MAC is backstage at the Jason Wu resort show (more on the clothing later, of course) and a photo has emerged, via Twitter, of the makeup look. Jason Wu is having quite a year and after a stellar Fall 2009 collection we can't wait to see what he cooks up for Resort and Spring 2010. The makeup look, a tomato red lip and clean, dewy skin certainly adds to the anticipation. Stay tuned for more...

With the economy in the toilet, many women are in saerch of an inexpensive way to be on-trend this season. Look no further than your local makeup counter! If you can't afford the it-bag of the season, adding a dash of the color coral to your makeup is an easy way to stay current. Here are Raging Rouge's coral picks for the season...
We're not beauty buffs so when we do indulge in makeup it tends to be the same shades that we fancied in middle school: sweet pinks, cherry reds, and for the eyes, only kohl. When we saw MAC's summer collection, called "A Rose Romance", we were more than excited. Save for a pigment pot with blue dust, called "Mutiny", the collection is entirely made up of those sweet, feminine colors. Check out the entire collection, which hits shelves on April 23rd, in the gallery below. For more MAC beauty, click here.
Curious how you you can appropriate that perfect shade of red lipstick from the Ruffian show or that vibrant cobalt shadow from Nicole Miller?

Keeping up with the trends, especially when it comes to beauty, can have a frustrating keeping up with the Jones vibe. If you think fashion has a fast product turn around then beauty will make your mind reel. One of our favorites, MAC, releases impressive conceptual collections at a pace that rarely allows us a breath. We just finished getting used to Neo Sci Fi and now we are on to Cult of Cherry. Ccoming up with a complete set of perfect fall trends can feel, no pun intended, fruitless. Thankfully, we had makeup artist Junko Kioka to keep us on the straight and narrow during our Five Fall Trends photo editorial. This fall clean matte skin, matte lips, daring to be bare, and if you are very bold, extreme lips and eyes makes a nice top five list. Isn't it nice when the professionals are there to keep you focused?
To achieve the matte skin look, Junko used Make Up Forever for foundation and cover up but unless you plan to actually be in a photo shoot we suggest Clinique Stay True Oil Free Formula. We are also suckers for Clinique Moisture Sheer Tint if you prefer less coverage, just be sure to use some pressed powder to achieve a matte finish. The red lips on the shoot came courtesy of NARS Semi Matte Lipstick in Red Lizard. In order to get a super matte look with your lips take a tissue to a fresh coat and blot your lips. Then use loose powder over the tissue to seal it. And if you crave the sultry footballer look Junko used Smashbox Jet Set Water Proof eyeliner. She also used this color pot to do our black lips as well. Though we would suggest if you want to go crazy with this trend to just find a nice cheap Wet and Wild alternative.
This is one beauty concept we can actually buy into. The new Bobbi Brown Quick Face Collection features six products that make for a complete makeup look. Bobbi Brown, admitedely, is one of our favorite makeup lines. The color palates, though they aren't as vibrant as, say, Heatherette for MAC, always seem to draw upon that 12-year-old, 'I just ran around in the woods for hours', glow that most women have trouble calling up when our diets, stress-levels, and exposure to UV Rays gives our skin a dull look. In a perfect world, we'd all be drinking gallons of water a day, and have the kind of makeup that enhances our wild, natural beauty. We think the six-product, Bobbi Brown fix, might be just the thing. The collection features everything you might imagine, a lip crayon, a classic black mascara, a long-lasting eye shadow, cream-based rouge, with colors in that typical Bobbi Brown range of nudes, berries, and browns. With Summertime approaching, and the birthday's flying by, we like the idea of sticking to a six-step makeup routine that reminds us of the days when running around in the woods was all that mattered in life.
