Beauty On The Streets: How to Wear Runway Trends

The hair and makeup looks at Fashion Week range from pretty to wacky and everything in between. But these women prove that even the most out-there trends can be wearable

The Real Way The most important thing is to wear a shade of blush that looks pretty on you -- not necessarily the one that came down the catwalk. We love that this woman chose a rust tone to complement her hair color -- and while she used a lot, it's perfectly blended.

Has anyone ever noticed that runway models look better without makeup usually? They look scary and angry with it on, not to mention ridiculous with the crazy clothes they have on

Okay article. I love red lips with black eyeliner, but I do a winged eye instead and skip the black eyeliner on the bottom because it can look very harsh and overdone. Instead I go for a dark brown eyeliner on the bottom where my lash line is at, going from the outer corner to the middle of my eye and then smudging it so the line is not so defined and blends into my lash line instead.

I love bold lips lately and to get new ideas of colors to wear.

I love these! It's nice to see examples of how to rock a trend without looking ridiculous.

Some of these looks are feasible, but most really push the envelope for everyday wear.

i like the juxtaposition of catwalk/sidewalk looks - shows how you can update your look with some runway inspired trends brought back to the real world!

Fabulous array of many good looks-it's so personal how one does their makeup and there certainly were many good looks to choose from or just take a few from column a-b-or c and do your own thing. Whatever we have seen on the runway or a magazine and want to duplicate-no matter what- you have to make it your own because our face is different from what we saw-but we can still own it.
