sorry if this isn't the right place for this post - Mods are welcome to move it as nessecary.


so if you had to name a couple themes for the fall what would they be? obviously things in the new collections reflect what's "hot", but what are going to be some wearable trends?

I'm *crosses fingers* hopefully heading to MAC this weekend to (finally) get Fix+, Old Gold pig, and Black Tied e/s. anything else I should definately pick up?

I was just at a trade meeting and across the board in makeup (not just MAC I mean) I'm seeing alot of red toned shadows and navy in addition to all the chocolate colors out. Lips are deep reds and wines and chocolates as well. And then lighter golden beiges to highlight or as a gloss. Shimmer is still good but not soooo much, more subtle shimmer and mattes are making a comeback in lips and eyes. Like I said, this is what I noticed in all lines looking ahead for fall/holiday.

In MAC I would say Untamed fits this pretty well and as for existing shades maybe Blue Edge, Full Flame, Cranberry, Mulch, Dazzlelight or Ricepaper for eyes and I don't wear deep colors on my lips so I'm not sure about that, but it all looks real pretty! I was so tired of pale pink and turquoise, I'm ready for fall!!!

i was just reading lucky magazine and they had "fall makeup update"

look one.graphic eyes
Key:black liner, Either stylized bat's-wings or a smoky look is right.

Look two. Stained lips
key: A strong, saturated shade-from ruby red to berry to plum-with otherwise subdued makeup is polished and french-gammie chic.

Look three- Vivid Color
key: A zingy touch of jewel-toned shadow or eyeliner gives a clean, natural look instant attitude

and seventeen had "fall trends" and these
red lips
midnight eyes
winged liner
bold brows
dewy skin
smoky eyes


i hope that helped!

I read in Cosmopolitan Style and Beauty that Amber Lights is a good shadow to wear. it goes with any skin tone.

it's called "bronze-eyed girls" and below it "this shimmery shadow is all the rage. No wonder, it makes every eye shade sparkle." and the shadow they featured was amber lights.

I'm seeing two big releases pushing trends right now - bronze and champagnes (Tom Ford for EL) and a soft pink girlish look (Westman's new 'Enchantress' line for Lancome).
Beyond that I think it's going to be very 30's inspired, judging by the 2007/2008 shoots I've been working on lately - porcelain skin, subtle but contoured eyes, lots of lashes and kissed-off rosebud mouths. I'm also seeing a real push for modernised 50's glamour as well, as generally make-up trends are moving away from the current look (dark eyes, nude mouth, lots of bronzer) that's starting to look very dated.

This is in the southern hemisphere though, we're running a season ahead of you. We're coming into summer as the north is going out of it, so what's hot here is a good prediction of what's going to be big in the US/UK next season. This winter was all about experimenting with liquid and gel liners with subtle false lashes, plum/wine/berry lipstick in a 50's bow, well manicured eyebrows, waved hair, deep bronze eyes, manicured nails in really dark chocolate/blackened plum, etc etc. It wasn't full-on vamp, but close.

i've mentioned before that making my lips dark is like putting a black hole on my face and the rest of my face just gets sucked into my lips....that's probably the best way to describe it, i look horrible with dark lips
hmm.gif


but i've seen tons of navy's and tons of golds.... a bit of purple too..

i honestly prefer to stick to my pale lips and light blues and turquoises.

but ps you will love black tied

Two really basic things - we've overdosed on lipgloss and glitter... so it's swinging the other way with a more "finished" look (still some dewy skin but certainly the supershiny thing is on its way out) and back to lipstick.
