"Take, for instance, the grunge-y eyeliner at both Marc Jacobs and Ashlyn, where dramatic black waterlines added '90s-inspired edge. Or the voluminous hairstyles at Collina Strada and Ralph Lauren, both of which embraced the "undone" beauty movement. Many runways have also leaned into a lived-in look for hair and glam - a welcome aesthetic for cool girls and makeup novices alike."
"Eyeliner gets its main character moment. At Marc Jacobs, makeup artist Thomas de Kluyver leaned into the grunge side of the '90s with bold black eyeliner - concentrated on the bottom of the eyes. Interestingly enough, the glam at Ashlyn's show also featured black eyeliner - placed only along the lower lash line and inner corners. Time to sharpen those kohl pencils."
New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 brought bold color and playful beauty alongside dramatic silhouettes. Marc Jacobs showcased candy-colored makeup and '90s-inspired elements while Ralph Lauren emphasized big blush and voluminous hair. Makeup trends leaned toward grunge-influenced lower lash eyeliner and concentrated black waterlines. Hair trends favored teased, texture-forward, and brushed-out voluminous styles that read as intentionally undone and lived-in. Runways embraced accessible, cool-girl aesthetics suitable for makeup novices. The overall movement prioritized fun, expressive makeup and larger-than-life hair shapes, blending nostalgic references with modern, wearable finishes. Designers and beauty teams highlighted texture, volume, and color as central to the season's identity.
