Fall’s structured fashions call for tamed looks and pull-out-all-the-stops makeup.

The Bohemian styles featuring layers and nearly frumpy attire have gone by the wayside this autumn, and this season, the word “lady” will be rolling off your tongue. The makeup artists and hair stylists behind the scenes at Fashion Week created looks that balanced out the ladylike attire donned by models strutting the runway. Grab your highlighter; here’s a look at some of the best new trends in beauty for fall.  

Veronica Lake Locks

Those retro looks for fall that hearken back to the 1940s only get more glamorous with old Hollywood hair. Think the soft waves of Lauren Bacall or Veronica Lake. Gucci, Missoni and Valentino took this look and ran with it during their ’40s-inspired shows. Keep your part deep and use a dollop of mousse to hold the curl.

Simply Irresistable

The 1980s won’t seem so far away with the full makeup look popularized by those Robert Palmer girls swaying to “Addicted to Love.” Monique Lhuillier and Salvatore Ferragamo embraced this in separate fashion shows. Smoky eyes and full red lips pull it together, but keep your foundation natural and your hair slick to counterbalance. Try using purple eye shadows such as MAC eye shadow in Gentle Fume for the smoky eyes. 

Vive la France

Yes, you already know what a French manicure looks like, but modernize it for fall with dark colors combined with pinks. Those black nail polishes you bought last fall will work well with an alabaster color (put the black on the tips) did or paint your nails a claret with a pink tip. Tres sexy. Charcoal replaced black as the color du jour on the runways as well. Try MAC Cosmetics Nail Lacquer in Rainy Day, a gunmetal shade with a hint of lilac. Even more daring, nude nails without a hint of polish, just a swipe of the buffer for a bit of shine. 

Gilded Age

The Grecian goddess look came to a head last spring and continues through the fall. Give yourself a candlelight glow with touches of gold as seen at Bottega Veneta, Matthew Williamson and Yves Saint Laurent. Eye shadows such as Voyage from Nars, Starry Eyed Baked Shadow in Trio from Lorac and Terracotta Tan Magnifier powder from Guerlain can be patted on your cheeks or your cupid’s bow as a highlighter. 

Cleopatra Eyes

Oh, how those cat eyes can add glamour to your look. Louis Vuitton, Badgley Mischka and Prada took Elizabeth Taylor’s favorite look to heart for fall. Draw on your cat eyes with an eye pencil with Yves Saint Laurent’s Easy Liner in black. When you make a mistake, just dab a Q-Tip in moisturizer to erase it away. Just keep your lips in nude shades.

Lovely Buns

The best way to complement cat eyes? A sexy bun that’s just a bit messy and sitting high on your head. Bill Blass combined these two looks in his retro statement. Keep the look updated with a deep side part. 

Brow-Wow-Wow

Nothing bushy here; this look calls for definition of the brow as seen at Chanel and Dior shows. Use a clear mascara to anchor your brows in place, or add definition with a creamy brow product such as Laura Mercier Brow Definer in fair. 

Sleek Streak

These ’60s inspired hair styles were popular at the fall fashion shows, especially the Edie Sedgwick look from “Factory Girl.” Sleek hair with defined bangs that hit the eyebrow found their ways onto the runways at Michael Kors and Zac Posen. Use a straight iron to achieve this look and tame your hair with L’Oreal Professional Infinium Spray. 

Neon Dreams

Vampy mouths electrified the runways of Diane von Furstenberg and Proenza Schouler and added a bright note to fall’s sometimes dour color schemes. Look for lip colors such as rose and beet and start with a lip stain such as Benetint from Benefit Cosmetics to hold the color. Keep your eyes neutral with a sweep of mascara and no eye shadow. 

Bed Head

The Kate Moss look showed up on the Stella McCartney runway, but you can find use for it on those days you’re running late to work. Hair that looks a wee bit untamed and gloss applied to your lips and eyelids keeps this look fresh and sexy. Even Versace turned to a more structured version of this trend with hair parted down the middle and more blow-dried hair.
