BEAUTY REPORT: Fall 2011 Trends!

Breaking Beauty News!
   The designers all over the world have spoken, sending down their models  for fashion week with the top makeup and nail looks for the fall. I'll give you a hint: brows, wings, matte...and snakes-Yes some of it might shock you!


Trend 1: Winged-Eyes

The winged eye-shadow and liner, seen on these Marc Jacobs models is so in! Bold and  intriguing, this is probably not the best look to wear to work, but awesome to try on the weekends or out on the town. The bonus of the winged-eye look is that it gives the illusion of a more defined cheeked bone, which instantly slims the face. Tip:To get the look-use this makeup artist trick of placing clear scotch tape from the top of the cheek bone right up to the temple, or wherever you want the wing when applying eye-shadow. After you covered the area remove the tape and it will look like you applied a perfectly defined strip of color!

Trend 2: Rich Lips

This season pair a nude matte face with rich juicy lips. Oranges, reds, and sultry maroons and dark wine colors are all the rave.The best thing about this look is that it gives a regal, expensive, and classy look with out a lot of effort. Orange and reddish colors look great on practically every skin tone, and there's so much variety out there! Tip: No more applying straight from the tube. Invest in a lip brush for a flawless application. I have one from E.L.F. cosmetics that makes my lips look perfectly painted. Not bad for $1.99!!!

Trend 3: Bold Brows

The catwalk had nothing but bold brows this season. Arched, highlighted,defined and completely full. To get the look, use a brow gel or brow pencil that is one shade lighter than your natural brow color and blend to highlight the eyes. If your brows are on the sparse side, try the new brow markers they give an excellent natural looking fullness.

Trend 4: Slithering, Serpent Nails

Yes. Snakeskin is in, not just on bags and boots this year,but nails. Snake-like patterns are now the hottest nail design, and some celebrities are paying over $1000 for manis+ pedis that lays real shedded snake skin over their nails! Just an imitated pattern will be just fine for me, Thanks...



Even Estee Lauder is playing on the snake trend, with the new bronzer pattern!



Not quite into the snake trend? Well dark metallic nails will do. Grays, greens, silvers, and golds are the fall colors. These colors in the new Chanel nail collection set the mold. Stunning!

In my expert opinion ;) The new NARS fall collection is going to be one of  the hottest, for fall. It has elements of all the emerging trends, with classic subtly.

Well Beauties, Now your hip for the fall looks! Always Be Beautiful!
