With Winter right around the corner, we’re ready to heat things up with warm, sexy makeup looks straight from the Fall 2011 runways! Fashion Week beauty looks go on to shape a brand’s upcoming color trends and right now we’re loving the palettes from Alexander Wang, Gucci, Versace, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Lanvin.
See how the runways have influenced the colors we’re currently seeing on beauty counters and can’t wait to try out at home!
What: The deep, burgundy red lips on Gucci’s Fall 2011 runways.
Get the Look: Always make sure to choose a hue that’s right for your skin tone. Fill in your lips with a red pencil, then go over it with a deep burgundy, focusing especially on the center of your bottom lip.
Get the Goods: We like Revlon’s red lipstick collection from their Super Lustrious line and CoverGirl’s lip pencil in one shade lighter than the lipstick.
What: The thick brows as seen at Alexander Wang F/W 2011.
Get the Look: First put the tweezers down! Over-plucked brows are a thing of the past. Use a tinted brow gel to tame your brows and fill in where they are scarce.
Get the Goods: We love Anastasia’s “Brow Gel” ($21) and “Brow Kit” ($39.50).
What: The cat-eye liner from Lanvin’s runway.
Get the Look: Starting at the center of the lash line, smudge a black eyeliner out toward your temples, past the eyelashes.
Get the Goods: CoverGirl’s Smokey Shadowblast stick in “Onyx Smoke” - the actual product used at Lanvin! ($7.49), YSL’s “Long Lasting Pencil” ($28), and Benefit Cosmetics “Magic Ink Liquid Liner” ($20).
What: The olive hued NARS palette at the 3.1 Phillip Lim show.
Get the Look: Apply multiple shades of green to the eyelid up to the top of the brow line. Makeup artist Lisa Butler used multiple shades of green to get the look, but we think you could get the same effect with layers of one shadow.
Get the Goods: NARS eyeshadow in “Fuji” ($23) and NARS “Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base” ($24)
What: The flushed pink cheeks at Versace.
Get the Look: Cover the apples of your cheeks with a soft pink blush, sweeping all the way up to your temples. For a dimensional look, add a slightly darker hue along the line of your cheekbones.
Get the Goods: NARS cream blush in “Constantinople” ($27) or Revlon “Cream Blush” ($7).
