1. Cat-eyes
Cat-eyes are a big style making a comeback this fall. Throughout the 60's, this feline trend was a basic to every-day makeup. If you're not ready to commit to BABOOM winged liner, try a more toned-down version of the cat-eye by minimizing the overall thickness of the liner, how far it goes out and in towards your tear-duct, and the color. I would say that a darkish brown color is best if you want to make it more casual, especially if you have lighter hair. If you want big-impact eyes, draw the liner in all the way to your tear-duct and far out also, keeping the line thick and smooth all the way through. (Tip: remember to angle the brush to get a much thinner line along the inside of your eye and as the outside line comes to a tip.) Keep it black if you want dramatic eyes, and also if you want and even bigger deal, bring the line all the way down to your lower lash-line, disappearing towards the middle of your eye.
2. Bright lips
This season bright-colored matte lips are becoming a big trend. Whether it's bubble-gum pink, tomato red, or bright orange, this look is great for virtually any occasion. To get the look, consider your face complexion, hair color, and eyes in the decision to pick the right shade for you. If you have yellow undertones, go for more warm colors, like orange and tomato red. If you have blue/pink undertones, go for colder colors such as frosty pink, darker red, and peach. Remember, this is a pretty strong look, so keep everything else toned-down. Wear no blush and very minimal mascara.
3. Big, dark eyes
Big, thick lashes and drop-dead smokey eyes are becoming a common look this fall. The way you execute it depends on your eye structure and brow. If you have a heavy brow bone and/or smallish deep-set eyes, don't do as much liner on the top lid because it'll drown your eyes instead of making them look bigger. Try a little liner on the bottom lashes as well as curling your eyelashes and doing mascara. If you have large eyes or a lighter brow bone, go for more makeup on top. Try a blended smokey eye with black liner on the top lid. Place the charcoal/dark brown shadow close to your lash-line and slowly blend up to the crease on the outside of your eye and blend inward. Most of the makeup should be on the outer corner of your eyelid. If you want to do more, blend eyeliner down to the bottom lash-line.
4. Frosty Nude Lip & A Touch of Blush
When it gets colder out, you're going to want to respond to the weather with this frosty lips and a little color on the cheeks to warm you up. Again, the same skin tone rule applies to not only lips, but cheeks. So, if you have yellow undertones, look for warmer shades like orangey pink. If you have blue/red undertones, try peach, and cold pink. Apply the color starting at the outside of the cheekbones and blend in towards your face into the apple of your cheek. If it helps to find where this is, suck in your cheeks to make a fish face, so it is clearer. To get a cold, pale lip, try dabbing an ivory pink color or a creamy nude shade onto your lips, making the pale color most prominent on the outside of the lips. Or, if you don't have the right shade or the lipstick isn't thick enough, blend in with some foundation/concealer before you apply the color to make your lips paler to begin with.
5. Pastel Shadow
Wearing any color eyeshadow is a difficult style to pull off; it can take a turn for the worse very easily. Here's how to accomplish this with out looking like a clown. First, if you don't want to risk it, go with a shade a few shades lighter than your skin color. Make sure the color isn't too bright, and that it compliments the rest of your face. Then, to apply, start by putting most of the color near the lash-line and blend up all around your lid. To finish it off, line your lash-line with black eyeliner or dark brown depending on your hair, and maybe do some on the bottom lashes too. Apply mascara if you want.
6. Dark Lips
When it's dark and the leaves are falling off the trees, there's no better way to get into the fall weather than to go for a dark red lipstick. According to your skin, have the lipstick shade be approximately 3, 4, or even 5 shades darker than your skin. Keep everything else to a minimal, so there isn't too much going on.
Well, I hope this helps you cheer up in the chilly weather this autumn, and I hope this leads you to trying new styles and seeing what works for you.
