Fall Beauty Essentials

Choose a few that you love and rock them as only a curvy girl knows how!

1. Brows – bold brows, neatly defined. A fuller brow gives the illusion of a more youthful face. Try: Clarins Pro-Palette Eyebrow Kit for customizable brows. I love that it includes a highlighter so that you can enhance your arch, as well as a setting wax.

2. Statement nails – between all the hot new colors out, and with adornments from lace to metal on nails this season, any direction that you move in is hot! Try: Lippmann Collection in All That Jazz

3. The Undone Retro 60′s Bump – inspired by Bridgette Bardot of course, this sexy, bedroom hair can be easily achieved with very little teasing with a funny little gadget called Bumpits!

4. Extreme side part was oftentimes deep and severly sharp. Wear it in a pony tail or loose and flowing.

5. Bold-pure hair color – For fall, skip the highlights and focus on multidimensional single process color, like beautiful rich chocolates, radiant reds, golden blondes.

6. Saturated lids – go for pure, bold & highly pigmented color on the lids! Makeup artists rave about Make Up For Ever eyeshadows because of the saturation of color. Find a shade that you love, from golds, grays, purples, greens, blues, black, browns and concentrate it on the lid to make this look wearble. In essence you are creating a smokey eye that does not have to be black. Pair it with black mascara and liner. I find a saturated gold to be very wearble. Try: Make Up For Ever Metal Powder in Sunflower Gold, Maize Gold, Honey Gold, Olive Gold

7. Red lips – the lip pencil has come back in vogue and this red lip is classic and well defined this season. Try: Mineral Essence Lip Definer Pencil in Paprika & M.A.C. Ruby Woo

8. Gothic lip – rich, dark berry-brown that screams vampire from across a candlelit room. Do your feel like a character in any of todays vampire series yet? Try: Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick in Homegirl

9. Color orange – on the runway it was seen on the eyes, the cheaks, the lips and even in hair. I think an orange lip is much more daring than a red or a fuschia one. It is a bit of a happy surprise one might say! Try: Clarins New Rouge Prodige True Hold Colour & Shine Lipstick in Clementine.

10. Fuschia Lips – go bold and defined or wear it as a sultry stain. Try: Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstain in Bitten Berry

11. Grungey Smokey Eye – This eye is not particularly neat. Very rock’n'roll. You can easily achieve it by dipping your ring finger in M.A.C Fluid Line in Blactrack, patting it onto the lid and then using a brush to blend it out.
