Top 5 makeup tips for 2011


Fall is Lucky’s favourite season. Everyone puts a little more effort into their look when the leaves turn colour! Here are her 5 favorite makeup trends for Fall 2011:

The Two-Toned Smoky Eye

Seen here at Diane Von Furstenberg, a twist on the classic dark smoky eye has a refreshing dash of silver and glitter on the inner eyes. Pair it with a nude lip.
Try: Tval’s ‘Black Ice’ eyeshadow with MAC ‘3-D Silver’ glitter or Lise Watier ‘Opale’ Glitter.2

Light and Shade

Seen here at Thakoon, Fall’s take on the natural makeup trend, pumped up with some contour and highlight.
Try: Cover FX ‘Natural FX’ foundation, then MAC blush in ‘Blunt’ or ‘Buff’ to contour & ‘Trace Gold’ or ‘Honour’ to highlight, or Cover FX ‘The Big Cover Up Kit’

Plum Dandy

Fashionista’s love affair with plum is going strong. Whether in a smoky eye or taking centre stage with a bold lip (as seen here at Proenza Schouler), this is not a look for the timid. Afraid of a dark lip? Use your lipstick with a brush to create more of a sheer stain.
Try: MAC lipstick in ‘Media’ or ‘Cyber’, Chanel lipstick in ‘Rouge Noir’.

The Red Lip

Paired here with plum smoky eyes for a more dramatic effect, the red lip makes any outfit feel a little more dressed up.
Try: MAC ‘Viva Glam’ lipstick, Kat Von D ‘Hellbent’ lipstick

undefinedBond Girl Eyeliner

Ah, yes. My favorite eyeliner is back with a 60’s vibe… maybe a touch of Amy Winehouse? Whatever the case, pairing a heavy cat-eye liner with a nude lip will make you feel like a femme fatale.
Try: Cargo Liquid Liner or MAC ‘Blacktrack’ Fluidline
