BLACK OUT
There are only two things you need your eyeliner to be this season: black and greasy. When it comes to technique, it's a free-for-all. Stay safe with a classic flick, as seen at Nicole Miller, or a soft smudge; go for the piercing stare of a Versace girl (left) by rimming your waterlines in ink; or take a dramatically dark turn and don't stop 'til you hit the brow.

MODERN GOTHIC
Switching to a darker lipstick for fall? Not exactly groundbreaking. But when it's closer to black on the color spectrum than it is to red? Now we're onto something. You don't even have to go as goth as the Marc Jacobs mouth or as dark as Peter Philips did at Dior (he filled in the lips with black eyeliner before going over them with Poison, an aptly-named shade of lipstick out in the fall), to get what James Kaliardos calls the "don't-mess-with-me, I'll-kick-your-ass look," seen here at Rodarte.

GLITTER BOMB
Good news: Glitter is definitely for grown-ups—if only because kids could never master the ways in which it showed up on the runways. Sparkle was at its most wearable at Tommy Hilfiger (left), where Pat McGrath topped off a taupe smoky eye with light sprinkling of gold, done in new ways—brow bone highlighter! tear drops!—at Giambattista Valli and Burberry and at its absolute fiercest at Anthony Vaccarello, where Tom Pecheux gave us the wild idea to cut apart our jewelry and affix it to our face. Why not?

GLOW ON
Take a break from the three-step method of shading, blushing and highlighting you learned in Contouring 101: The prettiest skin (see: Stella McCartney, left) was neither highly-reflective nor blur tool mattified; there was just a little shine where there's normally shine and a pink flush where there should be flush. Arm yourself with blush, a tinted lip balm and mascara and your look is done in three minutes flat.

PEACHY KEEN
Everything about peach screams spring, so much so that we've never even given the color the chance to prove just how pretty it might be in the fall. Thankfully, makeup artists showed us its unexpectedly sophisticated and romantic side—at Prabal Gurung (left), where Diane Kendal referenced Lord Byron's "She Walks In Beauty;" Nina Ricci, where mood boards told the story of a woman getting ready for a late-night rendezvous; Balmain and more.

STAINED RED
Pick up your candy apple red lipstick—the same one from Spring '16, how's that for getting your money's worth?—and dab it on with your fingers, or blot it off in the center with a tissue or apply it just slightly outside the corners. This is red lipstick for real women—the ones who don't own lip brushes, rarely get blowouts and just want to look a little cooler when they go from the gym to lunch. Photo: Imaxtree

ART SHOW
What do quilted handbags, gravitational waves and '60s pop art all have in common? Nothing, minus the fact that they all inspired the makeup at some of the biggest shows. At Chanel (left), Tom Pecheux reinvented the classic smoky eye with a netted pattern that paid homage to the brand's iconic bags; Peter Philips translated Einstein's theory into psychedelic swirls made for the festival scene at Fendi; and elsewhere, graphic lines that went outside the traditional lines were all the rage.
