Spring in the City

Spring is the season of renewal, so it’s the perfect time to refresh your style— just in time for your next getaway. Stila makeup artist Viviana Martin chimes in with must-try beauty looks from the catwalk, and reveals the best cities in which to show them off .

THE LOOK:
Coral

PERFECT IN: MIAMI
Once far from hip, coral has made a comeback in chic shades that flatter almost every skin tone. The sunny hue conjures a perfect poolside aft ernoon in Miami and also works for an after-dinner soirée. Martin recommends neutral peach and bright coral colors.

THE LOOK:
Winged Liner

PERFECT IN: NEW YORK CITY
“I love the cat eyeliner look, which is huge this season,” Martin says. The trick to creating it is using a steady hand to apply waterproof gel or liquid liner. The retro-glam vibe plays well in NYC, delivering a fierce mix of glamour, edge and polish.
