I had a lot of fun creating this look. It's simple and a little glamorous at the same time. To take it up a notch for a night out I would add some false lashes!

What do you think?

Fall 2011 Beauty Trends

Fall is just about here! Fall is my absolute favorite season. I just love the crisp, cool air, the rich colors, and of course some hot apple cider!

A new season is the perfect time to spice up your usual make up look.
I am loving the trends this season. While some do look kind of crazy on the runway, I think they can be easily adapted to make them more wearable. Here are my favorites....

Wine stained lips

I love this. I feel like it's a more wearable version of a red lip. Here's how to wear it: 1. Apply lip balm and blot any excess
            2. Apply lipstick. I like to dab it on from the tube and then use my finger to blend it in.
            3. If desired apply a clear gloss.
