[Pink_minx]

Since fall is coming up pretty close what make up colors are best for fall? and what MU colors not to use for fall?

[kimmy]

i believe it was kevyn aucoin who teaches that there are no rules to makeup ;] "makeup should be fun, not facist"

wear whatever you feel like wearing, girl!!

[PrimpinKitty]

ITA! Wear what makes you feel pretty, not what matches the season =) Or you could always stick to the color story of the month!

I don't change my colors. I wear bronzer all year round.

I used to use MACs Refined Golden, but I now consider my Bare Minerals Warmth as a bronzer. I use a little more then they say and it gives a bronzing effect for me. If you like MAC I would go for there's. I don't buy it anymore, but I loved it.

I wear everything all year round whatever color I'm feeling that day is what I go with regardless of the time of year.

Bronzer is a must have all year round I have been using Nars Laguna bronzer and it works miracles but I am thinking of trying MAC's bronzer. I use MAC Trace Gold blush sometimes for an all over bronzer but I want to try something new.

2nd about the no rules!
But I still feel that in winter I'm using my dark l/s a lot more.
YSL has great fall l/s!

[Pink_minx]

Yes I agree with you ladies. I worn colors like blue, purple, teal, and other lighter bright colors. and someone I know said that I didnt match, those colors are more for summer.

If you look good, you are in fashion, regardless of the time of year. I too wear bronzer year round, but especially in winter. Otherwise I look dead.

I bought Refined Golden and now its somewhere in my traincase.

Warmth is perfect... It doesn't make you look like you have bronzer on, it actually looks real.. Its lovely

[so_siqqq]

I agree with the bronzer and blush.
If you don't you'll look drab in the fall/winter months.
As for eye/lip colors. Whatever floats your boat.
Makeup is style not a fashion trend that comes and goes.

Yeah, I like bronzer because it livens up the skin and warmth does the same thing, but looks natural.

I agree with the rest of the girls,wear whatever suits YOU!Purple is in fashion for fall,but you might not look good in purple..so what are you gonna do?Wear purple just because it's in fashion??Nooooooooo way!!

I think you should just change formulas in fall/winter,not colors!For example you'll need a more moisturizing foundation,because the cold makes the skin quite dry!So,in general you need richer formulas!

[Hawkeye]

You can wear whatever you want.
NOW,
I've heard that rich colors are in for fall. Like Dark Green, dark purple, chocolate, red, dark blue.......

but then again when arent they?

[peike]

I also feel you should wear whatever suits you and what you feel looks best on you I personally usually use darker colors in fall

[72Cosmo]

I wear purple tones and have for years. They're my favorite and it looks like this year I'll be wearing the "in" look. I do wear darker lipstick in winter. Purple tones look good on me and I love them.

Well I agree with what everyone's saying about "wear whatever you want whenever you want"-- make up should be fun, it's not about rules. That said, it seems like you're asking what looks the most fall-like and seems best suited to the season.

As for me personally, while I COULD keep sporting the bright blues and greens and pinks... those colors say spring and summer to me. So I'll be wearing a lot of plum and dark smoky purples, dark greens, charcoal, copper and dark orange/red, gold, and browns. Colors that remind me of fall leaves, cold weather, that sort of thing. Darker lips, blush instead of bronzer. Less shimmer overall (though I still like shimmery shadow on the eyes)-- blush and lip colors that are more matte. Maybe shiny, but not sparkly or glittery. Black, plum, brown or dark green eyeliner-- I'll save the bright blue for spring. If I'm lazy and just going to do a wash of color on my eyes it'll be gold or soft brown-- not the pastel colors I would use as a wash in spring and summer. Some people like to wear blues in fall, but I like to stick with mostly warm shades-- I'll bring out the blue in winter for the whole ice princess look.

HTH

yeah I always go for darker colors on my eyes during the summer and winter then pink colors on my lips and blush!
