Get the look: Sephora’s fall 09 beauty trends
Straight off the runway to your laptop, we are giving you the fiercest makeup looks to try. Because we at COVERINGS don’t believe you should ever leave your house bare faced, see how to get these looks, with a little help from Sephora’s.
The Cat Eye is back with a vengeance. However, unlike last years trend of rocking it in bold hues like fuchsia, it’s back to basic black. The Cat Eye is a great way to play up your eyes in one makeup step. You can create a look that is exotic and bold with just black liner (or black eyeshadow and a liner brush) and a flick of the wrist.
One of the biggest surprises this fall is the carrying over of candy colors. Make up your lids in a candy colored palette. This look should be reserved for the younger crowd, like under 30. Think about it. Would you take someone with an assortment of candy color eye lids seriously? No? Then, you see my point. However, don’t deny yourself these fabulous colors. Pick one and play it up on your eyes.
The smokey eye is one of my favorite beauty looks. This fall the look is even edgier. The Extreme Smokey Eye is for those who are a little more daring with their beauty look and will leave you with smoldering eyes, but beware. While dark makeup can really make your eyes pop, it can also make them look smaller.
For the more demure beauty addicts, why not do up your eyes in gray? Fall is giving us a softer side of beauty by offering an alternative to the Extreme Smokey Eye. Add this color to your beauty bag. It’s an easy color to wear and still delivers a smoldery look without the harshness that a smokey eye sometimes gives.
The beauty phrase of the season is big and bold, as in big hair and bold eyebrows. Vamp up your hair this fall and give the illusion of a head full of thick hair. As for your brows, no one is going to believe you have all that hair if you have thin little eyebrows. So, fill them in ladies! Check out Sephora’s makeup tips on how to make your brows bold.
Speaking of vamp, falls lip colors seem to be vampire inspired. Stain your lips in dark plums, deep reds, and blackish burgundies. However, keep in mind it is a delicate balancing act to play up your lips and eyes without coming off like a circus clown. If you’re going heavy on the lip color, then do something a little lighter for the eyes. Also, remember that these colors have a tendency to show any and all flaws. So, make sure you moisturize and exfoliate your lips prior to application, and prep your lips with a matching liner to keep your lipstick in place and fend off bleeding.
