This fall, it's all about a new modern glamor. Each new trend is sexy and sophisticated and universal to all women. The key to pulling off these looks this season is confidence. The five hottest trends now are liquid eyeliner, red or wine shades of lipstick, the new gray eye shadow hue, and strong brows. Liquid liner has made a real comeback and was all over the runways. It's easier than you think to pull off and when you do it's the ultimate alluring look.
Black makes the boldest statement, but for the faint of heart go for eggplants, forest greens or bronzes. If you have a shaky hand and can just never draw on that fluid perfect line, no worries, simply apply the liquid in short connecting dashes. Keep a small tipped concealer brush dipped into a little foundation to clean up any mistakes. I like the short wand from Mac LiquidLast Liner because it it easier to control.
If it's the eyes you want to focus one go for the new hue of grey eye shadow. It's a sparkling brown grey that resembles warm granite. This can be swept across the lid from the lash line to the crease and under the lower lashes for a smoldering smoky eye effect. My favorite is Shu Uemura Eye Shadow in "ME Brown 850". Go for a more nude lip with this look so you don't look too made up. Brows should be full and healthy (think Brooke Shields or Ally McGraw). If yours are a bit thin or simply won't grow back fill them in with a bit of brow pencil to mimic the trend. Use the double ended Lorac Creamy Brow Pencil with color on one side and a great brow brush on the other.
Another sexy trend is red and wine shades of lipsticks and the colors can look beautiful on any lip shape. For smaller lips simply choose sheer colors with a hint of shimmer. The shimmer will capture the light giving the illusion of fuller lips and the sheerness of the color will give you a hint of the trend without going full-force. Try Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in "Guilt-Free". For those of you who want to paint on a bold opaque shade stick with creamy formulas, line the lips with a nude or clear lip pencil to keep lipstick from feathering. Try Guerlain Cupidon Lip Liner.
