Summer has slipped out of sight, and with it go the warmer cosmetic trends. In their place come rich jewel tones and some pretty outrageous brights.As shocking as many of the season's new shades look on the runway – and, let's be honest, in their pots, compacts and tubes – the wearability factor is actually quite high.
Many of the boldest shadows, for instance, actually go on quite sheer. And those that aren't can be tamed with judicious application.
Below are a few tips on how to turn this runway trend into your latest look:
- Instead of covering your entire lid with the brighter shade, do a smokier liner and then add a splash of color in the outer corner of your eye.
- Start with a sweep of vivid color, then dust it down to a more approachable shade with a shimmery nude shadow. Skip liner and finish with mascara.
- When it comes to vibrant blush – fuchsia, magenta or tomato red – it can tempered with a more neutral shade. On the cheekbone, where you would typically contour, use a bronzer to create a banana shape. On the apple, use the pop of color. If you exclusively use bold color, it'll turn dated. You have to give it something to melt into.
- Lip color is the one area where many women are less afraid to be daring. Fall's deep scarlets, wines and lacquer reds strike an ideal balance between retro and modern when skin is flawless and brows are refined. The best way to balance a deep, velvety lip is to have a really clean and groomed eyebrow with a defined arch. For a flawless look, take your time and use a lip brush. Color as bold as you dare to wear it.
