Tom Ford
LAUNCHMETRICS SPOTLIGHT
Makeup artist Pat McGrath called the glittery black eyeliner look at Tom Ford "slightly dangerous, but very expensive." This bubbly cat-eye with a rounded wing may just be the new makeup trend of the season (only time will tell)—and it's pretty easy to DIY. Backstage, makeup artists first drew the shape with a black liner (liquid is easiest), and then used an eye gloss as glue to help the glittery eyeshadow stick

It would only make sense that the models walking the Fenty Puma show would have a face full of the brand-new Fenty Beauty. The shade on full display was Trophy Wife, the yellow-gold highlighter, which was swept across the cheekbones and applied on the inner corner of each eye.

Alexander Wang
LAUNCHMETRICS SPOTLIGHT
Backstage at Alexander Wang, makeup artist Diane Kendal wanted the girls to look positively healthy and fresh. That meant a peachy liquid blush swept across the entire cheekbone, a new Orgasm lip balm swiped across lips, and a sparkly loose Orgasm highlighter (coming soon) swept across the eyelids for a warm, subtle glow.

Jason Wu
LAUNCHMETRICS SPOTLIGHT
Hours before the Jason Wu show, makeup artist Yadim got a text from Wu himself asking to switch up the entire beauty look. Instead of just creating glow, bronzed skin—he wanted to add a graphic element. Yadim whipped up this: a rounded, dark green cat-eye that looked as if it has been stamped on with a pinky finger.

Yadim used the dark green shade seen here, and a rounded shadow brush, to create the unusual wing shape. The rest of the makeup involved a little highlight, contour, and lip balm, plus a few faux freckles traced across the models' cheeks.

Jeremy Scott

Cushnie et Ochs
LAUNCHMETRICS SPOTLIGHT
Makeup artist Gato called the Cushnie et Ocs beauty look "the kind of makeup that remains after a party." If only. His version of morning-after beauty starts with a lip stain. He applied Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick in Cruel Ruby (launching soon) to the lips before he started the rest of the makeup. Then he used a makeup wipe to lift the color away, leaving just a stain. The clumpy lashes were achieved by applying several coats of the Colossal Big Shot Mascara and pinching them together before the formula dried.
