Fall 2008 and Winter 2009 Makeup and Beauty Trends
Glamour, femininity and the strong woman look will continue to be the top beauty trends for this fall and winter.
Purple is a top color for fall and makeup colors in purple and berry will be among the most popular.
The neutral face with emphasis on either the lips or the eyes continues to be in style with some trendy updates.
Lip colors are varied this season – red lipstick is back, along with rich berry lips, but neutral lips with pink, brown or peach colors are in also style and the best choice if you are emphasizing your eyes.
Speaking of eyes, the smoky eye look is still in fashion, maybe even stronger than ever. For the last few years the “toned down” smoky eye was in, this season all eye makeup is darker and bolder. Be prepared to see lots of black eyeliner. Eye shadows are moving away from the pastels and brighter colors back to earth tones and neutrals, but will be applied darker to create a stronger look. Even “cat eyes” are trendy right now (if you dare!). Don’t forget tons of black mascara or your favorite false eyelashes!
Gold and bronze colored cosmetics are one of the hottest newer trends, especially in eye shadows and nail polish. The other big nail color for the season is dark plum.
Heavier eyebrows are back in style, thin plucked eyebrows are out of style this fall.
Mineral makeup continues to be a top trend. The look for faces is natural and nude, mineral makeup is the choice of an every growing number of women for a natural look.
The top trendy hairstyles for fall are long – either straight or wavy, or super short. There is not much middle ground. The longer hair styles are also in style with a ponytail of loose bun.
Just pick you favorite trend for fall 2008 – red lips or dramatic eyes – and go for it! Just remember to keep everything else toned down so you do not look overly made up.
