Ladies I’ve done my research and following are my top beauty picks for the fall season.  Try one or several of the trends out to update your look:

Siren Red Lips-

Red lipstick never goes out of style, it’s a classic.  How to wear: Well groomed brows, lot’s of mascara, minimal eye shadow and blush in warm neutral tones.

Check out: Kat Von D’s Painted Love Lipstick

Dark Vamped Lips-

An intense dark lip is so hip and makes a huge statement.  Look for shades of deep wines and purples or for a bolder look a jet black.  How to wear: Same as how to wear a red lip.  Instead of a warm neutral on the cheeks wear a cooler tone. 

Check out: MAC Cosmetics Media Lipstick

Diffused Gray Eyeshadow-

This is a great alternative to an extreme dark smoky eye.  Look for a matte gray with a purple or blue undertone for a soft diffused effect.  How to wear: Sweep a medium to light matte gray shadow over lids, apply lots of mascara and rim the eye with a kohl black eyeliner for definition.  Team up with a soft pink sheer lipgloss and blush. 

Check out: Aware Cosmetics Dove Grey Eyeshadow

Peachy Cheeks-

I simply love a peach tone blush, it perks your skin up and adds warmth to it.  Try a peachy blush with a hint of shimmer as an option to a matte one.  How to wear: Team peach or coral cheeks with a shimmery bronze or gold eyeshadow, lot’s of mascara and a soft glossy peach or nude lip. 

Check out: Nars Deep Throat or Amour Blush

Kohl Rimmed Eyes-

A simple way to add definition to the eyes.  How to wear: Apply a thin line of black in a kohl pencil, cream or gel eyeliner close to the lash line, wear lot’s of mascara and a neutral eyeshadow.  Team up with a bold or nude lip.

Check out: Wet N’ Wild’s Black Kohl Pencil

Nearly Nude Lips-

Wearing a nude glossy lip can give your pout lot’s of sex appeal.  Look for sheer, glossy shades in peach, pink and caramel.  How to wear: Wear warm or cool toned eyeshadow and blush, apply a neutral lip liner for minimal definition to the lips, then add a pretty nude gloss on top.

*Remember emphasize either your eyes or lips, but not both this season.

Stay beautilicious!

    this weekend we had our first Beauty Boot Camp and Kristen Phelps from Bobbie Brown was our guest speaker. She did a make over on an attendee and used the coral/peachy colors. Those colors looked great! Kim looked beautiful, very fresh, when Kristen finished her makeover!

    I just bought an AMAZING navy blue eyeshadow from Mary Kay and it makes the cutest smokey eye! Plus, I can wet it and use it as an eye-liner :-)
