Fall Makeup Trends – Part 2

23 Oct

One of my favorite makeup looks this fall is the balanced face. Equal definition on lips and eyes looks sophisticated, sexy and polished.

Trend #2: Balanced Definition

Goes well with: Elegant day wear (think Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss); or skinny jeans tucked into knee length boots.

Our take:

Start with a flawless complexion. Apply Dream Tint Tinted Moisturizer with the Blending Brush.
Blush the cheeks softly with In Touch Cream Blush.
Next, apply PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation with the Handi Brush and mist face gently with Hydration Spray.
Now for the eyes. Choose a PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple: apply the lightest shade to the lid, the medium shade to the crease and the darkest shade to the outer corner. Lift the eye a bit by winging up ever so slightly.
Line the eyes with a coordinating shade of an Eye Pencil. Since I am horribly eyeliner-challenged, I always use the Detail Brush, picking up color from an eye pencil and applying it to the lash line with the brush. I get a smoother application and it gently blends and smudges it all at once.
Finish the eyes with PureLash Lash Extender&Conditioner and several coats of Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascara in Black Ice
To create a softly defined lips: Line and fill in the lips with a Lip Pencil and top with a coordinating shade of PureGloss Lip Gloss.

Here are some shade combinations to try:

Silver Lining PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple with Black/Grey Eye Pencil; In Touch Cream Blush in Connection; Terra Cotta Lip Pencil with Iced Mocha PureGloss Lip Gloss.
Khaki Kraze PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple with Black/Brown Eye Pencil; In Touch Cream Blush in Chemistry; Sienna Lip Pencil and Hazelnut PureGloss Lip Gloss.
Cloud Nine PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple with Black/Grey Eye Pencil; In Touch Cream Blush in Charisma; Rose Lip Pencil and Rasberry PureGloss Lip Gloss.
