2. Orange Shadow

"Orange is a color that we all forgot for a while, but it is a great hue to play with; it's more womanly than pink," says Shiseido The Makeup Color Creator Tom Pecheux.

Tip: Choose creamy shadows, which spread well and are practically sheer. Or, if you prefer powders, choose those with a bit of gold mixed in with the orange, as they yield a softer effect, says Sandrine Van Slee (for Dior), the makeup artist who did the large images in this story.

3. Exaggerated Lashes

Long, thick lashes have officially emerged as the beauty accessory of the moment. "Eyes are, after all, the focal point of the face," says Shu Uemura Artistic Director Gina Brooke.

Tip: A host of new mascaras can help you achieve length and volume. To avoid clumps, "detangle" lashes -- before applying mascara -- with an old, clean wand.

4. Teased Hair
Spotted at: Miu Miu

This spring's puffed-at-the-crown coif is super-subtle. The look is achieved through judicious back-combing, and, according to Aveda Editorial Hairstylist Kevin Ryan, it works equally well on short and long hair.

Tip: Ryan recommends teasing using a thin brush rather than a comb, which can be harsh on your hair.

5. Controlled Curls

The pretty, wavy hair so popular on catwalks this season is the perfect complement to spring's light, airy clothing, says runway hair stylist Orlando Pita.

Tip: Waves work best on just-washed hair. After blow-drying, add in waves with a curling iron. Last, use a texturizing product to give ends body.

6. Ponytails
Spotted at: About 80 percent of the runway shows, including Oscar de la Renta, Lanvin and Jil Sander, according to Redken Creative Consultant Guido Palau

"I did a lot of variations on the ponytail this season," says Palau. "It's a great style because you can personalize it -- and it suits everyone."

Tip: To add volume to your ponytail, rather than teasing the tail, tease the roots near the spot where you intend to slide in your elastic. Then gather tresses in the elastic, suggests Pita.

7. Side Parts

Boho middle parts have given way to stronger side divisions. Palau, who did them at Prada, maintains that it's because this type of part flatters every face shape.

Tip: control flyaways, spritz a dry setting spray onto your hands and run them down both sides of your part.

8. Lipstick

"The return to lipstick actually started about a year ago," says Longo. "Women are after the sheen and depth that only lipstick offers."

Tip: The season's palette ranged from bold red to pink. The freshest way to sport these hues is to pair with a coat of mascara and a healthy dose of blush.

9. A Natural Palette

"Spring is the time to lighten up," says Brooke. The best way to pare down without looking drab? Start by applying foundation and concealer only where necessary, then add blush, mascara and lipstick that matches your lip tone. Last, dab a silvery highlighter onto the tops of your cheekbones to make your eyes stand out.

Tip: Spritz on a hydrating spray to preserve your dewy finish (we like Sue Devitt's Beauty Luminous Finishing Mist).

10. Flushed Cheeks

"Rather than concentrate color on just the apples, we spread it all over the cheek," says Pecheux.

Tip: To prevent this look from appearing heavy-handed, apply foundation to your T-zone only -- skipping cheeks entirely -- then blend in blush. This maintains the "transparency" of your skin.
