What's In and What's Not

The Eyes

Focus is aimed towards eyeliners! Eyes are rimmed with darker liners for the passionate look. The overall feel is a "smoky" look. Shadows such as greens, violet, and gray are in for the season with darker liner and well defined eyes. The latest in-look is using a black eyeliner and Chocolate, Pewter, Deep Sea Blue or Charcoal as liner on top. Shine is still hot and the new Shimmer Dusts add just the right touch of glimmer and gleam to the eyes without overwhelming to give you an up-to-date look for fall.

The Face

The Face is nude and is the perfect palette for power lips or power eyes. Foundation is sheer and light for perfect looking skin. A touch of luminizer works wonderfully to reflect light away (which is also great for minimizing fine lines and a less than perfect texture). Your foundation should perfectly match your natural skin tone, or be just a shade lighter. Blush colors range from neutral to barely there earth tones. Your cheekbones should be accented, not have added color. A slight flush is the maximum amount of color for cheeks for the fall season.

The Lips

Lips continue to be frosted, but the base colors are plums, berries, pink, purples, and roses. Everything "pink" from warm to cool and the darkest burgandy and wine shades to the metallic nude. The most important part is shine, with a softer and more natural look. Matte finishes are gone for lips and glosses and stains are more natural looking. If you choose a dark lip color for fall, use neutral and flushed for the face and smoky eyes. Avoid heavy lipliners and and add the final touch of gloss or LipSheer. The Nails Nails continue to be done in Burgandies, Wines, Plums and deep wine colors with frost. You can match your nails to your lips or clothes or just select a deep rich color and top it with a sheer frosted color to coordinate with everything.
