The Best New Makeup for Winter - Fall 2008
Feast your eyes on three color trends that offer radiant alternatives to predictable fall mainstay like navy liner and burgundy lipstick. Then discover the unique velvety texture that make the latest shadows and lipsticks so sumptuous. Just like the rich nudes, brilliant greens, and regal purples , they're really stunning way to look-and-feel- exquisitely indulged.
RICH NUDE LIPS
Why you'll love the look: You can apply a new neutral lipsticks and glosses without a mirror, but their creamy textures and touch of shine make them look as polished as a meticulously applied crimson.
How you'll wear it: With a rosy blush and couple of coast of mascara. Select your neutral sahde wisely. Nudes tinged with bronze are gorgeous on dark skin, and peaches versions bring warmth to olive complexions. The fair-skinned must treat carefully: Test shades on your hand to make sure thay don't have a hint of frost; the best choices have pink undertones.
BRILLIANT GREEN EYES
Why you'll love the look: It's never been so easy, or gorgeous, to go green. These lush hue of moss and fern are infused with a hint of gold pearl, so they're far more elegant than earthy.
How you'll wear it: Judiciously. Just a hint of green can enhance any eye color. So less is definitely more. Apply the shadows only on the upper lashline and blendding the color outward with a Q-tip. If you want to tone down the brightness, layer the green on top of a soft brown. Fair skin can carry deep, concentrated green; medium skin is best with lghter; golden khahis; and dark complexions glow against sparkling emeralds.
How you'll wear it: Though you may associate velvet with holiday party dresses, this makeup works anytime, anywhere. Concentrate the color at the centre of your lids or your lips and then gently blend it out. For a soft, diffused effect (and the most fun), use your fingers and fully experience these cool, cushiony textures.
REGAL PURPLE EYES, LIPS AND NAILS
Why you'll love the look: Because it's bold, glamorous, and a little unexpected. This season's spectrum of grapes, violets, and mauves includes options for lips and eyes as well as nails.
How you'll wear it: One product at the time. These are rich color, so you don't want to binge on them. Alternate between tawny plum lips and a sheer violet eyeshadow. Or try a dark purple mascara one day and fig nail polish the next. Shades that veer toward raspberry are ideal for pale skin ( anything too lilac has blue tones that could make skin look bruised); warm maroons are most flattering on olive complexions; and deep, dramatic purples complement dark skin tones.
PLUSH , VELVETY EYES AND LIPS
Why you'll love the look: Intense pigments are married with supersilky textures in these shadows and lipsticks giving you a glowy (but not glossy) finish.. The formulas very easy to wear rich color: They are not matte, which can look chalky and harsh, but they're not too shimmery, either, so they won't accentuate fine line
