Fashion month may feel like years ago, but the beauty looks from this past season are anything but passé. This fall it's all about experimentation! Do you feel like getting moody with a purple lip? Then let the Rodarte vampire brides inspire you. And if the whole walking dead thing isn't your vibe, may we suggest some futuristic tiger eyes (they pair perfectly with a face mask!) and a few so-bright-you-need-shades shadows?
Ahead, the top beauty trends from the Fall 2020 NYFW runways that will inspire you to create the perfect autumn beauty look in your own bathroom. Tattoo eye hearts, anyone?
Rodarte's Vampire Bride
The mood was vampire brides for Rodarte Fall 2020. Makeup artist James Kaliardos used all NARS products (and Lashify on the lashes!) to create this Winona Ryder-inspired Dracula beat. Kaliardos exaggerated the models' cupid bows with a NARS Precision Lip Liner and filled the lips with the matte lip pencil in Train Bleu Velvet. 'Til death do us part.

The Marc Jacobs Red Lip
Muva Pat McGrath was behind the final beauty look of NYFW. For the showstopping finale, McGrath created over 100 makeup looks on a large number of models and dancers. McGrath wanted to go classic with black winged lids and a pop of red on the lips. The beauty pro used Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Cream in Blacquer and the brand's lipstick in Oh Miley. "It's a modern take on beauty and exploration of individuality," explains McGrath. "There is an individual look for each model – from a light smoky eye to black winged liner and red lips, and to fresh and dewy, no-makeup looks."

Oscar de la Renta' Night Out
Lips took center stage at Oscar de la Renta's latest show. "When the lip says it all, it's beautiful skin with a gorgeous, glossy, red lip," explains the Mac Pro Team. The glam team used Patent Paint Lip Lacquer in Red Enamel for the beautiful and bright 3D shine.

Anna Sui, The Punk Rock Queen
Smoky green shadows and deep purple lips were the biggest beauty moments at Anna Sui. Pat McGrath was responsible for the rockabilly vibe using Blitz Emerald from the Mothership II: Sublime Palette and Wicked Envy from the Mothership VI: Midnight Sun Palette at the center of the lids.

Christopher John Rogers' World
Makeup artist Marcelo Gutierrez's vision for the show was "the modern Christopher John Rogers woman who steps into a chic and elegant party." Think bold neon lips and Euphoria-inspired bedazzled brows. From the colorful clothes and the asymmetrical full hair to the pops of color and shine on the lips and eyes, the entire show was one seamless event full of life.
