyes, and a few coats of black mascara, and that was it. The models looked fresh, healthy, and happy\u2014as makeup artist James Kaliardos described it, a \\\"life-of-the-party look.\\\"\\nThe brownish red lip at 3.1 Phillip Lim was as covetable as his entire collection (no, really, we want every piece). Makeup artist Francelle Daly hit the nail on the head as to why we love this makeup so much when she called it \\\"sophisticated with an edge.\\\" It looked expensive and luxurious, but there was something rebellious and subversive about it, too\u2014the beauty equivalent of wearing an evening dress with a leather jacket. To create the look, she lined and filled in the lips with a cinnamon red color courtesy of [Nars Lip Liner Pencil in Kenya.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/lip-liner/2013/nars-lip-liner-kenya) On top she layered a dark chocolate eye pencil ([Nars Eye Liner in Mambo](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eyeliner/2013/nars-eyeliner-mambo)) for that gorgeous chocolate-cherry shade. And what do you complement that with? Peach blush, highlighted cheekbones, and plain old taupe shadow.\\nMakeup artist Dick Page always knows how to give classic makeup a quirky, modern twist. In the case of the graphic black shadow at Michael Kors, it was the square shape and lilac-pink highlights that had us drooling. And it's not hard to re-create: He applied black cream shadow from the middle of the lids and past the outer corners, squaring off the ends to create a block shape (which was only enhanced thanks to champagne-colored highlighter applied on the cheekbones). Next, he brushed on a precious purply pink shadow on the inner half of the eyes and underneath the brows. He took that same color and put it on the lips, which he created in typical Page fashion\u2014by breaking the beauty rules. The unique color was a mix of petal pink lipstick ([Shiseido Perfect Rouge in Fantasia (RS 745)](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/lipstick/2013/shiseido-perfect-rouge-lipstick-rs-745)) and shell pink cream shadow ([Shimmering Cream Eye Shadow in Pale Shell (PK 214)](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2013/shiseido-shimmering-cream-eye-shadow-pk214)).\\nThe dark smoky eye at Marc Jacobs couldn't be ignored, and that was the whole point. \\\"Marc is always attracted to a certain of girl that is a little bit edgy, with a touch of rock and roll,\\\" said makeup artist Fran\u00E7ois Nars. \\\"We looked at pictures of Joan Jett and Marianne Faithfull and tried to replicate that feeling.\\\" That feeling came courtesy of black liner (traced around the whole eye), black and brown shadow (blended all around the eyes using [Nars Eye Shadow in Bengali](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2012/nars-single-eyeshadow-bengali) and [Eye Shadow Duo in Pandora](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2012/nars-duo-eyeshadow-pandora)), and a thick line of white along the inner rims ([Nars Larger Than Life Eye Liner in Santa Monica Blvd.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eyeliner/2013/nars-eyeliner-santa-monica-blvd)). To add an extra dose of cool, Nars topped the lips with clear gloss."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
