Fall 2013 Makeup Trends

LIPS

High Impact Red lips. Well, its not just Red lips but includes deep burgandys and pinks too, depending on what best suits your particular skin tone.

Really it is more of a lip statement then just red lips. The look is meant to have you always use a lipliner that matches the lipstick exactly. Once the outer line is drawn, it is suggested you fill in the entire lip with the pencil, as well.

TIP: Always always always, sharpen your pencil to a crisp point before use. This is the best way to get the most out of this look. This process should give you a matte baked lip that does not move.

For those of you who are not used to such a strong color on your lips, you could ease into it using lip stains or glosses but once you switch to a pencil and rich creamy lipstick to overlay, keep away from glosses and follow instructions, above.

Why such a strong lip, you may ask? Its the fastest way for an instantly pulled together look.

With this strong a mouth, keep the rest of your makeup really really simple. A groomed brow, a polished skin tone. In fact it looks more beautiful if you let your skin be seen through the foundation.

SKIN TONE:

Flawless beautiful, real and sophisticated with HD foundations that are luxurious and light but with a demi-matte finish.

EYES:

1. In some cases, eyes are made up and then taken away giving one a look of having just taken off your makeup so there is still just a trace there.

2. A stronger dramatic wing is also a big movement to look out for this fall. A robust dramatic wing on the top that covers most of the lower eyelid and pulls the liner quite a way out to the side giving the look of a bat’s wing.

3.  Under the lower lashes (this is my favorite look this season) instead of a soft smudged shadow or for that matter a solid line, this time hyphened lines under the lashes like dashes leaving small spaces between them. Tres Edgy.

MASCARA

Black Mascara on top lashes. Brown mascara on bottom lashes. Groomed and perfected brows. Sometimes with not much else on the eye itself besides a skin tone powder.
