And at Alice + Olivia, smudgy, smoky eyes paired with brushed up brows and contoured cheeks may inspire your next idea for nighttime makeup. “This look is all about a smoldering eye meeting ethereal, glowing skin. Perfect for clinking glasses on a girls’ night out,” Elyse Reneau, executive director of global beauty at Too Faced, says in a statement.

All About Eyes

“This look reflects this season’s outfits by combining sexy touches with a bit of edge,” artist Diane Kendal says of this runway look seen at Jason Wu, in a statement. “Eyes are the punctuation of these looks, with beautiful smoky eyes that give a nod to cinema.”

All About Eyes

Designer Sergio Hudson collaborated with New York graffiti artist Jason Naylor for a colorful collection this season, which echoed through the brand’s runway beauty.

All About Eyes

Bleached brows helped emphasize dramatic eye looks on the runway at Laquan Smith’s AW 2023 show. “This makeup look is a modern twist on ’80s beauty, inspired by the beloved TV series Dynasty,” lead makeup artist Raisa Flowers says in a statement.

“The super defined graphic look is feminine, but strong at the same time, to embrace that elevated glamour and Huda Beauty beat. For a soft, juxtaposition against the bold eye, we went with bleached brows for some of the models to balance the look.”

Kendal used several shades from the Jason Wu Beauty palette seen here to create the warm, shimmery smoky eyes seen at the show.
