There's no question that the main focus of New York Fashion Week is the clothes, but we'd also argue that the makeup can often steal the show as well.

At the fall/winter 2020 shows, we saw the legendary Pat McGrath create the most alluring, jewel-toned emerald eyes and burgundy lips, using products from her own collection at Anna Sui, while MAC Cosmetics offered up vibrant matte red lips and glossy lids at Oscar de la Renta.

But one look we saw across several runways is a true classic, and a color that never really goes out of style: pink.

The beauty of this rosy shade is that it can be worn across the lips, eyes, and cheeks — and works whether you're going for a more casual, everyday vibe, or want to level-up your glam for a special occasion.

So while pink makeup isn't exactly a new trend, if you're in the mood to try wearing it a different way in 2020, we've rounded up the best pink makeup looks from the NYFW runways to get you inspired.
