The Ins and Outs of Fall: Makeup

We've selected the most current trends and best products for flawless fall faces.  Just like the fashion trends, this fall's makeup is all about looking pretty and polished and  most of all, ladylike. 

(and of course our favorite makeup artist, Julie Burr from Laura Mercier, shares her pics for Laura's newest products on how to apply them)

 

Eyes- 

In: The classic smokey eye.  Use Laura Mercier Sateen Cream Color smoothed all over the eye with your finger.  Then, using the Caviar liner, smudge over the bottom eyelid, close to the lash.  This combination will last all day and night.

Thick lashes.  Laura Merier has never been know for mascara but new Full Blown Lash Volume Thickening Mascara is awesome and will not get dry or flaky! 

Out: Glitter on the eyes. 

Lips-

In: Deep red wine shades.  Sheer color.  Try Black Cherry Cream Lip Color from the new  Black Velvet Collection.

Out:  Bright pink lips.

Skin-

In: Porcelain matte finish.  The key is shine control.  Keep Bare Minerals Shine Control Sheets in your purse.  They work great.

Out: The dewy look

Finishing Touches: OPI Diva of Geneva nail polish from the Swiss collection fall/winter 2010.
