8 Most beautiful Fall Make-Up Colors... according to allure magazine

Those of you like me, who happen to rock the reds in lipcolors are in luck with the first one.

1) Black Cherry Lips - These have been seen all over fall fashion runways, but to get this look just right you need to follow a few steps.

  • Start with a matching lip liner to keep the lipstick from smudging, fading unevenly, and bleeding. 
  • To ensure clean edges: paint on creamy lipstick with a stiff brush 
  • Amp up the intensity by adding layers.
  • To avoid looking washed out, don't forget blush!
To recreate this look try these:
  • 1) Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipcolor in Plum Perfect.
  • 2) Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Crimson.

2) Disco Black Eye-Shadow - Adding sparkle takes this look from goth to glam.
         You have two options here:

  • Dust it all over your lids
  • Trace it along your lower and upper lashes using a small stiff brush. 
Yes, most glittery eye-shadows of yesteryear shed and well, it's messy, just leave it at that. But make sure to pick up some new-generation creams and powders - the glide on easily, easy to blend, and stay on for hours.

3) RED-HOT FLUSH

Remember those days when it was dorky to match your blush to your lips? Different times have approached and now it's dead sexy! For crimson at least. You can choose any variety of red though to achieve the  "apres-ski" effect. As make-up artist Dick Page described it at the Michael Kors fall 2012 show, "all you need is a good blush brush and a bit of confidence." You can always tone it down - a drop of luminizer layered over your blush instantly tones down the fiery hue. 

To recreate here are two great products to do so:
1. Revlon PhotoReady Blush in Coral Reef AND 2. Dolce & Gabbana Lipstick in Italian Monica

4) Raspberry Lips - It's more demure than the electric pinks of seasons past. Sex it up by adding a dab of clear gloss in the center of your lips, looking juicy, not superglossy. 
1. Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited in Rosetto AND 2. 29 Cosmetics Grape Seed Age Protecting Lipstick in Sinfully Zin
  •  Shu Uemara Rouge Unlimited in Rosetto
  •  29 Cosmetics Grape Seed Age Protecting Lipstick in Sinfully Zin 
5) Inky Black Shadow - Dramatic Cat Eyes are the season's sexiest look and only requires one product: Matte black  eye shadow (stock up, because it takes alot). Wearing it with a wing seems to be a favorite and is seen everywhere, I have even adopted it. One Caveat: it get's messy. To keep it tide draw a light line of the shape you want in black eyeliner, then fill it in with powder. Use a cotton swab to blur the edges.

6) Matte Mauve All-Over - When worn softly and monochromatically it's right on this fall. Page, a make-up artist, recommends putting it just below the cheekbones with shimmery pink blush on the apples. and Topping the look off with mauve lipstick, a rose gloss, and mascara. 
 1. Estée Lauder Pure Color EyeShadow in Provocative Plum AND 2. Lancôme Color Design Sensation Effects Eye Shadow in Sultry Mauve Matte 
  • Estee Lauder Pure Color Eye Shadow in Provocative Plum. 
  • Lancome Color Design Sensation Effects Eye Shadow in Sultry Mauve Matte
7) Green and Gold Shadows - Unlike bright greens or pastel mint, dark green is superflattering on all skin tones.  It's as versatile as grey and brown, but much cooler. Look for a golden moss shade with a slight shimmery finish, and pair it with a warm gold for a rich combination. Brush the golden eye-shadow over the entire lid , then the green one over the crease and along the lower lash line. Finish with neutral lips and cheeks. 
1. Maybelline New York Eye Studio Marbleized Eyeshadow in Ivy Icon AND 2. Smashbox Limitless 15 Hour Wear Cream Shadow in Riches

  • Smashbox Limitless 15 Hour Wear Cream Shadow in Riches
8) Silver and Purple Shadows - When worn together, they make a cool combo that's like colorblocking your eyes. Brush lavender (choose one that's more blue than red) over your lids and sweep silver under your lower lashes. Feeling Flashy? Just line your top lid with purple and try silver all over your lids, alternating the two colors until you reach your brows. Whatever you do, make sure you apply it precisely.
