Fall Makeup Guide

Fall is right around the corner and before you know it the leaves will be turning vibrant shades of gold, red and brown. Now is the perfect time to clean out your eyeliners.

Then and Now

The dominant 2010 fall makeup trend are split between barely there and full on glam. The lighter look of sheer foundation and dark smokey eyes of Fall '09 are still in vogue, but this year, an overall natural look is the big thing, especially for your dayday routine. Nude lipstick, minimal coverage with a little bit of glow and just a touch of mascara create an easy, fresh look for the colder months. If that's too little makeup for you to bear, don't worry! For eyeshadow lovers, bright, neon eye shadows will make your eyes pop. Using two or more colors for both eye lids and under the eye is the way to make a bold statement. Ruby red lips are also all over the runways. Keep everything else simple and low key and find your perfect red, then work it! Here is what's in.   |}

Perfect Brows

Great skin is always in and always has been, but what has been getting more attention lately are eyebrows! Having clean brows with a gentle, but nicely defined arch can really make your eyes pop. Plus, what's great about having perfect brows is that, even without makeup on (or very little on), you'll still look beautiful. Unlike a few years ago when brows were brow kits to try this fall.

So Fresh and So Clean

One trend that has lived on over the years is the luminating concealer brush. It is essentially a concentrated liquid concealer that comes in a tube. On one end is a concealer brush, and on the other is a mechanical twist mechanism. It's like having a liquid concealer and concealer brush combined into one easy to carry makeup item. To use, just twist and click and the concealer will rise up out of the tube into the brush. Instead of using a finger to apply the concealer you just paint it on with the soft brush. This is an extra gentle method of applying eye makeup so that you won't damage the soft tissue around your eyes, a major cause of puffiness and dark circles. The great thing about the concealer is that it's infused with illuminating minerals to give your eyes a bright, wide awake look. Some even have a cooling factor to them so that tired, red eyes will feel soothed. There are also concealer brushes for the rest of your face too. Here are a few brands to try out. * Neutrogena Skin Soothing undereye corrector * Revlon Skinlights Illusion Wand * Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen * Tarte The Eraser Concealer * Pixi Undercover * Clarins Instant Light Perfecting Touch * Benefit Lyin' Eyes * Bourjois Illuminating Concealer Pen * Givenchy Mister Light Instant Light Corrective Pen !

Getting That Natural Look

This season is all about the natural, fresh-faced look during the day. It may be scary to some who live and die by their makeup, but done right you can look radiant. It'll also save you a lot of time applying make up in the morning.
