Hey there sparkle people!
I know i haven't posted for too long but do follow me on Instagram (@sparklepassion25) for some featured looks and mini tutorials!
Come fall and its smokey eyes and dark lips all over! Don't fall back on the trend - go ahead and check out some of the more wearable trends that I cannot wait to try out!
Metallics
–
Everyone seems
to be going metallic this season – Not only eyes, but Lips too! So stock up on
some good pigments and get started on this super-hot trend! I love the trend of
putting a pop of metallic in the inner corner of the eyes. Another great way to
honour this trend is to line the top lashes in black and the bottom in a beautiful
metallic colour. The easiest of course is to cover your eyelid with a beautiful
metallic colour for a party – Use pigments for the best effect.
Lash
out –
Cute doll like
lashes are the statement of the season – Prada, Gucci, and St. Laurent agree! This is a perfectly wearable look ‘coz who doesn’t
love full pretty lashes?! Stock up on some great falsies and a perfect mascara
for every day.
Dealing
with the blues –
This is my
personal fav - Fall 2014 beauty is all about the blues – look around and you
will find gorgeous turquoises, sapphires, and cobalts – whether it’s a shimmer
across the lid or a pop of colour on the waterline!
Trend
highlight –
Iridescent
colours and super highlighted faces were all over the runway for the biggest names
in fashion.
Smokey
eyes –
This trend has
been here for a while and is definitely here to stay! As always, Autumn 2014
brings about a whole lot of Smokey eyes with emphasis on the smudged liner on
the lower lash line. Be sure to line your waterline to make your eyes pop!
Bright
eyes –
If you thought
bright eyes were only for summer – Think again! Those coloured eyes pencils are
surely your new BFFs this autumn! If you think you can’t carry off too much
colour on the lid, just try this – Mattify your face, put on a neutral shadow,
and line your waterline with a pop of colour!
Flawless
–
This is one
trend that will have your skin thanking you – Barely there makeup is a hot
trend on runways of Balmain, Stella McCartney and the likes. Invest in a rich
night cream to rehydrate your skin and don’t slack off on your skincare
routines – this will help you lay off the foundation and concealor for that flawless
look. You could use a light blusher for that youthful glow. Check out the post on basic essentials of skincare here.
A great
product for breakout prone skin is the “Dermalogica” breakout range – truly
amazing for transforming your skin!
Lip
trends
Lips are
trending on Nudes and peached for a very subtle no – makeup makeup look, or
Berry lips/Red lips for that daring statement look. Mac has some gorgeous shades for
this trend!
Exaggerated
cat – eye –
One thing I saw
a lot of was the exaggerated cat eye! Beautiful extended winged liners, and
double winged liners were the trends I found. This trend might be a tad outside
my comfort zone but it definitely is worth a try!
60’s
makeup –
We have all
seen and loved the Kylie Jenner 60’s matte lipstick look – Time to recreate it
with the 60s makeup trend going big this season. The eyes aren’t too much to
concentrate on with just bold liner above and below the lash line.
Hope you enjoyed this post - Do leave your comments for me below and let me know what you think! I promise to post some tutorials on fall looks that might help you guys out.
