Fall Make Up Trends

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday September 8, 2011

Back to school, back to work and out of vacation mode. Boo. I always say- when in a funk, get out with a brand new lipstick! To make the transition a little easier, we've got three very wearable and very cute make up faces for you to try out.

All Natural Beauty

This look requires nature inspired shades like sky blues, mossy greens and golden browns which look deep and rich on eyes, without being overpowering. Avoid heavy liners, this look is all about looking light and fresh- let your natural beauty shine through! Neutrals like beige and champagne are perfect for highlighting your brow and cheekbone. Keep it simple on your lips with tinted balm or gloss.

1. Clairns Everlasting Compact Foundation (C$32.00)
2. Stila In The Light Palette (US$39.00)
3. Joe Fresh Highlighter (C$8.00)
4. Covergirl Intense ShadowBlast (US$8.99)
5. Quo All Over Face Palette (C$18.00)

Dramatic Night Out

For this look, we're talking about bold and bright colours, sparkles, big lips, big eyes and big drama. Achieve this look with deep blues and blacks topped off with a glitter liquid liner. Of course, attention getting lashes are a must with this look. No ensemble is complete if you don't have glamorous nails- and with this look, sparkly nails are obviously our first choice.

1. Yves Saint Laurent Ombre 5 Lumieres in Midnight Garden (C$72.00)
2. Deborah Lippman Nail Polish in 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy' (US$16.00)
3. Annabelle Glitterama Liquid Eyeliner (C$7.95)
4. Benefit They're Real! Mascara (US$22.00)

Vintage Vibes

The colour of pumpkins always reminds me of fall- that fabulous burnt orange colour is so chic and how about some of that on your nails? Pair with burgundy and olives for a vintage 60's and 70's influence. Try playing with colour while still getting the definition you want in your eyes with a navy liquid liner. Don't forget a large barrell curler to achieve those Farrah Fawcet-esque winged curls! A rosy pink blush completes the look for a healthy glow.

1. Joe Fresh Customizable Eye Shadow Palette (C$12.00)
2. Joe Fresh Nail Polish in Pumpkin (C$4.00)
3. T3 Single Pass Whirl Curler (US$130.00)
4. Joe Fresh Liquid Liner in Navy (C$6.00)
5. Stila Custom Colour Blush in Coral (US$20.00)

Pretty in Pink

Pink, pink, pink, pink and more pink. This look calls for soft blushes, kissable lips and pastel shadows. Don't go with heavy black liner, if you are wearing liner, try a brown for daytime. A pink blush on the apples of the cheeks gives a glow and highlighter to illuminate gives a fresh, young look. Glossy lips and a pink lipstick Barbie would approve of finish the look off.

1. Joe Fresh Highlighter (C$8.00)
2. Quo Beauty for a Cause Lip Gloss in Stiletto (C$10.00)
3. Yves Saitn Laurent Rouge Volupe Perle in Celestial Mauve (C38.00)
4. L'Oreal Color Infaillible in Forever Pink (C$10.99)
