Makeup artist Yadim went bold at Jason Wu with thick, chunky liner-like swipes extending out from the corners. He used deep green shadow -- from the Maybelline City Mini Palette in Urban Jungle -- to get them.

And at Oscar de la Renta, makeup artist Tom Pecheux finished off the black liquid liner rimming the upper lids with a flick of color -- either lavender, baby pink, blue, orange, or green -- at the corners. "The color is almost like bad breath," he said. "You only experience it if you're close."
