Fall 2012 - Makeup and Hair Trends from the Runway

Oh, how much I LOVE fall and the trends..

Break out the greens/teals/blues as they are totally ruling the runway. And of course with fall comes the brown smokey eye and some of the looks on the runway were more astray from the normal smokey eye with the brown coming above the crease and onto the brow bone. And the other big trend - multi-purpose use of the lipstick. (I've been doing this a little but with the ELF all over color stick and using it on my eyes, cheeks and lips).

"Precise Ponys" - Yay, I have super long hair and its always in a pony
"Low Volume Hair" - I never really liked a lot of volume anyways
"With a Twist" - Totally excited for this one
"Bouffants" - I don't really like this, I think my hair is too long anyways to pull it off and I don't see myself wearing it out in public at all...
"Exceptional Extras" - I need to go out and buy myself some hair accessories, or things to make up

It seems like this is the perfect season for my hair and how I usually wear it.



And then I pulled some of my favorites from a few articles:
It's probably mostly makeup because I don't know how much you can say about pony tails and sleek hair.

"The fall season is all about the statement eye—specifically in blue or green tones. Makeup artist Aaron de Mey created a hazy sapphire eye by smoking navy liner along the upper and lower lashes and blending it up above the crease."

"A flick of cobalt blue liner wakes up the eyes faster than any eye cream or cucumbers. Makeup artist Pat McGrath traced on a thick line, extending it slightly up and past the outer corners. The tiny blue dots under the pupils were an extra eye-opening touch, but we'd dab on silver or brown to make the look wearable off the runway."

"Lipstick can really pull double-duty this season, as it’s been used to define the lips, lids, and now cheeks. Makeup artist Dick Page blended a concentrated cherry red lipstick mixed with a drop of foundation on the apples, swirling it around with a makeup sponge to channel an après-ski-and-sex kind of look."

Totally love the idea of adding a drop of foundation to lipstick to use it on the cheeks. 


Karen Walker

Deep-sea blue nails are looking strong for fall as a rich contrast to nudes and paler shades. Manicurist Wanda Ruiz painted on a couple coats of blackened blue finished with a shiny top coat (welcome back gloss!).

I'm hoping Julep comes out with a dark navy for the fall, or else I'm going to have to find one because it's a color I love, but definitely do not have yet. 


Donna Karan

How to make red unexpected? Try it on your eyelids and nail tips, instead of just lips. Charlotte Tilbury blended a port wine pigment over eyes from the base of lashes to just above the crease while manicurist Deborah Lippmann painted burgundy edges on nude nails.

Timid this look is not! Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury was inspired by the array of colors seen in bird feathers when creating this peacock effect. She blended teal shadow all over the lids and through the brows, then detailed the lower lashes with cooper brown for rich dimension. She finished by tracing an electric blue kohl pencil in the inner corners and smudging it under the brow bones.

Jason Wu

Greenish-blue shades are appearing all over the runway. Makeup artist Diane Kendal designed this dark emerald smoky eye by blending marine blues and painterly greens shadows over the lid and beyond the corners, then worked a cool teal eyeliner into the crease.
