Better start practicing your flutter, because lashes are front and center among Fashion Month’s big beauty trends. But next season’s version isn’t merely curled and mascara-ed. Makeup artists took lashes to another level on the runways, accenting them with color, texture and over the top falsies. Here are a few of the boldest looks to inspire you to step up your lash game, starting now.
If you’re bored of smoky eyes and red lips, it may be time to shift your makeup’s starring feature. Like with any statement look, successful execution hinges on keeping the rest of your makeup minimal — like this version at DSquared.
At Emilio Pucci, makeup artist Lisa Butler brushed on multiple coats of MAC Extended Play Lash to create a spiky effect that suggested “big doll eyes.”
Colored mascara is nothing new, but we’re reconsidering our stance on it after seeing this look at Christian Siriano, where subtle blue lashes played off iridescent sequins on lids.
Pairing colored mascara with traditional black is key to keeping this look wearable. At Derek Lam, makeup artist Tom Pecheux layered purple mascara over MAC Haute & Naughty Black Lash to complement models’ lavender shadow.
Who needs natural? When it comes to fake lashes, bigger is better this spring. At Nanette Lepore, models wore extra long falsies on both top and bottom lash lines.
Major lashes were a must for the living dolls at Moschino’s Barbie-themed show, where makeup artist Lucia Pieroni layered two pairs of lashes: MAC 43 and 32.
