Fall Makeup
Must Haves
Nail Polish
One reason fall is my favorite season is because of the range of beautiful dark nail polishes there are. This season there are more blue and gray tones then last season. Fall 2011 had a red and purple trend. For a fall must have i picked a charcoal color which is absolutely stunning for Fall and even Winter. The first is Nars Storm Bird (Barneys, 18.00) The second is Sephora by OPI Break a Legwarmer (Sephora, 9.50)
Lipstick
Nothing says Fall and Winter more than a bold red lip! Now, with red lipstick you have two different types of colors. There are Red Orange Lipsticks and Red Blue Lipstick. For a more deep rich color you want go towards a Red Blue color. It gives your look a old hollywood glamour feeling. The Department Store color I have had my eye on for Fall is NARS Terre De Feu (NarsCosmetics, 25.00) and the drugstore dupe for that gorgeous color is Makeup Geek Ravishing (Makeupgeek, 7.99)
Eye Shadow
A great way to make your eye pop and stand out more is by adding a little bit of shimmer to your inner corner and brow bone. Stila Kitten has been raved about for how beautiful it is. Stila Kitten is a peachy nude shimmer eyeshadow that brings a dramatic touch to your eyes. So of course, my first pick for Fall is Stila Kitten (Sephora, 18.00). A great drugstore dupe for Kitten is CoverGirl's Shimmering Sands Palette (Ulta, 4.99)
Mascara
Along with Stila Kitten eyeshadow to make your eyes more dramatic, you need an amazing volumizing mascara! Dior Diorshow Mascara is my pick for this Fall and Winter. It is not only volumizing but also lengthening. It makes you look like you have false lashes with out having them on! It is one less step to your makeup routine. My Department Store Mascara pick is Dior Diorshow New Look Mascara (saksfifthavenue, 29.00) My Drugstore Pick is Great Lash Mascara (walmart, 4.44)
Blush
Adding a brighter Rosy blush to your cheeks in the Fall and Winter are a great way to enhance your look and make your face brighter. In the summer the trend is to make your face look a tad darker by using a nice golden bronzer and a tad deeper of a blush. In the Fall and Winter, you want your skin to be brighter and a little bit dewy! Try adding a Rose colored blush and a highlight and your face will look beautiful and flawless! My Department Store Blush Pick is Giorgio Armani's Brown Sand #1 Blush (giorgioarmani, 49.00). A great dupe that is a little less expensive than GA's is Mac's Prism Blush (MACcosmetics, 20.00)
Perfume
For fall you want a perfume that is still girly but has a bit of spice to it. You want it to be feminine but toned down to translate it from a Spring/Summer Scent to a Fall/Winter scent. For my Department Store Perfume Scent I picked Miss Dior Cherie (Sephora, 82.00). For a similar scent but better price, I picked Jessica Simpson Fancy (Macy's, 49.00)
