Big Hair

Seen at: Donna Karan
On the runway: "This season, I was inspired by rock artists who pile their dreadlocks on top of their heads," says Odile Gilbert, the runway stylist who reintroduced the bouffant at the Chanel show.
On you: A modified version of this look can be worn with short or long hair, then adorned with accessories. To do, simply spray a root-booster onto damp locks, blow-dry with a round brush, then lift the front section into place and pin.

Statement Brows
|
|
Seen at: Balenciaga, Sportmax, Prada
On the runway: The arch of the moment is much more pronounced than in seasons past, with a gently rounded line and strong color. "Everyone is finally growing back their brows!" rejoices Gordon Espinet, makeup artist for MAC.
On you: For the most believable look, Cantello recommends applying a light brown (if you're fair) to dark brown (if your complexion is deeper) brow pencil to the top of your hand, then dipping a firm, angled makeup brush in the color and sweeping it over your brows, filling in gaps and enhancing the color.

Smooth Hair

Seen at: Michael Kors, Calvin Klein
On the runway: "Straight hair has become a classic -- and it always looks healthy and shiny," says runway stylist Jimmy Paul. "But that severely flat-ironed finish is not really the trend right now. Instead, you want your hair to look like you've gotten a slightly imperfect blow-dry."
On you: After washing and conditioning, use a paddle brush and a blow-dryer to pull your damp hair straight. Then, warm a quarter-size dollop of styling cream between your palms and use your fingers to run it through your hair, roots to ends, to rumple and soften the look a little.

Tip: Run a flatiron through the ends of your hair to get rid of puffiness, but not body.

Baby-Doll Cheeks
|
|
Seen at: Oscar de la Renta, Balenciaga, Diane von Furstenberg
On the runway: To add a bit of flair to the semimatte-finish skin seen on many runways, makeup artists chose to play up cheeks with moist, sheer red and baby-pink shades.
On you: Choose a gel or cream color and apply in a circular motion to the tops of your cheekbones, then blend down for the most natural-looking flush.

Tip: To make your flushed cheeks appear to glow, use a finger to tap highlighter just above the tops of your cheekbones.

Bold Hair Color
Seen at: Roberto Cavalli, Dolce &
On the runway: "Lately, most of the models have been skipping subtle highlights and asking instead for strong, solid blondes; rich, chocolate browns; and deep, saturated reds," says Adam Reed, a runway stylist who worked on the Matthew Williamson and Imitation of Christ shows.
On you: Pump up your natural hair color at home with a soft, semipermanent hue from a box or ask your colorist to apply a tinted color gloss.

Blunt Bangs
Seen at: MaxMara, Marc Jacobs, Versace, Stella McCartney
On the runway: "All the models came to the shows this year with freshly cut bangs," says Laurent D, a bicoastal stylist who worked on the Cynthia Steffe and Alice Roi shows.
On you: For a perfect fringe, stay away from wisps, which can look messy. Instead, ask your stylist to cut heavy bangs that hit well below your brows and extend to the outer corners of your temples. This way, you can also pin them to the side on days you want to hide them.

Gem-Tone Eyes
|
Seen at: Tom Ford for YSL Rive Gauche, Celine, Heatherette On the runway: "This is a very big makeup moment," says Cantello, who noted the preponderance of vibrant eye colors, like blues, purples and greens.
On you: Using "gemstones" to play up your eyes can be very elegant for evening -- just use one in the inner or outer corner of each eye. (Or skip the stones altogether and just use a gem-tone shadow and liner.) Also, makeup artists used to recommend playing up eyes or lips (but not both), but Cantello says strong eyes actually now warrant strong lips for balance.

Tip: To avoid looking like a showgirl, skip heavy face powder and pair your bright eyes with dewy skin.

White Liner
|
|
Seen at: Fendi, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton
On the runway: "Sixties trends were big, like lining the lower lid with white pencil," says runway makeup guru Tom Pecheux.
On you: Pecheux says stark white can be scary in real life, so use off-white instead or soften a white line with a cotton swab.

Knockout Nails

On the runway: Although nudes complement every skin tone and outfit, brights are fall's biggest hit.
On you: Keep your nails filed relatively short and slightly rounded to pull off vibrant hues.
