Need some inspiration for your next party beauty look? The Fall 2018 runways were full of intriguing beauty looks that will give you plenty of hair & makeup ideas throughout the holiday season.
Here are the top beauty trends of the season and how you can get the look for yourself:
Two-Tone Eye Makeup
Why pick just one shade of eye shadow to wear when you could rock two? At Christian Siriano, the models wore a combination of pink and blue shadow for a bold pop of color.
GET THE LOOK: NARS Single Eyeshadow in Domination and Showgirl
For maximum color impact, use an eyeshadow primer first and apply the shadow with a wet brush, which will make the shadow extra pigmented.
Wine Lip Stain
A deep red lip stain is a great look for fall and winter soirees. The key to achieving this look is in the application: start from the middle of your lips and work your way out to the corners, and don’t worry about getting that perfectly straight line. The stain should look worn-in and slightly imperfect.
GET THE LOOK: Yves Saint Laurent Vinyl Cream Lip Stain
Gently blot over your lips to slowly build up color and achieve that wine-stained effect.
All-Over Liner
Draw all the attention to your eyes with thick all-over liner and shadow in dark dark black. Looking to jazz it up a bit for a party? At Alice + Olivia, the models’ eyeliner was accentuated with sparkling black glitter for added texture.

Using a traditional pencil will help you create that smudgy look. Hold the liner tip between the palms of your hands to warm it up, apply the liner around your eyes, then soften and smudge the edges with a small blending brush.
Decorative Bobby Pins
Gone are the days of trying to hide your bobby pins! Right now, it is all the rage to show off your pins and arrange them in creative designs. Use bobby pins that contrast from your hair color to really make them stand out.

These gold bobby pins are sleek & chic, and will keep your hair perfectly in place too!
Neon Tresses
Why not go all out with a truly fun hairdo this season? You can’t get much bolder than a neon pink bob, as seen on Gigi Hadid at the Jeremy Scott show; of course, if you aren’t committed to dying your hair, you can always don a wig for a temporary hair statement.
GET THE LOOK: Manic Panic Fleurs Du Mal® Creamtone® Perfect Pastel
Ready to go for it on the bold hairdo? Manic Panic’s hair dye will give you flawless pastel pink tresses.
Under Eye Liner
Switch your usual eyeliner style up by only lining the lower lash line. Keep the eyeliner tight to your waterline for a sleek, graphic look.
GET THE LOOK: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil
Use a color eye liner to bring out the colors in your eyes.
Deep Side Part
A deep side part makes for a dramatic hair style and is so fun for a holiday party. You can even create faux side bangs like they did on the Anna Sui runway.
GET THE LOOK: OGX Bodifying + Bamboo Fiber Full Big Hair Spray
Whenever changing up your part, your hair will naturally want to move back to its normal position, so hairspray is a must.
No Makeup Makeup
Not all beauty looks need to be over the top. Sometimes, neutral is best, as evidenced at the Balmain show. Focus on accentuating your natural features with a tinted moisturizer, nude lipstick or gloss, and defined brows.
GET THE LOOK: Origins Blooming Bold™ Lipstick
Origins’ new lipstick will give you that neutral pink lip, and it smells divine, too!
Classic Red Lip
With a classic red lip, you can do no wrong. Once you find that shade of lipstick that goes perfectly with your complexion, you’ll be wearing it to any and all events.

This lipstick from Make Up For Ever is a quintessential shade of red and is made to last long. Use a matching lip liner for ultimate precision.
Dramatic Contour
Work those cheekbones! Contouring has changed and evolved over the years, and while it can easily look “dirty”, when done right it can dramatically define your whole face.
GET THE LOOK: Tarte Park Ave Princess™ Chisel Palette
This contour and highlight palette contains everything you need to create a natural-looking contoured face. Bonus: you can also use these colors as eyeshadow!
Doll Eye Mascara
The best way to look instantly more wide awake? Coating your lower lashes in a layer of mascara. Doing so will make your eyes look wider and more open, all while giving you that Twiggy style.
GET THE LOOK: Elcie Cosmetics Lashfull Mascara
The brush on this Elcie Cosmetics mascara perfectly defines and volumizes lashes each and every time. Use the tip of the wand to delicately coat your lower lashes.
