Every Stunning Beauty Look From the CFDA Awards
Last night the stars gathered at Lincoln Center in New York city for the annual CFDA Awards, which was a gorgeous whirlwind of glittery smoky eyes, striking center parts and some of the prettiest lipstick moments we've ever seen—in other words, it's the Oscars of beauty. While we certainly applaud this year's designers, celebs and tastemakers that have made major strides in the fashion industry, it was these seven hair and makeup looks in the slideshow ahead that left the greatest impression.

From her electric purple lip she wore to last year’s MET Gala to the coolest cat eyes, Joan Smalls has never been one to shy away from a bold makeup look—and this denim-inspired sparkly blue purple eye created by makeup artist Sir John is no exception. "What makes this [smoky eye] modern is the texture and the shape," he said in an interview with Style.com. After lining both upper and lower lashes with navy eye kohl, use multiple shades of blue shadow to add dimension to the look. Try a mix of cobalt, deep navy and blue with shimmer. Just be sure to keep the color strictly on the lid and away from the brow bone, says Sir John. Then, top it off with navy mascara for dramatic effect. Her hair was pulled back into a simple, sleek pony with a striking center part to pull her hair away from her face and show off her eyes.

Meanwhile Gigi's younger sis Bella successfully keeps the no-makeup makeup trend alive with matte skin, barely-lined eyes and nude lips. Her center-parted hairstyle feels fresh with slicked down roots and nary a flyaway in sight.

Another sleek, center-parted hairstyle strikes the red carpet again. This time, Vanessa takes the look up a notch with a low, swirly bun to keep her hair off her neck and show off the sheer neckline of her Sachin & Babi Noir dress. On the makeup front, she wore dewy skin, mile-long lashes and subtle touches of matte gray shadow in all the right places.

Coco Rocha is the queen of classic with a twist: eyeliner that's slightly more elongated than usual, a vampier shade of red on her lips and a pretty updo with a purposeful frizz. Not to mention we live for beauty moments like unexpected splash of pink eyeshadow shadow all around her eyes.

Karlie Kloss surprises us with a rare bold lipstick moment with this chic matte red color. And is there anyone who can make bedhead hair look as good as Karlie does? We think not.

Impossibly cool braided updos aren't a new thing for Janelle, but she amps up her hair game with strategic hair rings for an eye-catching effect. A subtle cat eye, red lips and dewy skin complement the look.
