When you think spring makeup, you probably think of glowing and dewy skin, bronzed cheeks, and shades of pretty pastels. The spring 2019 runways had all those things—but it also had pops of electric pink of the lips and lashes, flecks of golden glitter, and metallic foiled lips. Ahead, 62 of our favorite lip, lashes, cheeks, and eye looks for spring from the designer runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris.
