TREND REPORT:fashion week beautyFashion week is always brimming with fresh faces and beauty inspiration, and this year wasno exception.BY ELLEN MALONE, BEAUTY EXPERTThe main trend we saw this year was beauty - not odd, unwearable makeup suited only to the rarefied air of the runway but real, wearable, gorgeous beauty.Here are some of our picks:The glowing skin.

Smudge the same shade under your lower lash line and add plenty of mascara.
