So many beautiful looks graced this years Fall Fashion Week In New York, and thanks to the experts who created many of these looks, we too can know first hand just how to get them. At the Oscar de la Renta Show “It’s a 1980s cosmetic ad meets today,” said makeup artist Gucci Westman whose look was a full made-up face worthy of any runway.

To get the gorgeous, golden-brown eye, Westman used Revlon ColorStay Eye Shadow Quad in Coffee Bean, and applied the color above the brow bone layering from lightest to darkest.

Hair stylist Odile Gilbert looked to Blondie for the loose textured look she styled at 3.1 Phillip Lim. For voluminous, matte curls, Gilbert first applied Phyto Professional Intense Volume Mousse before blowing out and curling the hair. The look was quite beautiful, and we thought very feminine.

Estée Lauder made its fashion week debut at Derek Lam with one of the hottest trends we are seeing for fall: brown lips. Who knew? The brand’s creative makeup director and master artist, Tom Pecheux, used Pure Color Crystal Lipstick in Crystal Beige and dusted the same copper shadow used on the eyes, (due out this fall), over the mouth for a metallic finish.

At Zac Posen, Odile Gilbert channeled the downtown Chelsea girl with soft, touchable waves. She spritzed L’Oréal Professionnel Texture Expert Freezing Mist to keep it all in place.

The strong, navy blue eye that Tom Pecheux created at Chado Ralph Rucci looked so chic. Want to do it yourself it?  Try beth bender beauty’s Most Wanted Runway Eye’s Eyeliner Kit using the Cat Eyeliner Stencil to create.

James Kaliardos kept the focus on the eyes at Diane von Furstenberg with the gorgeous, opalescent butterfly effect he created with shades of blue, plum, and silver shadows. For a similar, more wearble effect, try the Good Girl, Gone Bad Eye Palette from beth bender beauty.

Lucia Peroni beautifully accented the eyes with metallic shades of gold and silver at Jason Wu. To get a similar effect, try MAC Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Filament and Goldmine, and opt for using your fingers to apply instead of an eyeshadow brush.

In December, it was announced that Grammy winner and American Idol Alumni, Carrie Underwood became engaged to NHL player Mike Fischer. Since the news Carrie has begun planning her storybook wedding, and we’ve got an update on her beauty regime the day of.

Celebrity lash expert, Stephen Moleski, who fitted Underwood with a pair of lashes for the Grammys, will also be custom designing a pair for her wedding day. “She wore my lashes to the Grammys and fell in love with them,” said Moleski. “For her wedding day we decided to create a custom pair based on her favorite elements of existing styles.” The special set will be a mix of Moleski’s New York, Nashville, and Miami lashes which retail for $13.50 each.

A little pricey for false lashes, but if they can make my eyes look like Carrie’s I may just have to indulge myself. “The lashes are a tapered feathered lash, so shorter on the inside corner, and thick and fluffy everywhere else,” says Moleski, and as soon as Underwood and Fischer tie the knot, the lashes will available to purchase on Moleski’s site, smokeandmirrorsbeauty.com.
