Next season's must-have polish hue? Green! From emerald to apple, the lush color was seen on the fingertips of models at Dior (far left) and Dolce & Gabbana. For an electric take on the trend, opt for neon or chartreuse.

Beautylish recommends: Zoya Nail Polish in Bevin

Wet 'n set! Models at BCBG (far left), and Giambattista Valli displayed heavily gelled, slicked-back styles that are already a red carpet-favorite. Angelina Jolie and Kate Backinsale also sported damp roots this winter—we wouldn't be surprised if the trend popped up during award season! Another runway look sure to be seen at Hollywood's fêtes? The elegant low ponytail, which dominated top shows such as Wes Gordon (left), Ralph Lauren, and Reed Krakoff.  

Beautylish recommends: Apply Sebastian Professional Liquid Steel for a sleek style. Or prep roots with T3 Refresh Volumizing Dry Shampoo before pulling back mane into a loose ponytail.

While bright lipstick is traditionally a must-have for spring, this year fashion shows such as Carolina Herrera (far left) and Christopher Kane were all about natural, rosy pink pouts. Mimic the light petal-inspired sheen with a clear or slightly tinted balm or sheer lipstick.

Beautylish recommends: Clinique Almost Lipstick in Shy Honey

Thanks to a healthy dusting of toasty bronzer on their eyelids and cheekbones, models at Michael Kors and Timo Weiland (far left) sported faux sun-splashed features. The exaggerated effect warmed up even the palest complexions in a youthful way. Another popular makeup trend was the minimal makeup look, which was complemented with a subtle glow at shows such as Isabel Marant and Damir Doma (left).

Beautylish recommends: Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess and Make Up For Ever Uplight Face Luminizer Gel in #11

I'll do green nails, dewy skin, warm cheeks and lightly glossed lips, but that's where it ends. I do dewy skin, warm cheeks and lightly glossed lips all the time anyway, haha. Low ponytails/ponytails in general, unless I am working or working out, are not my thing. The lacquered locks are absolutely gross looking! It looks almost dirty to me. I don't know about that one...

Well... I love fresh natural looks (for me) so the low ponytail, dewy skin, glossy lips... all just fine. Me personally I don't like a full face of make up, hardly ever in fact. And I really don't like nail polish.
Now, as a Make-up Artist? God yes!! Bring it ALL on, I love trying it all.

Lacquered locks makes me feel like a dirty monster. Everything else lacks luster but I'd totally go for the green nails....as if I don't already...

I like almost everything, BUT spring screams fresh, dewy, free flowing hair and light hues. The lightly glossed lips to me is an eeeh, and the Lacquered locks is a fail. i would never put something that gross looking on a model i work with
