3 Eye Looks From the Runway That Work in Real Life

Liner is still having a major moment, and changing it up is the easiest way to pop some color onto your eyes. Swap your usual black wing for an electric cobalt blue, similar to what the models wore in a recent Jean Paul Gaultier couture show. Bonus: The rich hue brightens the white of eyes, making them look bigger.

Is brown shadow your fallback? Break the monotony by using a bronze on your lids. On dark complexions, a dab of bright coral on eyelids over the bronze punches it up. If you have fair skin, a brickier brown base (with a tinge of red) underneath the metallic adds diffuse color and major glam—see Tom Ford's fall runway show.

Atelier Versace turned the hue haute-couture-worthy, proving that verdant can be very chic. The secret? Skip forest green and turn an olive shadow vibrant with hints of gold. The ethereal blend is so soft, it works all around eyes. Keep it sultry by rimming the entire eye with an even deeper shadow.

Naturally gorgeous, I-woke-up-like-this lids are seriously on-trend, ruling runways such as Christian Dior's fall show. To amp up your look, reach for contacts rather than a compact. New 1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE® Brand Contact Lenses make your eyes appear brighter and whiter by defining the dark ring around the iris and adding natural-looking highlights to your own eye color…the perfect touch to make things really pop.
