Top Ten Fall Beauty Trends
Friday, October 16, 2009
Get ready to experiment with color this Fall! This season, the palette is bold and dramatic-focusing on rich earth tones, smoldering grays and blacks, and even some bright purples and teals. While there's plenty of '70s and '80s nostalgia behind these hot Fall styles, modern touches make them entirely now. From the latest eyeshadow hues to the "in" lip colors, Beauty Collection has everything you need to stand out this season.
1 Eye candy
For a playful, dramatic evening look, deliciously bright purples and turquoises are the hot colors this season. Runway models are sporting thick, bold candy colors under the rims of their eyes as well as on the lids. Not feeling the raccoon look? Stick to eyelids only, but go with a bold swath of color. Don't forget a matching eyeliner, like Stila Kajal, which is available in amethyst, emerald, and sapphire.
2 Cat's Eyes
For perfect cat's eye makeup, the secret is in the eyeliner. Practice with an eyeliner pencil first, then try a liquid eyeliner like Blinc Kiss Me Eyeliner. The trick is to extend the line slightly beyond the lid with a small upward turn.
3 Smoldering Looks
Black-rimmed eyes, like those sported by Heidi Klum, are a must this season. Start with a black matte eyeshadow like Stila Smudge Pot in Black. The key is to blend it well and create soft edges. Add a touch of shimmery silver to give it a softer, less Goth look with Stript Crushed Mineral Eye Shadow in Katrina.
4 Shades of Gray
For a softer look on the smoky side, gray eyeshadow-whether silver, gunmetal, or charcoal-is a must. Try Stila Smokey Eye Palette in Sapphire for a more subdued version.
5 Bold Brows
Go easy on the tweezers this fall! The natural look sported by Jennifer Connolly and Megan Fox is a great way to bring out your eyes. For fuller, thicker brows, try Anastasia Nu Brows, a formula designed to help promote growth while conditioning and restoring existing brows.
6 Dark Lips
Sugar plums and burgundies are the lip colors this season. Be sure to choose a color that works with your complexion-deep berry hues complement darker skin tones, while lighter shades work better for fair skin. For long-lasting color that won't feather, use LipFusion Micro Injected Collagen Clear Lip Pump, designed to plump up lips and bring out lipstick's true shade.
7 Big, Retro Hair
Hairstyles this season are a blast from the past with a modern twist. Whether you go with '70s-inspired long, wavy locks like Gisele or opt for a more extreme '80s homage like the Mohawksporting Rihanna, make sure to pump up the volume with the Fekkai Full Blown Volume Collection. Be sure to try the Full Volume Conditioner, Full Volume Mousse, and Full Volume Instant Root Lifting Spray.
8 Warmer Hair Hues
Say goodbye to the bright, sun-soaked colors of summer and hello to the richer tints of autumn. Take a cue from Katherine Heigl, who recently traded her trademark blonde for auburn, featuring rich cinnamon and chocolate hues. Go with warm, natural lowlights-honeyhued for blondes; burgundy for brunettes. Use Fekkai Salon Color which comes with a brush and a bowl for an easy at-home salon quality experience. Then lock in your color with Fekkai's Technician Color Care 3-minute Mask.
9 Contoured Cheeks
For sculpted cheekbones like Keira Knightley, the secret is in the shading. Try using three colors, such as Senna Radiance Face Trio, to highlight the cheekbones. Apply a darker color along the cheekbones, use a lighter shade for the apple of your cheeks, then finish off with a light powder.
10 Matte Makeup
So long, shimmer! In cooler seasons, it's all about matte for a flawless look. Available in ten different shades, Stript Crushed Mineral Foundation offers perfect coverage without clogging pores. The mineral based foundation absorbs excess oils while protecting the skin from harmful UV rays-who could ask for anything more?
