The Best Makeup Looks from The Spring 2019 Runways
The coolest makeup looks from the spring 2019 runways.
When you think spring makeup, you probably think of glowing and dewy skin, bronzed cheeks, and shades of pretty pastels. The spring 2019 runways had all those things—but it also had pops of electric pink of the lips and lashes, flecks of golden glitter, and metallic foiled lips. Ahead, 62 of our favorite lip, lashes, cheeks, and eye looks for spring from the designer runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris.
Tom Ford
Makeup artist Diane Kendal created a golden smoky eye for the '70s-inspired Tom Ford show. Her team of makeup artists meticulously blended the eyeshadow and liner until the look was hazy and glam.

Rodarte
Makeup artist James Kaliardos used all Nars Cosmetics to create the colorful eye, lip, and cheek look at Rodarte. Models walked the runway wearing either a pink, yellow, or blue eyeshadow swept in graphic—but still soft—shape across the eyelid. The lip pigment Don't Stop, a bright poppy red, looked perfect on every skin tone.

Ulla Johnson
Pink mascara never looked so pretty backstage at Ulla Johnson. Models also wore one of spring's biggest trends: a lightly stained pink lip.

Jeremy Scott
“The look is a bold foil-like lip in neutral shades. The metallic edginess is in keeping with the brashness of youth," said makeup artist Kabuki backstage at Jeremy Scott. To get the look, he first used MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil in Edge To Edge then added Mixing Medium Eyeliner in thin layer over the entire lip. He then used a combination of MAC Dazzleshadow Liquid in LoveYourself, and MAC Glitter in Pink.
Brandon Maxwell
For Brandon Maxwell's Texas-inspired show, models like Bella Hadid stomped the runway wearing a classic cat-eye flick with a touch of pink eyeshadow. The inspiration? "Baby barbies in Texas," according to MAC Cosmetics.
Hellessy
Red lips and a pop of red blush—with minimal eye makeup—backstage at Hellessy.
Jonathan Simkhai
Makeup artist Grace Lee for Maybelline New York "juxtaposed the ethereal white and yellow fabrics in the Edwardian-inspired collection with a flushed cheek or berry-stained lip," the brand stated in a release after the show. “The look is innocent but strong,” she said.
The Blonds
If Disney Villains were also Sephora VIB Rouge members you'd get the high-impact look from The Blonds. We've never seen a Disney villain wear electric neon eyeliner and black lips—but we'll take it.
Kate Spade
To honor the late designer's sparkle, models at Kate Spade wore a scattering of gold glitter across their eyelids.
Christian Siriano
A stripe of acidic lime eyeliner was the only makeup statement needed backstage at Christian Siriano.
Tibi
Sometimes the only piece of makeup you need is a sharp black eyeliner, traced along your inner waterline. With fresh and natural skin, black eyeliner has never looked so cool.
Tadashi Shoji
The glitter trend may never die. Case in point: Tadashi Shoji's galaxy-inspired glittery eyes and nails.
Pamella Roland
A no-makeup makeup look (save for a healthy cream flush) backstage at Pamella Roland.
Custo Barcelona
A wash of soft metallic eyeshadow got a sweet and feminine touch thanks to sheer berry lips and red nails.
Noon by Noor
One of spring's biggest trends is shaping up to be super-glossy skin with sheer, minimal makeup done in neutral and nude shades, like seen at Noon By Noor.
Monse
Models at Monse wore subtle gold eyeshadow traced along their top and bottom lashlines and flicked out at the end like eyeliner with a stained pink lip.
Badgley Mischka
Super-glossy skin with a sheer wash of fresh pink color on the eyes, lips, and cheeks backstage at Badgley Mischka.
Nicole Miller
Gunmetal smoky eyes with no other visible makeup was all that was needed backstage at Nicole Miller.
Longchamp
Nude lips, contoured skin, and kohl-rimmed smoky eyes at Longchamp.
Lanyu
A painterly eye fit for a museum at Lanyu.
