    WhatsWear Trend Alert: Simple Makeup

    Ida Hsiang on Nov 3, 2009 5:30 AM PST
    Today, it is all about going au natural. Gone are the days of heavily done eyes and foundation. Makeup is no longer meant to cover skin, but complement it. Less is more and subtle is the way to go for spring/summer 2010. Instead of dramatic eyes, opt for just mascara and a highlighter in the corners of your eyes for a light and refreshed look. Swap out your foundation for a light bronzer. Heavy makeup will never stand up to the heat. A notable example of trend could be seen on the Miu Miu runway at Paris Fashion week. Models were done up in natural makeup, leaving little to the imagination. They even skipped the bronzer!

    Brighten Up Your Fall Beauty Routine With Yellow Eyeshadow

    Bright primary colors and neon shades are perfect for waking up a winter wardrobe, and this trend is making its way into the beauty department as well. Pastel yellow is too weak to stand up to the bold clothing shapes that we're seeing right now-- these yellows are anything but mellow; they're bright, bright, bright. And while they may seem hard to wear, in actuality yellows and golds accent blue and green eyes and bring out the gold flecks in brown eyes. Sweep some over the entire lid for a look that's shiny and bright. Or, take a cue from the Marc Jacobs runways and pair with some smoky black liner for a high contrast look. You can even sweep it on the brow bone and out to the temple. Check out the slideshow for some products to get the look.

    If you're not exactly the most handy with an eyeliner brush, or even if you can't tell the difference between an eyeliner brush or an eyeshadow applicator, you may normally skip past beauty aisles and counters out of fear of the unknown... or the likelihood that you'll end up looking like something out of a horror movie if left to your own devices with a collection of shades. Luckily, Halloween is the one time of year where that look just might work in your favor! Costume makeup doesn't discriminate between the cosmetics-challenged and the beauty adept; even if you're not looking to go out as a drag queen, it can be fairly easy to complement your costume with the right Halloween-appropriate makeup. Dark nail polish is always an easy way to get festive, or take the opportunity to go full-out glam with gilded eye foil. Or if you're really that helpless when it comes to self-beautifying, these wild ColorOn eyeshadow appliques practically do all the work for you! Take a look at the slideshow for some perfect beauty picks to either look frightening or fetching on your night out!

    It might be a little early to start shopping for Christmas gifts (unless you're an overachiever... or just really smart and on top of things), but just in case you want to cross me off your list ahead of time, here's what you can get me! Think of the Sephora Blockbuster Palette as the ultimate fix for makeup addicts. Like a shiny new espresso machine for caffeine junkies, or Willy Wonka's chocolate river to an insatiable chocoholic, this thing is the mother lode of cosmetics combo sets. With more than 84 eyeshadows, 60 lip glosses, and a ridiculously impressive array of blushes, eyeliners, and all the necessary applicators, you'll be more than set to achieve the alleged 60,000 different looks possible. And the added bonus? Everything folds and packs neatly into its compact mirrored case. Cue the "hallelujah" chorus!


    Price: $48
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Sephora Blockbuster Palette to the Hive.
