2014 Fall MakeupTrends

As we move out of the Summer heat and into the cool, breezy fall season everything that we are used to seeing as we step out the door is about to change.  The leaves will start to change to bright, warm, golden colors before falling to the ground and leaving everything bare.  And just for a moment before winter sets in everything will be a warm, rich, golden hue.

So in researching many of the upcoming Fall trends for 2014 I wasn’t surprised to see many of the same things that come to mind when I think of this transitional season. Metallic touches and bright vibrant colors are trending big for Fall.  So if you are feeling like trying something new with your makeup don’t be afraid to push the limits and go a bit outside of your comfort zone. 

If your are a little more timid start with a gold scarf or some silver nail polish and work up to applying some fun glittery eye makeup.  Or maybe start with a peachy lip and work your way up to a bolder color.  Whatever you do, make sure that you choose colors that compliment your eye color and skin tone.  Reference a color wheel if needed, to see which color is complimentary, or opposite your eye color on the wheel. 

 

Towards the end of Fall the trees become more bare and their branches become more defined.  This may possibly be the inspiration for some other Fall trends that we will see more of.  There is room for both glowing, fresh, bare skin and defined eyes within the autumn months.  To get a flawless, glowing complexion start with some fresh clean skin and a moisturizer with an SPF.  This will moisturize your skin while protecting it from the harmful rays of the sun.  Even though it may not be warm and sunny in the Fall like it is in the Summer, the sun’s rays are still strong enough to harm your skin for years to come.   So remember to protect your skin during all seasons.  Using a moisturizer with a built in SPF will take the worry out of forgetting to apply a sunscreen on a day-to-day basis.

 If you do have imperfections on your skin and feel the need to apply a foundation as well, Glo-Minerals is a great choice because the minerals and anti-oxidants used to create the makeup are not only good at covering up any imperfections you may have, but will also protect your skin and help correct your imperfections.  Glo-Minerals also has built-in UV protection as well so you can feel good about using it every day.

If you are like me then you always have to add something more to that bare skin before taking on your day, even if it is just a bit of mascara.  Of course if I had long luscious lashes then I wouldn’t have to do that either, and I am all about simplifying my morning routine as much as possible.  So an alternative would be to get XTreme lash extensions put onto your natural lashes.  XTreme Lash Extensions help your lashes look thicker and longer without looking fake. For more information on XTreme Lash Extensions visit http://www.ruthieseyes.com/xtreme-lashes.html or call Ruthie's Eyes Studio (610-724-3808).  Long luscious lashes is coincidentally just one more Fall Trend for 2014.

 

When you hear defined eyes the first words that may come to mind are dark or smoky, but defined just means clean or outlined.  You can use really any color that you feel compliments your eyes to outline your top and bottom lids.  A dark, liquid liner can be used for a more dramatic look, 

while a light powder applied with small smudge or liner brush can be used for softer definition.

So with fall here, start to look outside and use what is around you to help  inspire a change in your day-to-day look.  Whatever you decide to try don’t be afraid to get a little risqué, as it can all simply be wiped away!   And most importantly have fun!!
