MUA MAURIA SMITH ' S TOP FIVE TIPS ON ACHIEVING
Fall Makeup Trends

1 . Healthy , natural looking skin is the quintessential fall look ! When choosing foundations , concealers and powders look for products that have more of a satin-like finish which is closest to our skin ' s natural texture . This will help in avoiding that dreaded " cakey ", heavy , and overly matte appearance that isn ' t as appealing . The key is to still appear natural even if you ' re wearing a lot of products on the skin . Less is always more , even when you ' re not wearing less ! 2 . Choosing colors for eyes , lips or cheeks can be quite challenging and troublesome for many when looking to switch it up for fall , but it doesn ' t have to be . Simply look to the beautiful and ornate changes in nature for inspiration while in search for your new fall look . All of those gorgeous , rich , warm hues of copper , orange , deep rust , red and burgundy that we see as the season changes are a perfect choice for any skin tone .
3 . As summer changes into fall , you ' ll begin to notice not only the changes in nature ' s colors , but also textures . The same should be said about the makeup looks that we wear . Instead of grabbing your favorite , summertime , go-to gloss , apply a nice lip conditioner or lip primer , and use a lip color that has a matte or satin finish . These types of textures on the lips give a more defined , sharp edge to your overall look . However , if you ' re one of those that just has to have a glossy lip , go back to my number two tip and choose a deep , warm shade to stay in the trend . Keep in mind , that the actual rich , warm color choice is what will keep you in trend more so than the actual texture of the lip color you ' ve chosen . 4 . It has been said that the eyes are the window to the soul so adorn them beautifully by trying a few simple tricks . Apply liner to the bottom lash line , with an angled or small eyeshadow brush . A dark brown or black eyeshadow , in lieu of an actual black pencil or cream liner , will yield a softer look . Without the presence of the bold , harsh black liner in the water line and the slightly deeper hues of brown or black on the lash line , the eye
will have a more open and brighter appearance . This is also great to try for smaller eyes to make them appear larger . To really make the eyes pop and look wider , apply a skin tone or a white eyeliner in the waterline and then use the dark brown or black shadow on the bottom lash line . This works well whether you ' re going with a dramatic or natural look for the eyes .
5 . Not really in the market right now for a whole new makeup haul just to keep up with the new fall trends ? Look no further than your current makeup stash . Apply a natural tan or taupe eyeshadow to the eyelid with a hint of deep brown or plum in the crease with a touch of mascara , eyeliner and even false lashes if you ' d like . Using your deep , rich brown , red , wine or burgundy lipliners that you already possess applied over the entire lip as your lipstick color is an inexpensive way to stay in the trend . Apply a lip primer prior to applying the liner of your choice to help it glide on smoother and last even longer . Dust on a beautiful bronzy blush
