fall beauty trend: morning-after eyes and nude-orange lips.

Edited by The Fashion Web

Link Love:fall beauty trend: morning-after eyes and nude-orange lips.

It’s common knowledge that the smudged, just-rolled-out-of-bed eyeliner look is one of the easiest (and the sexiest!) makeup tricks in the book! This look, along with a nude-to-orange lip color, were all the rage at A/W 2010 fashion week! Yes, we may not all have professional makeup artists on hand, as Constance and Daria (above) did backstage at Michael Kors. However, with the right products and a steady hand, you can get the look at home! Here’s a step-by-step guide that I use to achieve the look for less!

01) Be sure to apply makeup to a cleansed and moisturized face. If your face is unwashed, your skin’s natural oils will seep through the makeup quickly, causing it to come off!

02) Apply a face and eye primer to even skin tone, eliminate sheen and prolong the wear of the makeup.

03) Apply a sheer foundation, such as a light liquid foundation or a tinted moisturizer, all over face and neck. Apply a cream-based concealer to any blemishes.

04) Buff a pressed powder all over face to seal foundation and concealer with a large, fluffy brush.

05) Apply a highlighter or slightly shimmery powder to your t-zone (forehead and nose). If your skin is on the oily side, skip this step or apply to your cheeks only.

06) Apply a peach blush to the apples of your cheeks. If you have a pale skin tone with a lot of red undertones (like me!), choose a blush with a more neutral tone to avoid looking too dramatic. If you have darker skin, choose a peach blush with a bit more pigment in it!

07) Line your upper lash line and the outer corner (or the whole lower lash line if you wish) with a black or brown eyeliner pencil. Gently smudge the line with your finger or a Q-tip.

08) Apply a light colored eyeshadow to your eyelids. I’d recommend a pearly white, shimmery beige, icy blue or pale lilac.

09) Apply a coat or two of black mascara.

10) Apply a lipstick or lip gloss in a neutral shade (with orange undertones), or go bold with a tangerine shade. if you choose lipstick, be sure to put foundation on your lips and then lip liner to prolong the wear of the lipstick!

My interpretation of the look: MAC tinted moisturizer, Benefit ‘Boing’ concealer, Smashbox face primer, Benefit eye primer, Benefit pressed powder, Benefit highlighter, Sephora blush, Sephora eyeshadow, Sephora lip gloss, CoverGirl eyeliner, L’Oreal mascara.
