Makeup and Hair Trends From NYFW Spring 2014

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I just finished one of the most insane work weeks ever, and consequently missed the bulk of New York Fashion Week. As much as I wanted to track it all in real time, shooting til midnight everyday got the better of me, so now I'm doing some high speed recapping, tracking both NYFW and now LFW.<br /><br />Anyway, here are some of the hair and makeup trends that look interesting for spring of 2014:<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5PywPdHi_mzgceKkt3GBnoJae16FoRrrnvoosZfsE3_cAn2aF4v3CK4RmRR2l26gtmHZ886dADOwNhyaERW7kOgBz7FPmept0OtchP_HWQ2zxVvIAX0FH1GUuh6Tt4A2R3PCYroW-vQ/s1600/rucci-hair-nyfw-ss14-braid-bun-h724.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5PywPdHi_mzgceKkt3GBnoJae16FoRrrnvoosZfsE3_cAn2aF4v3CK4RmRR2l26gtmHZ886dADOwNhyaERW7kOgBz7FPmept0OtchP_HWQ2zxVvIAX0FH1GUuh6Tt4A2R3PCYroW-vQ/s400/rucci-hair-nyfw-ss14-braid-bun-h724.jpg" width="267" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">1. Wet hair.</span><br />Seen both as a glam option,and a grungy one, slicked back, wet hair will make getting out the door on time a whole lot easier.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">2.
