It's all about luminous, almost wet-looking skin when it comes to Delpozo's show. The models give off a sheen at every angle. The look features ultra dewy skin and highlighted cheekbones, forehead and inner corners of the eyes. This fresh-faced look is completed with a dusting of pink on the eyes and a matching pink, sheer lip. Photo: Getty

It's all about the eyes at Brandon Maxwell. The models strutted down the runway donning a heavy, smokey cat eye in various shades of black, navy and grey. The lower lash line is heavily lined, elongated and smoked out with dark shadow and each model had a pop of colour (mostly gold, silver and blue) on the center of their lids for dimension. The dramatic eye look is set against flawless, satin matte skin with hardly any colour anywhere else; Edgy and smoldering. Photo: Getty

Youthful sophistication is epitomized by Tory Burch's classic beauty look. Models had luminous, glowing skin with a slight flush of pale pink on the apples. Brows are lightly filled in and then brushed up for a textured effect. Eyes are illuminated with silver eyeshadow while the lips are a gorgeous peachy nude. We can't forget the effortless low-pony that all the models had, with a chic center-parting. We are ready to take this look right off the runway and into real life. Photo: Getty

It's all about braids and bold lips at the alice+olivia show. We can't get enough of the braided hair crowns, softened by stray strands strategically pulled out to frame the face. Models were also wearing bold lips in deep burgundy and red, adding the perfect edge to the look, preventing it from looking too ethereal. Photo: Getty

Punk rock party girls walked the Alexander Wang runway. The look embraces imperfection as the models' eyes are smudged heavily with black kohl. Their kohl-rimmed eyes are matched with tousled, messy hair (almost stringy) to create that "after-party" look. Photo: Getty

Brows take center-stage at Creatures of the Wind. It was a modern take on Marlene Dietrich's iconic rounded brows. Brows are made to have a more exaggerated, rounded arch.
