Liquid eyeliner, blue shadows and ponytails galore — New York Fashion Week runways debuted the latest beauty trends set to be popular this fall.

Vivienne Tam models’ bold makeup broke the “pick a strong lip or a strong eye but never both” rule; models’ black liner was paired with a deep blackberry color on the lips, showcasing an edgy style.

The fall 2013 runways also proved the cat eye trend isn’t going anywhere.

Rag and Bone makeup artists lined models’ sockets, instead of their upper lash lines, with a black liquid liner extending past the outer corner of the eye, adding a retro spin to the cat eye trend.

Shades of blue were spotted on the eyes of models for Kate Spade, Rebecca Minkoff and Jason Wu.

Models on Spade’s runway wore pastel blue shades on their lids while Minkoff’s models’ eyes were lined with cobalt blue liner.

Wu’s makeup artists created an indigo smoky eye on models, complementing the finale dress of the designer’s collection, which was a similar hue.   

Models walking in the Monique Lhuillier show featured the black liner with a natural lip color.

Among the most popular beauty trends on the fashion week runways was the classic ponytail, which saw variation among designers like Alexander Wang, Michael Kors and Emerson.

Wang’s edgy take on the popular do featured slicked-back ponytails positioned at the napes of models’ necks. This version included straight, auburn-colored extensions.  

Michael Kors channeled a similar sleek style that sat atop the models’ heads, adding a more sporty twist. 

Other designers, like Emerson, created a completely different look using the same ponytail style — with a deep side part and volume at the crown, Emerson’s models offered a sophisticated take on the well-known hairdo. 

Whatever trend gains the most steam, however, it’s clear that this fall’s beauty will be bold, brash and exciting.
