Sunset Eyes at Jason Wu
"This season, Jason was inspired by still life paintings of fruit, so it's all about juicy color. On five girls we did this more dramatic, colorful look," says Diane Kendal, key makeup artist for Maybelline. To create the look, she swept Ice Pop from the Lemonade Craze Eyeshadow Palette across the eye lids "blending it up into the temple and down onto the cheek with the same color. And then with the yellow (Main Squeeze), we're just diffusing it and mixing it into the other color so it makes it a little bit more orange."

Chartreuse Liner at Jonathan Simkhai
Does the idea of blending that much wears you out? Perhaps this streamlined yellow liner look worn by the models at Jonathan Simkhai will feel more approachable. Gato for Maybelline added a wash of Color Tattoo Longwear Cream Eyeshadow in V.I.P. across the lids and lower lashes, then lined the top lashes with the Tattoo Studio Sharpenable Gel Pencil Longwear Eyeliner in Polished White over it. To create that flash of yellow-green, he went back over the white with the chartreuse shade from The City Mini Eyeshadow Palette in Urban Jungle.

Cobalt Blue Graphic Lids at LaQuan Smith
Sir John was the lead backstage at LaQuan Smith for UOMA Beauty, and you can tell the celebrity artist had a good time creating the varied looks worn by each model. One of our favorites, perhaps because it stuck out so well in a sea of pastels, was the graphic, shimmery deep blue. He says, "It's not just about a smoky eye or a feline flick, but there's a fiery lift and an artisanal whimsical effect to the ends of the line that gives the eyes flight."
To create the look, Sir John used the Yemoja shade from the UOMA Beauty Black Magic Palette in Poise over an eye kohl to create that rich color. The color was placed just above the crease with a triple wing on either side, and he added the Afro.Dis.Iac Cleopatra Ink Liquid Eyeliner along the upper and lower lid to create more definition.
