Number 1: Pastel Colors Are Sexy

At New York Fashion Week, Michael Kors‘ models walked the runway sporting a grown-up version of pastel eye shadow.  Shimmery beiges, pale greens, yellows, pinks and radiant purples were all used on the runway to make the models’ eyes pop.  To achieve this look yourself: line your eyes with a black eye pencil and add gold shimmer to the inner corners.  Then apply a light blue, green, pink or purple shadow along the lower curve of the eyes from the lash line to just above the crease.  Lastly, simply smudge and blend the colors to make a gorgeous and fresh take on pastel eye shadow.

Number 2: Allover Skin Moisturizer

It is important that models’ skin stays moist and radiant.  To achieve this, models use an ultra rich moisturizing balm to keep their natural glow.  Use a face moisturizer like Darphin Aromatic Renewing Balm (available at darphin.com, $70) or a little petroleum jelly to keep your face fresh.

Number 3: Oranges Is In

Many of the runway shows in New York traded in the traditional red for a more muted orange tone.  Designer Rebecca Taylor put bright orange lipstick on many of her models, to compliment the orange hues she used in her Spring 2010 collection.  To balance orange lipstick, we suggest rubbing a creamy orange blush into the cheekbones and complimenting the eyes with a light smoky brown eye shadow.

Number 4: Lashes are Key!

Eyelashes are a attention grabber, as Chado Ralph Rucci showed us in New York, so it is important for models to have feather-like lashes, not clumped or chunky.  To achieve perfect lashes, apply mascara with a fan brush (available at drugstores and MAC, $18).  Apply by rubbing the fan brush over your mascara wand, then brush it into your lashes, the stiff fan brush bristles will keep your lashes from clumping.

Number 5: Primp Your Ponytail

The runways of New York Fashion Week were abuzz with slicked back hair-dos and every version of a bun or ponytail.  The sexy ponytails of runway shows such as Lela Rose and Monique Lhuillier were complete with crimped and curled textures with hair wrapped around the elastic ponytail holders, to give a more natural look.  To achieve this look: spritz sections of your wet hair with hairspray, then blow-dry hair by running your fingers through it, to give it a messy look.  Then use a crimping iron to crimp a large section of your hair straight down the middle of your head.  Lastly, pull back the crimped section and secure your slicked-back pony.

Number 6: Try an Eye-Catching Mani

Your nails can be used as a showpiece accessory (think recession-friendly accessory).  We suggest you paint your nails with an eye-catching shade and go over it with a sparkle polish.  The chunky glitter and gold flakes are in, so take advantage and spice up your usual red and pinks.  Brands such as Essie and OPI have some beautiful colors this season.

Number 7: Liven Up the Boring Bun

Chic buns were a hit at the Jason Wu and Tibi shows this New York Fashion Week.  We really liked the classic runway staple with a twist.  You can either use leftover fabric or ribbon to twist into your hair before wrapping it up into a bun or we suggest you wear a textured bun.  A textured bun can be achieved by leaving hair natural or wavy and securing a messy bun at the nape of the neck by using bobby pins.

Number 8: The Vampire Craze Is Still Here

Many models on the runway sported deep Bordeaux, purple and wine colored lips and nails during fashion week.  This intense lipstick color is not for everyone, but when done right looks beautiful.  To achieve this look: apply a deep berry colored matte lipstick with a lip brush to create a base.  Then add a creamy eggplant or wine shade on top, smooth with your finger for a stained effect.  To balance out deep lips, use light bronze tones on the eyes to keep the warmth.

New York Fashion Week took place in the famous Bryant Park in New York City from February 10-18.  There were many brilliant shows throughout the week, featuring some of the industry’s hottest designers and models.  Below are some of the highlights of fashion week.
