What's New In Makeup For Fall

Celebrity Makeup Artists Point To Trends, Demo Products

"Hollywood Glamour" is a hot makeup look this fall. So is "Modern Sexy." And "Understated Chic" is "in," as well, according to three celebrity makeup artists who discussed the latest trends for autumn on The Early Show Wednesday.

The folks at makeup Mecca Sephora sent three top celebrity makeup artists to illustrate products from the companies they represent, and show the looks they enhance.

All products that were shown are available at Sephora and Sephora.com.

HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR

Lancome makeup artist Darais creates a timeless "Hollywood Glam" look that starlets such as Ann Hathaway are wearing on the red carpet, using black or blue liquid liner, lush lashes, and bold red lips.

PRODUCTS by Lancome:
Artliner in Noir or Blueberry $28
Oscillation Mascara $34
Rougelle Le Lipstique Lip Pencil $23
Red Stiletto Color Design Lipstick $22

MODERN SEXY

LORAC founder and makeup artist Carol Shaw recreates a smoky eye with a light lip, as she did on Debra Messing for the premiere of "The Women," as well as on Nicole Kidman for the Country Music Awards. It's a modern, sexy look, and her favorite for Red Carpet moments.

PRODUCTS by LORAC Cosmetics:
Natural Performance Foundation $35
Double Feature Concealer $24
Multi-Platinum Palette $37
Nude (#18) Lip Pencil $14
Mocktail Lip Gloss $18

UNDERSTATED CHIC

Clean eyes, sculpted cheeks, and berry-stained lips: This look, created by Dior makeup artist Ricky Wilson, is for the woman who wants less of a "makeup" look but who wants to tap into the hot fall trends. The eyes are defined with natural shades to make them stand out nicely, while eyeliner and a decent amount of mascara give her the edge she needs to get noticed. The cheeks are sculpted, and the look is finished off with a very wearable stain of a rich berry hue.
Leighton Meester of "Gossip Girls" likes it.

PRODUCTS by Dior Beauty:
2-Colour Eyeshadow in Bronzy Look $35
Waterproof Crayon Eyeliner in Intense Brown $25
DiorShow Iconic Mascara $27
Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in Front-Row Fig $25
DiorBlush in Pink Copper $27

Men wear makeup too!!

So this is for the guys who think that makeup is for the girls cupboards only...well you are wrong..hahah..lol. Guys apparently there are a few makeup items you could use to enhance your faces so that your girlfriends/wives/stalkers...lol..would have that OMG!!!(OH MY GOD) moment when they see you. seriously. It is not gay. i think it is sexy...esp when guys put on a little bit of eye liner..hahaha!!..There are apparently a few makeup lines that have brought out a few makeup items for guys...Mascara, eyeliner,powder..and the list keeps going on.....please i do not and will not approve of guys wearing lipstick or eyeshadow...lol....hahaha...no seriously!

It's no secret that actors have been prone to powder their noses, but a growing number of high-profile guys are drawing notice for rocking suspiciously ruddy glows offstage. Alongside Efron, a bevy of pretty boys have been cited recently for egregious makeup application: John Mayer, Jesse McCartney, Ryan Seacrest. Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, the world's most approachable hipster and patron saint of "guyliner," even gave a sober demonstration on applying eyeliner in People magazine a few months ago that would have made the late Tammy Faye Bakker proud.

Makeup Tips For Men

These days, makeup for men is becoming increasingly popular for that groomed shaved handsome looks of ramp models that make the men so desirable. Here are some tips that men can use:

• Use either white pressed powder or foundation similar to your skin tone as base.
• Mustaches and beards do not go well with foundation and eye shadow. So choose one or the other.
• A black kohl line under the eyes and sparing use of eye shadow can do for men so you do not look overdone.
• For particular looks, you may try body painting on forehead and cheeks along with glitters.
• Lipsticks in natural colors are good enough and it is better to use darker shades. However, the color depends on skin, eye and hair color and your hair cut and style.gloss. Concealers, fine eyeliner line and black mascara may be used.
• Choose blue or yellow-based colors after determining the undertone of your skin. You can seek professional advice to know the correct colors.

Trend Alert: Simple/natural makeup plus glowing skin(in some cases)!!

A lot of people have been asking me about natural looking makeup. I have a few examples of those...these are a few pics of friends,facebook friends, celebrties...blah blah..that i have seen and thought "oh wow, it seems like she has no makeup on"..even though they are wearing some makeup in some cases a lot of makeup...and for you guys who keep asking me to help you put on a natural looking makeup...or you do not want to much makeup...most of the time natural looking makeup..as i have constantly explained to one of my dear friends, looks natural...but during the process of wearing the makeup, you would be suprised at how much makeup one has to put on to get it looking very natural..or might i say.."like i do not have any makeup on"..which is what a lot of girls/women..these days want....as i have noticed.

ps: I am not saying these guys do not have makeup on..i am saying that for some it looks natural..and for some others...they might have quite a bit of makeup on, but it does not show plus it looks really good. So what i am trying to say is less can be better atimes!!!...so this is for those of you that are going for the simple, sultry(in most cases) look.
