Well Red
The Look: Matching crimson cheeks and lips thrilled the crowd at Michael Kors. Aiming for a "glamorous, sporty" effect, makeup artist Dick Page dabbed Shiseido's Lacquer Rouge lipstick ($25) all over. "What makes this perfect for a bride is the clarity," he says. "The girls looked bright, clean—very alive."

Wedding Makeup Ideas from Fall 2012 Fashion Week
Published on July 1, 2012
Crimson cheeks and lips, sculpted brows, and more ruled the runways at New York Fashion Week.
Well Red
For Your Wedding Day: For cheeks, swap in a cream blush, and keep the color confined to the "apples" (the roundest part of your face when you smile).

Power Brows
The Look: Tom Ford showed a lush brow paired with sculpted cheeks and nude lips. "I'm about structured, arched, thick brows, not overplucked, overwaxed brows," says Ford. "Brows must be groomed but natural-looking."

Power Brows
For Your Wedding Day: If time permits, stop tweezing and let your brows grow back in. Too late for that? Address a strategy with your makeup artist in your trial. Done well, pencil fill-ins can look fantastic.

Azure Eyes
The Look: At Jason Wu, it was all about a blue-green twist on smoky eyes.

For Your Wedding Day: The key to pulling off a bold shade, says makeup artist Pati Dubroff, is to tie it into the rest of your palette. "For weddings, I like to find cues from jewelry or flowers," she notes. "The rest of the face should be finished but shouldn't distract from the eye element."

Winged Victory
The Look: Ladylike jet black eyeliner—with a flourish—ruled the day at Ralph Lauren.

Winged Victory
For Your Wedding Day: To keep cat eyes contemporary, add a "healthy, rosy cheek" and sheer lip stain, recommends Dubroff. But avoid coral or red, she says, which can tip this look into retro territory. For precise definition, use a magnifying mirror and line as close to the lash as possible. "For daytime, the wing should be demure," says Dubroff. "For a formal event, it can be more pronounced."
