The Face of Fall

We all know that trends repeat themselves, so this isn't actually an alert of an amazing new color concept in makeup, but more of a what-you-should-know for the latest looks that hit the runways in New Yorks famous Fashion Week that was held in New York City last week. Fashion forward styles include makeup and hair trends as well, so typically what is seen on the runways is what you'll soon find on the streets, so here's your guide to stay with (ahead?) of the pack.
Dramatic metallic smokey eyes with berry lips.

Metallic lids, bold berry rich lips and flawless skin were rampant in the fashion world. In my opinion, this look never gets old. There were a lot of bold eyebrows and smokey eyes as well, so you have a few choices to run with to complete your look this fall if you follow trends. Fashion aside, makeup completes your look, regardless of what you are wearing, and it can either dress you up or dress you down,so keep that in mind when attempting one (two or three) of the looks for fall.

The best way to get on board with the latest and greatest looks is to buy compact makeup shades that are sold together so you can get the colors that go together and compliment each other. Eyeshadows are a great place to start. Sometimes lipstick/glosses are also sold this way too. A berry pout in the same color family (cool or warm) that is best for your skin tone can never go wrong.

If you haven't noticed already, I am sure you will start to see now in magazine and t.v. commercials the ads selling these looks since what ever is seen on Fashion Week is what sets the trends for all cosmetic companies to follow. You don't have to use their interpretation as the gospel last word in makeup or fashion, because it really does boil down to making the look work for you, especially in the best shades that are most complimenting for you. Metallics and berries look great on everyone though, so you can't go wrong.
