Fall Makeup Trends and Tips


What's new and pretty in fall makeup?! Rich warm shades.  Wait, that isn't really new is it?

Just check out fall makeup ads, past & present and we'll see smoky brown, burnished copper, blazing red, sizzling gold, warm plum and so on. Once again, companies like Lancome, MAC, NARS, Bobbi Brown, etc. are showcasing these colors.  So, what's new?  We are actually wearing these shades!

Fall marks a return to the full face of makeup! Don't worry, it's classic, not clownish. Lancome's Fall French Coquettes ad (left) executes this look flawlessly - perfected skin, smoldering smokey eyes and the option of a devilishly deep plum lip or a nude lip that's just as naughty. On the A/W 2010 Fashion Week runway, the Christian Dior show also featured a stunning fall face...and you can too!

I'm helping you keep it pretty with a link to key products and a how to video!

Thanks for watching and thanks in part to http://scandalousbeautyonline.com/ for her inspiring version of the fall face!
