Don't be Spooked by Fall's New Colors


I have decided to better organize all of the style and beauty information, I will post a specific topic each weekday. So Monday will be tips on cosmetics. Check out the blog tomorrow to see what tomorrow's topic will be!

Feeling a little intimidated by Fall's brighter make up shades?

The fashion world is abuzz about bold, bright make up colors for fall and winter. Think peacock teals, rich golds, deep purples and royal blues. But how do real women make these vibrant hues work for their everyday lives?

Choose the right color eye shadow for you. Any woman can wear this season's deep plums and lush greens. It's all in the tone you choose. We are not wearing these colors like we did in the 80's. Today's look is more subtle. Experiment with eyeliner in one of these colors instead of shadow. And choose pencil over liquid eyeliner. It's more forgiving and less harsh.

Go for the smokey eye. Cotton swaps are a great way to smudge out your pencil eyeliner to get an instant smokey eye look. Use a coordinating eye shadow for a stronger evening look.

Cover your bases. If you want to try that forest green eye shadow make sure it doesn't end up in the crease of your eye by lunch time. Apply eye shadow base before you apply your eye make up. Many woman also fight the constant battle with their make up- it ends up running by the end of the day. Using a make up primer before applying your foundation is the trick to preventing this.

Make Fall lip colors work for you. Red and hot pink are big for Fall, but that can seem like a lot of color if you're used to having a more natural looking lip. One way to try to ease into a bolder lip color is to start with a gloss for just a hint of color. Then transition into a sheer lip stick. Finally, try a full-on lip stick- especially for evening events.
