Autumn Makeup

As we move from Summer into Fall what are the colors to wear in makeup? Experts suggest you take your cue from the earth or the sky:

Earth - the rich, warm colors of the earth in tones of amber, khaki, cocoa, burgundy and irridescent green hues. Shimmery gunmetal grays, intense violets, and metallic greens. Eyes are soft and warm and lips are bold in shades of Bordeaux and currant. Cheeks are blushed with shades of rose and copper.

Sky - sheer pinks and purples in shades of sunset. Eyes are smokey and bold while lips are sweet and glistening in pink.

MAKEUP TOOLS

You can simplify and speed your makeup routine and improve the end results with the use of the right brushes. Are these brushes in your makeup bag?

• Foundation - use for liquid or cream foundation. Usually synthetic bristles.
• Concealer - use to dot concealer on blemishes and dark circles. Can be natural or synthetic bristles.
• Blush and powder - these are usually very large dome-shaped brushes. Sable is the best bristle for this brush.
• Eye shadow - use with cream or powder. Best bristle is sable.
• Eyeliner - use with cream, liquid or powder. Use sable bristles for powder and synthetic for liquid.
• Lip - use to outline lips for a fuller pout or to apply a spot of gloss. Best is synthetic bristles as they are stiffer and allow for more control.
