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.
'When in Rome' was our motto last week when we were in San Francisco for meetings. Coutorture then, on our last day in the city, dropped some cash at the Sephora flagship. The single greatest find? Heatwave. One of us picked up the last one at Sephora which prompted the team to go in search of a second, so we walked all the way over to Nordstorm and there scored their last tube. Looks like this lipstick is a must-have for many, and we completely understand why. Dare we say it, it's the perfect orange lipstick. Apply the lipstick without gloss and with a bare, nude face (one of us tried on orange eyeshadow at the same time and were told we looked a little too neo sci fi) and you're good to go. We already wrote about orange nail polish, and now that we've hit our stride with this must-have summer beauty color, we're fully endorsing the lips. We declare Nars Heatwave the color of the summer.
