from harper’s bazaar: fall 2012 makeup trends

Futuristic Eyes

dramatically dark carbon black liners applied in thick strokes and saturated eye shadows swooped beyond the outer corners to accentuate your gaze.

Defined Brows

Play up your shape by feathering on pencils and shadows to accentuate the arch

Mesmerizing Multi-Toned Eyes

Statement-making eyes were the talk of the fall shows, especially the kind that imitated the brilliant blue-brown plumes of peacocks at Prabal Gurung, the cool painterly greens of landscapes at Jason Wu, and the cobalt sea at Anna Sui. For a chic and wearable version, look for shadows with hints of silver or gold mixed into the color to soften the effect and complement your skin tone.

Fresh & Natural Faces

pops of lipstick on the cheeks, nude tones, dewy faces 

Smoky Browns

Try rimming your eyes with anything from khaki to mocha, then blurring it out for a rich look.

Mulberry Mouths

deep mulled-wine stain with rich chocolate undertones

I’ve never liked to follow trends completely. What I love to do is be aware of what they are and weave bits and pieces of them into my own style. It’s no fun to copy what everyone else is doing.
