GOLD DIGGA

A lot of people have me asking me to do a post about eye makeup that suits specific hair, eye and skin colours, so in that line of thinking, I decided to give you guys a few examples of a colour that look good on everyone (yes, that means YOU too!!).

The shade I'm taking about is (you guessed it), GOLD!. These are always my go to shades when I'm in a bind. They truly do suit every skin, hair and eye colour! so let's get down to some looks, shall we?

HAUT FOR FALL

Summer is almost over, and the dawn of my favourite season is upon us. Enter, Autumn trends for 2011. This fall's looks are daring and edgy, but very feminine, (think of women in power with a great fashion sense). So, let's review what I think, will be some of the hautest trends this year.



Say goodbye to the over plucked skinny brow. One of the prominent features on the models of the Oscar De La Renta runways this year, was the natural, thick, and sometimes even boyish brow. If you've over tweezed in the past, fear not! Grab a shadow that matches your brow colour and an angled brush to fill in blanks, then dust with a loose powder. Finish off by running a spooly through the brows in the direction they grow, and VIOLA, a full natural looking brow! Skip the wax and opt for a tiny tweeze, to look groomed, but genuine.

 

Smoked eyes in metallic colours were all over the runways this year, and with Channel's launch if Illusion D'ombre, it's no wonder this look is quickly hitting the streets. Channel's version a little to pricy for your pocket book?  Try L'oreal's Colour Innfalliable for a fraction of the price.

Classic winged liner is always a great fit for fall. pair with a natural lip, or flashy red for elegant old hollywood galmour. My favourite liner for the classic sex kitten look? MAC fluidline in BlackTrack

.












Fall is always about colours that reflect the season, so why not try something dark and sexy on your nails? Say bye bye baby blue and hello burgandy with these great hue from Essie and O.P.I.

Man in every port-ugal

Looking for something flashier? Channel's new polishes are flying of the shelf (my fave being Graphite, in my opinion, the perfect shimmery silver)

available at Channel stores, Holt Renfrew and Nordstrom's

Natural, but polished. A classic look with  neutral eyes, berry stained lips, and a luminous complexion. A definite go to for a quick Autumn look. Try Uraban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Pallette, paired with MAC's mineralized Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle for a shimmery look. For something more earthy, go with Clinique lip stain in Black Honey, paired with a neautral eye and black mascara, like benefit, They're Real
