Autumn/Fall trend 2012 make up look

Normally I don't blog about make up, but that doesn't mean it isn't important to complete your outfit!!! Like Tyra Banks says: "You should rock it from H to T"!!! So I hope you guys like this report about fall make up trends.

Makeup artists played with dark and light this season, working soft and neutral tones into the skin one moment then pulling out pots of deep rouge and atmospheric ink the next. 

Take that as your cue to make a statement with a rich excess — or sleek absence — of color on lids, lashes and lips. Either way, it’s forward thinking for fall. Plus, see the top hair trends for Fall 2012.

Mulberry Mouths
Red is always right for fall but the most captivating looks featured a deep mulled-wine stain with rich chocolate undertones. Finishes ranged from creamy matte to high patent-leather gloss, all offset by perfect skin for contrast. The beauty is in the prep work: buff away any flakes with an exfoliating lip treatment before layering clear balm underneath your red to adjust the intensity to your liking.

Futuristic Eyes
Makeup artists went Mad Max backstage applying sci-fi grease paint around the eyes at Prada and smudging away with black kohl at Marc Jacobs. While you might not choose to go to such extremes, you can push the edge a little more than usual with dramatically dark carbon black liners applied in thick strokes and saturated eye shadows swooped beyond the outer corners to accentuate your gaze.

Defined Brows
With all the backward glances made to retro elegance this season, it’s no wonder that beautifully strong brows continued to draw attention. Play up your shape by feathering on pencils and shadows to accentuate the arch — and just for fun, maybe even add a few sparkles.

Mesmerizing Multi-Toned Eyes
Statement-making eyes were the talk of the fall shows, especially the kind that imitated the brilliant blue-brown plumes of peacocks at Prabal Gurung, the cool painterly greens of landscapes at Jason Wu, and the cobalt sea at Anna Sui. For a chic and wearable version, look for shadows with hints of silver or gold mixed into the color to soften the effect and complement your skin tone.

 Fresh & Natural Faces

Undone skin is usually reserved for spring, but it also made a surprise appearance on the fall runways. Makeup artists experimented with monochromatic contouring with nude tones at Valentino, fresh and inventive pops of lipstick on the cheeks at Michael Kors, and dewy complexions aplenty at Vera Wang.

Smoky Browns
Fashion loves to reinvent black, and judging by the array of browns used backstage, it’s the new, well you know. The beauty of this smoldering shade is its versatility — it can be layered on for more or less intensity and suits all complexions. Try rimming your eyes with anything from khaki to mocha, then blurring it out for a rich look.

Electric and playful

The runways for spring were sprinkled with pops of  cobalt blue , which is a perfect alternative for those that aren’t keen on a typical pastel palette. This bold color adds a sophisticated punch when worn in the form of tailored  blazers  and blouses, but is electric and playful when worn as handbags or statement  jewelry . Get a head start and add this color to your wardrobe before all the blue-fanatics snatch it up this spring. Transforming bright shirts, shoes, dresses and even pants, cobalt blue has been surrounding all the runways this season. Paired with black, it has been the theme of some designer’s shows, including  Monique Lhuillier , who centered all of her  Spring 2012  pieces around the brilliant cobalt blue, basic black, a stunning yellow, and bright white. This color has been proven to be practical in an incredible amount of ways. The latest trend in jeans-wear is the colored jean. There are fifty-five colors alone at...

Glam Camouflage: the Not-So-Invisible Trend

Image
With Spring well within our grasp and the yearly print trend set to make an emergence, the time has come to address that tetchy issue; that is the camouflage debate. Camouflage print has a lot of well-earned stigma attached, with military overkill and three-quarter length cargo shorts carrying much of the blame. This season, camouflage is set to make a massive comeback becoming one of the most coveted looks of the summer. Of course, it’s not what you wear but the way you wear it. Follow these tips to make sure you stay camouflage cool. What I'm wearing: From Temptation Boutique: Top, Shorts: Miss Me Jeans, Ring: Rhinestones and the Earrings: Rhinestones Hoop. Belt: Ti amo, Necklace: GUESS, Rain Boots: HUNTER, Bag: Evisu, Bracelet Watch: GUESS, 3 pieces Bracelets: H&M When you think of camo, you normally picture heavy duty, “manly” apparel. However, spring 2012’s runways were filled with colorful camo patterns that looked – dare I say it – actually ladylike! The t...

How to wear leopard print shoes

What I'm wearing: Shoes: Limited Edition One of the quickest ways to add a dash of personality to any outfit is to mix in a pair of leopard print shoes. But, as popular and fun as they are, leopard prints don't really work with everything. In fact, I can probably name more colors and outfits that leopard print shoes don't work with than I can items they will. The good news is, when you get the right combination, it's a tough one to beat for drama, glamour and sex appeal. Below are a few tips on what to wear with leopard print shoes. The Obvious Choice for Leopard Print Shoes : Black It almost goes without saying, but  black dresses , skirts, and pants are a perfect match for leopard print shoes. Not only because leopard prints have black in them -- although that certainly doesn't hurt -- but also because black really emphasized the lighter tones in traditional leopard print patterns. So, that's an easy one, and you could just r...
