Where exactly are beauty trends born? While hashtag popularity on Instagram might indicate trend’s ability to go the distance, keep an eye on runways, especially during fashion week, to see newer iterations of your favourite makeup trends come to life. And for the beauty obsessed, this year’s fall/winter 2023 runways did not disappoint. From party-ready gilded makeup looks to the eyeliner trend you will be wearing on repeat, here’s the entire lowdown:
1. Pastel lashes with Prada
For its fall/winter 2023 presentation, Prada took everyday caregiver uniforms and viewed them through the lens of fashion, topping off utilitarian silhouettes with bold finishing touches. Gigi Hadid marched down the runway in pastel pink lashes, while Kendall Jenner took some icy blue plumage for a spin. While coloured mascara may not be for the faint of heart, pastel falsies can eliminate the guesswork of finding the right hue for your skin tone.
2. Kim Shui and the two-toned lips
Y2K beauty looks may have consumed our mood boards, but the ‘90s two-toned lip lives to see another day, finding heft at Kim Shui’s fall/winter 2023 showcase. Echoing the glamour-infused lineup of clear PVC trench coats and risqué cutouts, the designer gave the classic red lip a two-toned upgrade. Off the runway, this nostalgia-seeped staple has received a nod from Megan Thee Stallion, Beyoncé, and more. Make it yours by opting for my-lips-but-better cream lipsticks and high-shine glosses.

3. Glitter tears at Thom Browne
From space-age accents to diamanté-inflected eye makeup, futuristic flourishes were aplenty at Thom Browne’s intergalactic spin on The Little Prince. Fuelling Instagram’s latest makeup trend obsession with crying girl makeup, the designer sent rhinestone-studded glitter tears down the runway. If you want to bring the trend alive for the next concert on your social calendar, remember that you don’t need to play by precise strokes—an undefined smattering of glitter and lash glue under your eye will add some stardust to your look.
4. Geometric floating liner at The Blonds
Endless iterations of the graphic eyeliner have been headlining eye makeup trends and, this season, The Blonds would like you to consider geometric liners for maximum impact. Closing out fall/winter 2023 in New York, the label’s fashion week debut whisked viewers to a bygone era of Hollywood-esque glamour, juxtaposed with contemporary finishing touches like the triple-winged liner. On the red carpet, Zendaya added a pop of colour to hers. You’ll want to keep an angled brush at hand for recreating the trend at home.
5. Glazed lids with Roberto Cavalli
Dewy skin has dominated the beauty mood board for a while now, and it was always only a matter of time before this trend entered our eyeshadow kits. Foreshadowing the glazed lids trend that will be everywhere this year, Roberto Cavalli unleashed the modern-day glamazon in hedonistic animal prints and glossy lids. High on sheen, this statement eye makeup look has long been a favourite with ‘It’ girls—from Kim Kardashian to Hailey Bieber. All you need to bring the look alive at home is a shimmery hue of eyeshadow topped off with a lick of high-shine gloss.
