Makeup Trends for Winter/Spring 2011

For Winter/Spring 2011 Makeup Trends you have a diversity of looks to choose from!  Some looks are basic natural and some are breaking the taboos of the last few years.  They are fun, daring, wearable and fashionable.

• Matte Face
• Natural Makeup/Nude Face
• Bold Lips: Hot Pink, Violet, Orange and Sheer Red
• Violet Eyeshadow: Sultry and Sexy, purple metallic will stand out.
• Bright Eyeshadow: Blue, Green, Pink or Orange
• Red Eyeshadow.  This is a trickier look to pull off, but it’s worth a shot if you are feeling daring.  My recommendations:  Ben Nye Cherry Red Lumiere Luxe(a true red with a bit of shimmer),  MAC Cranberry eyeshadow (not so bright), Coastal Scents Prism Palette (the red in it.)
• Bold Lips and Eyes!  In the recent past the trend is to either play up your eyes or lips, now play them both up!  Coordinate your lip color and eyeshadow boldly.
• Smokey Eyeshadow- Always a hit, vary it up with black, gray or dark blue eyeshadows.  Add a metallic eyeshadow for the ultimate 2011 smokey look.   Blend well.
• Natural Eyebrows.  No overplucked or heavily drawn on brows this year.  Stick with a brow powder and an angled brush.
• Light, Natural or No Blush
• A pop of color or a pastel eyeshadow on the inner corner of your eyes.
• Transition to spring with lovely Easter Egg Pastel color eyeshadows.

Fall Trend Makeup 2010 Part 1 Smokey Grunge Eyeshadow

Fall Trend 2010 Smokey Eyeshadow

Originally uploaded by dreamglow pumpkincat210

I’ve decided to post a series of makeup looks that are going to be hot the fall of 2010. This is the first installment!
For this smokey ish eye shadow, I tried out the fall 2010 trend of some throwback early 90′s smoky grunge eyeshadow. The main difference of this smokey eye from regular smokey eyes, is the brown eyeshadow is used as the main smoke, making it look a little more natural and an updated application technique which gives it some glamour.

Smokey Teal Makeup

Today I actually put on some makeup instead of bumming it.  I tried to do a smokey eye with teal shadow to give it more of a summer time feel to it.  It took me awhile to get the color blended right, as I haven’t worked too much with Carbon lately and it can be tricky, but i love it.

Carbon Black M.A.C. Eyeshadow Smokey Eyes

I did this eye quite a long time ago but it keeps coming back as one of my favorites. Not only do I wear this combination, but it literally looks awesome on every eyecolor and mostly ever skin color if applied with the right pressure.  Smokey eyeshadow doesn’t have to be black or brown…
