Creatures of the Wind
The orange lip at Creatures of the Wind was all about smooth, satiny texture. "It contrasts the color and finish of the opalescent-textured eye," said NARS Director of Global Artistry, James Boehmer, who served as lead artist backstage. NARS Red Square Velvet Matte Lip Pencil was used in conjunction with Timanfaya Satin Lip Pencil (both new for Spring 2014). If you're dying to get the look now, try NARS Lipstick in Heat Wave with NARS Lip Gloss in Triple X. (But it'll take hours of practice in the mirror to get that cool-girl stare to pair with it.)

Prabal Gurung
Matte everything was key to the beauty looks behind Prabal Gurung's candy-colored spring runway. Charlotte Tilbury for MAC Cosmetics created three eye-popping shades: a violent lilac, a Pepto Bismal pink and this fluorescent sherbert orange. Although Karlie Kloss can pull off a smoky eye and bright orange lips, we suggest a simplified eye for real-life wear. Try a hint of liquid eyeliner flicked out at the corners paired with MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in What a Blast.

Marissa Webb
Okay, so technically the lips at Marissa Webb were red. Bobbi Brown's Blazing Red to be specific. But this shade of red, with tomato undertones, is closer to orange than the classic shades of red that have ruled the runway. This shade seems to be universally flattering, meaning no more debating over countless shades in the beauty aisle. I'm moving it to the top of my spring wishlist. (Yes, NYFW has made me want to bypass fall already.)

DKNY
DKNY stood out from other orange lips by going classic glossy. Charlotte Willer used Maybelline New York Color Sensational Vivid Lip Color in #890 Neon Red (finally, a lip color that's already on the market) to create juicy color. To soften the harsh look, Willer used her fingertips to smudge and soften. Slick ponytails, no eye makeup and just a hint of flushed cheeks made this one of the most low maintenance looks of the week. Love it!
