Bathing Beauties
Narsleading makeup artist Diane Kendal nailed the water nymph look at the Spring '15 Thakoon runway show at New York Fashion Week. Designer Thakoon Panichgul said he wanted his models to look as though they were emerging from water, so Kendal delivered with slicked-back hair, glossy eyelids and luminous skin. She pulled off the I-woke-up-like-a-water-goddess look by using lip gloss on the eyelids and blush on the lips.

Steal this look for those last few weekends by the pool before summer officially ends.

Products Used:
-Face: NARSSkin Luminous Moisture Cream mixed with NARSSkin Optimal Brightening Concentrate, Radiant Creamy Concealer, Sheer Glow Foundation and Craving Dual-Intensity Blush (New for Spring 2015; for now try Copacabana Multiple)
-Cheeks: South Beach Multiple and Orgasm Illuminator
-Eyes: Triple X Lip Gloss (on eyelids)
-Brows: Oural Brow Gel
-Lips: Craving Dual-Intensity Blush

Subtle, Statement-Making Nail Art
The newest trend in nail art, known as "the midi," was spotted at New York Fashion Week's Creatures of Comfort Spring 2015 show. The trend uses "negative space" (AKA, your bare nail) between two different polish colors -- think of it as your nail wearing a crop top.

To complement the Creatures of Comfort neutral, earthy color palette and minimal, natural makeup, Rebecca Issa, Creative Director at Zoya, created this two-toned look. Nail tech Alicia Torella used two coats of Zoya nail polish in Tomoko above the cuticle and two coats of Farah along the top portion of the nail. The result? An easy-to-achieve, nude-meets-shimmer nail that is a chic, understated way to wear nail art.

Warrior Beauty Hits the Runway
At designer Yoana Baraschi's Spring 2015 show, Butter London's Katie Jane Hughes combined matte red lips with a graphic white eyeliner and bronze cheeks. The unexpected placement of the liner is a modern take on what lead makeup artist Hughes calls "African warrior beauty." Topped with a messy bun and paired with mixed media prints from Baraschi's collection, we're filing this one away under "must try."

Products Used:
-Face: Butter London Hydrating Balm, Butter London Tinted Highlighter in Twit
-Cheeks: Butter London Cream Bronzer in Bit Faker
-Lips: Butter London Moisture Matte Lipstick in Ladybird on bottom lip, Butter London Moisture Matte Lipstick in Come to Bed Red on top
-Eyes: Butter London Hydrating Balm on lids, Butter London Eye Pencil in Alabaster Glaze for liner, Butter London Eye Pencil in All Hail the Queen under lower lash line, Butter London Mascara in Union Black Jack
