Fall 2011 Top Beauty Trends
Author: Steve Pearson
With fall fast approaching, it's that time of year when we need to give our make-up bags an update. Our easy breezy summer time make-up took on more of an on-the-go status as the months went on. It's time to polish it up a bit.
This fall is moody and edgy with a twist of natural beauty stuck right in the middle. Full natural brows frame metallic eye shadows while long lean lashes bring on the glam. Red lips and deep blue nails lend to the edginess of fall's look.
Eyes
Brows take on a more natural look this season from the past year or so. We've had thinner more defined and sculpted brows in recent past. This is good news for those ladies with naturally thick brows. No need to endure the pain of waxing and tweezing this season. For those with naturally thin brows, it may be time to invest in a good brow powder or liner to fill them in.
Eye shadow statements are vastly different this season. From very edgy metallic, smoky eyes to very light and natural with minimal eye shadow. However, long luscious lashes are very much a must with either look. We have seen thick lashes in past seasons, but this seasons lashes are long and lean, almost spiky. False is in for sure!
Skin & Hair
Smooth glowing skin is always in no matter what the season or time of year. This fall, hold on to your summer tan that you worked hard all summer to get. Fading a little faster than you would like? Spray tans have come a long way. Not just for the Jersey Shore types anymore, spray tans are all the rage. With different levels of shades you will not have to worry about looking orange anymore.
Hair takes on 3 big trends this fall. Braids worn to the side, feathers and big loose curls will be seen. Braids were very popular this summer and have made it in to another season. They can be worn in a variety of ways – long down your back or bangs braided to the side. One of the most popular is the loosely braided hair swept to the side with an, ‘oh I didn't even try to do that' flair.

Nails
Blue nails are a big trend showing up on many celebrities from Christina Aguilera to Victoria Beckham. Blue polish runs from very pale to very dark and metallic or sparkly in between. This fashion statement may not be for everyone though. Picking the right shade of blue for your skin tone is tricky.
Darker shades of blue are generally more flattering to more women. Choose a midnight blue and you probably can't go wrong. For fairer skin ladies, a milky light blue will in most cases not flatter so test a few first before buying. This trend is where medium to dark skinned women will be able to play with the blues a little more as most will be flattering.
Keep nails short, neat and well manicured as these color trends are sure to draw attention to your hands. No one will be impressed by your being on trend when they see chipped nail polish and rough looking cuticles. Don't forget your toes either! The weather may be changing, but you can still wear shoes to show off your blue or pale pink toes.
Lips
Red lips are all the rage and will most likely stay through winter. We haven't seen them since around 2009. The red vampy lips are back with a vengeance. Say goodbye to the neutral tones we've grown to love and say hello to red!
Before you run out and buy the first red lipstick you see, take note that this is a very bold statement. Choose wisely as this should not be taken lightly. Not all reds are created equal. Just as not all skin tones are created the same. More pale and dewy skin types cannot wear the same deep red that a more mahogany skinned woman can.
With red lips we need to remember that heavily lined lips are out. Unless, however, you are using a matching lip liner to the red you have chosen. Because red look best on voluptuous lips, a girl with less than a pouty mouth will need to line around the outer edge of her lip line. You will also want to fill in the bottom lip with liner before applying lipstick. These both will give the illusion of a fuller, more pin-up girl look.
To be on trend this fall choose the right blue for your nails and the right red for your lips. Hair is big and glammed up with loose curls or pulled over in a braid to the side. Big spiky lashes and metallic shadows or not. Channel your inner Boho chic with feathers or your Bridgette Bardot with scarlet red lips and big curls. From super glam pin-up girl to natural woman - this fall can be edgy or laid back.
