FALL/WINTER MAKEUP TRENDS

Look through these fabulous Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends to draw inspiration for your hot and fab fall/winter beauty look.

We’re again on the cusp of a new fashionable season, and that means that it is high time to start thinking over your Fall/Winter 2011-2012 beauty looks. Thus we’ve picked out all the most fashionable trends, straight from the runways, for you to draw inspiration for your own autumnal beauty transformation.

 

NUDE MAKEUP

Again nude makeup trend steps into the forthcoming fall/winter season. And no wonder actually, as nude is never out. Fast, easy, natural and fresh!

Perhaps the main difficulty here is to create radiant nude makeup.  What is most important is not to overdo it… remember it is still nude makeup.  Radiant nude makeup should accentuate your natural beauty.

All you need is a foundation tone that perfectly suits your complexion, a neutral eyeshadow shade, mascara to make your eyes pop, a bit of blush applied to the apples of your cheekbones for more vivid look, and nude lip-gloss or lipstick color to complete the look.

Draw inspiration from the best runway beauty looks created byBalmain, Versace, Valentino, Alexander Wang and others.

VAMPY LIPS

The Fall/Winter 2011-2012 season is all about contradiction. On the one hand there is nude makeup, while on the other are vampy lips of different shades. Everything from our fave orange and red lipstick shades to burgundy and dark purple ones. Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Fashion Shows were studded with vampy lip looks. Such fashion gurus as Diane von Furstenberg and Yves Saint Laurent opted for saturated lip color coupled with flawless complexion.

THICK EYEBROWS

A “natural” theme runs through all the Fall/Winter 2011-2012 beauty trends. We can kiss goodbye to thin over-plucked brows as now thick, natural, sometimes even boyish eyebrow looks are in.  Moreover Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends even define eyebrows with black pencil as we saw on the runways of Alexander Wang, Jean Paul Gaultier, andOscar de la Renta.

VARICOLORED SMOKED EYES

Smoky eye makeup is one of the hottest Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends, as usual. The only thing here that changes about smoky eyes is the eyeshadow shade. Classic versions of ‘smokies’ like we saw on the runways of Dolce & Gabbana and Chloe fashion shows are also in, alongside with some more unusual eyeshadow shades like the ones that models sported on the fashion shows of Narciso Rodriguez, Chanel or heavily smoked eyes of Vera Wang and Roberto Cavalli models.

EYELINER

Lines, lines and again lines… from thin winged eye lines to thick lines covering almost all the lid, fashion shows were stuffed with gorgeous beauty looks created just with an eyeliner. You can go for a classic version like the one that was spotted on the runways of Giorgio Armani or Gianfrance Ferre Fall/Winter 2011-2012 fashion shows. Or you can opt for a more dramatic version a la Dolce & Gabbana orLouis Vuitton models’ eye makeup.

ORANGE EYE MAKEUP

This fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trend was spotted on the fashion shows of Rodarte, Donna Karan, Prada and many others. From warm autumnal orange eyeshadow shades to acid orange mixed with a bright pink, designers made orange eye makeup the newest Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trend.
