They’re all here in our list of the 20 hair and makeup trends that can easily make the transition from the runway to real life (plus way more!). Scroll on for our favorite most wearable beauty looks from Fashion Week so far.

With all the vibrant color stories and pattern play seen at J.Crew, a bold pink-red lip only seemed fitting. As a rule of thumb, an unstoppable Jenna Lyons-inspired pout will always do you right. (Photo via Slaven Vlasic/Getty)Iridescent Green Liner at Lela Rose:
colored liner and shadow that complements your skin tone. Not overwhelming in the least, this captivating shade of seafoam green (perfect for olive skin tones) is guaranteed to lend a little extra color punch to your date night makeup routine.

Subtle Sparkle and Defined Lower Lashes at Jenny Packham: A sparkly iridescent eye shadow combined with well-defined lower lashes made for the perfect after-hours approved look. You could totally rock this almost-bare-faced style for a black tie affair. (Photo via Neilson Barnard/Getty)
4. Color Block Nails + a Rosy Glow at Rebecca Minkoff: Created using Essie’s spring 2016 collection, these color block digits already have us crushing hard for spring. The retro palette (think: punchy reds and peaches) will be the perfect complement to all your summer whites, especially when worn with a glow from matching blush. (Photo via Thos Robinson/Getty)
Minimal Makeup at Runa Ray:
less. Ditch the heavy liners and contouring for an all-natural look that can be achieved with just a light foundation and berry-colored lip stain. Add a subtle pop to your look by applying a faint shimmer to the corners of your eyes. (Photo via Noam Galai/Getty)6. Brushed-Through Brows + Sublte Smokey Eye at Thomas Wylde: Between the seductive brows, subtle smokey eye and ultra-shiny locks, this look could easily take you from desk-to-drinks. Keep lips nude and matte to play up all that highlighter on your lids. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty)
Polished Ponytails at Karigam:
minimalist twist, wrap a strand of hair around the elastic band. (Photo via @nyfw)Fierce Red Hair at Alexander Wang:
pastel: It doesn’t get much more avant-garde than this short ‘do that’s been dyed a fierce shade of red. Rest assured that this is one sartorial risk that won’t go unnoticed. (Photo via @fashionista_com)Twiggy Lashes + Nude Lips at Baja East:
@nyfw)Chic Tucked in Hair at Hanley:

Smoky Eyes + Sleek Ponytails at Vivienne Hu: It’s official: We want to join Vivienne Hu’s girl gang. Who knew that kohl-rimmed eyes and sleek ponies could look this good? Pair with a pussy-bow blouse or black jumpsuit for a model- off-duty look. (Photo via Fernando Leon/Getty)
12. Minimalist Grunge Mani at Baja East: Among perfectly polished tips and glossy topcoats, Baja East opted for a considerably more grunge-inspired mani that took on the appearance of black graffiti and simple lines. In fact, they ditched the nail polish all together — it’s almost as though they took a Sharpie at the last-minute to create minimalist tattoo-like representations. (Photo via Thos Robinson/Getty)
Just the Tips at Cushnie Et Ochs:
will be sticking around for at least another season. We can’t get enough of how this model kept it cool by matching her deep red dress to her bordeaux-hued digits. (Photo via @cushnieetochs)Perfectly Tousled Waves at BCBG Max Azria:
@bcbgmaxazria)Low Loop at Marissa Webb:
ponybun — is going to be your jam. As showcased at Marissa Webb, this poised and polished ‘do is essentially a cross between your trusty ponytail and a low bun, but with more panache. (Photo via @tresemme)Ombre Ends at Nicole Miller:
everywhere before long. With just the tips dyed, you get the best of both worlds — dark brown on top and a medium auburn on the bottom. (Photo via @nicolemillernyc)Messy Fishtail Braid at Rebecca Minkoff:
right now, pair it with a denim jacket or a bell sleeve dress. (Photo via @rebeccaminkoff)Negative Space Makeup at Marissa Webb:
@zoyanailpolish)Smoked Out Cat Eyes at Banana Republic:
and a fancy soiree and a low-key weekend like this smokey cat eye where the liner lingers versus being graphically stamped. (Photo via Andrew Toth/Getty)20. Boho Fishtail Braids at Rachel Zoe: Calling all bohemian brides! This half up, half down style is simply breathtaking. For an ethereal wedding day look, pair this twisted fishtail braid with a lace frock and a flower crown. (Photo via Cindy Ord/Getty)
