Fall in love with fall beauty as we let you in on some of the hottest fall makeup trends for 2014. Through fashion week runways and red carpets, we’re seeing new trends, and we think you’ll love them just as much as we do.
For Skin:
Don’t do the dew. Dewy skin is beautiful, and a little highlighting is always necessary, but that dewy look is out with summer and a matte finish is in for the fall and winter seasons. Try either a pressed matte finishing powder, or a loose translucent powder to take away excess oil and help keep shine at bay. It also sets foundation to last all day.
For Brows:
Full, pigmented brows are in this fall. Sometimes, people often forget just how much definition, attention, and beauty your eyebrows can draw to your face. We’re currently seeing celebrities with thick, full, combed brows. The good news? Most women have time to accent their brows so they stand out. It’s definitely something we deem important to dramatize your fall look.
For Eyes:
The smoky eye is, has, and always will be trendy. However, were seeing women opting for the Smokey Brown Eye. Referred to by an artist as the “day time smoky eye”, the trick is simply to find a light brown or mocha shade of shadow, and blend throughout your entire lid and under the lash line, and use a darker brown to add depth to the corners. The “daytime smoky eye” has been popular this year on the runway.
Metallic shadows are making a shining statement right now. Add some metallic touches to your regular shadow routine by adding a pop of metallic orange in the corner of your eyes or under the lash lines. Silver and gold tones are always a good choice, as well as metallic shades of navy or turquoise. Don’t be afraid to play around with colors, just make sure the complement one another.
For Lips:
Lip color has a large range for fall as far as colors. Choose a simple peach, pink or a dark crimson red, but do make a choice, as lip color is a must. When it’s the perfect shade, your lip color is the perfect finishing touch. If your wearing a dark charcoal shadow, or have a smoky eye, a nude, peach, or apricot color always looks great. Deep berry colors are always on-trend this time of year. And a matte finish is also popular, just make sure if your foundation and lips are matte, you give your eyes a sparkle.
Make sure to include some of these items on your holiday make-up kit shopping list and be prepared to be in style this fall. For ladies who choose to go au natural? The bare skinned look is also in this fall. So mix it up and have fun with your look all season long.
