Series: Fall 2011 Beauty Trend! (Part ♥♥)

The second part of the Fall Trend series focuses on bolder, more dramatic trends that are going to be extremely popular in the next few months.



Bold Trends For Fall



Trend# 1 Teased Hair






This is a look that a lot of celebrities have been sporting lately, from red carpet events to late night talk shows (like Katie Holmes). This has also been a staple on the run way. You can go for a simple version of this trend by teasing your hair in the front to make a poof.  Start from the top and the work your way to the side. When you finish teasing your hair, spray the poof with your favourite hair spray. Tie your hair in to a ponytail. Pull out a few strands from the sides, to give it a more messy look.


Trend# 2 Metallic Eye Shadow




Metallic eye shadow is very big this year. A simple way to achieve this  look is by picking any bold colour like a metallic blue, gold or brown and apply it all over your lids till your crease.  You can also apply the same eye shadow to the inner corners of you eye, to give it a very glammed up look.


Trend# 3 Graphic Liner



The heavy graphic liner made a bold statement on the runway recently and is a more modern take on the classic winged liner. Dramatic liner is shaping up to be a huge beauty trend for the fall.


Trend# 4 Red Lips




This is one of the trends that is definitely out of my comfort zone.One of the biggest lip trends this year is red lips. Shades from hot pink to red to deep wine/mulberry lip are hot for fall.


Trend# 5 Gold Liner 



If intense metallic eyes aren't your thing, you can achieve a subtler (but equally striking) version of the look with gold-rimmed eyes. Brush a gold shadow over the lids, then apply liquid gold liner to the upper and lower lash lines.


Trend# 6 Flushed Cheeks




Just dab your favourite cream blush on the apple of your cheeks and you're good to go. 


Trend# 7 Nails




For all those who think neutral nails are a little boring, you can always opt for one of these nail trends. Metallic nail colour is super trendy for fall. Beige, browns, greys, muted deep red nails are also big for fall/winter.  


Are you going to try any of these trends?

Series: Fall 2011 Beauty Trends!



So since fall is on it's way, I thought I'd do a series of posts on the hottest fall beauty/jewellery trends this year. There are two looks that have been dominating beauty trends for fall. One is more natural and wearable, the other one is bold and dramatic. Obviously you can mix all these different trends together and create your own look. 


The Natural Look


Trend# 1 Braids




Braids are very popular this fall. You can go for any braid that you want, but the most popular one is a messy side braid. You don't want this braid to be perfect; the messier the better. I love Lauren Conrad's braid <3!


Trend# 2 Bold Brows



Bold brows are making a very big statement this year, and lots of celebrities are embracing this look. If you're too scared to grow out your brows, take an easy way out by filling them with a brow pencil. You can also take an eye brow brush and brush them upwards, which is also very popular fall.


Trend# 3 Spider Lashes



This look is very easy to achieve. Just take your favourite mascara and apply it as you normally would, from the root to the tip. To create the spider effect, start going behind your lashes and curl upwards.This is instantly going to give you very spidery looking lashes. The other day the lady at the Maybelline counter tried this look on me, and I must say it looked pretty good!


Trend# 4 Pastel Lips




I love that pastel lips are very popular for fall. I wear pastel shades all year long, this is something that's in my comfort zone.


Trend# 5 Neutral Nails




Neutral nails were big at Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2011 RTW. I'm pretty sure this trend was inspired by Kate Middleton. Not only did she have neutral coloured nails on her wedding day, she had a similar manicure at other Royal events and on the Canadian tour as well.


Trend# 6 Glowy Cheekbones



Patting a highlighter on the top of your cheekbones is the next best thing to bathing them in candlelight. Just be sure to look for a formula that's warm and peachy, not overtly frosty. I heart!!


My favourite fall trends are the braids and pastel lips. <3

Which fall trend is your favourite? Is there one on your list that you can't wait to try out? Is there a trend that you're going to pass?
