It never ceases to amaze us the amount of work and creativity that goes into putting on a show for Fashion Week. As the stomp of stilettos echoed off the catwalk, we made note of our favorite Fall 2012 Beauty Trends.

Bold Brows

Keep It Real

A great alternative to the sultry and bold look of Fall is to remain fresh and natural. As shown on the runway by Dior (shown) and Ralph Lauren, to wear makeup and make it look effortless is timeless and knows no season.
As a side note, don’t forget about your nails! They matter and can really bring the entire look together. Hot nail trends for Fall include a metallic finish as well as dark jewel tones (Zoya and OPI have some great shades!). If you like to keep your nails more work-safe and nude, some fabulous hues for Fall are taupe, mauve, grey or tan. Dior and Essie are great brands for shades like this.

So I have natural bold brows, I am loving the dark lip trend and all types of smokey eyes are my all tie favourite. I am so glad all these are in trend right now and will go with us into 2013 too.

It’s good that fresh and natural look remains trendy and timeless. Most of other trends come and go and after a few years we look at some old photographs with horror: How could I wear this? However, faded smoky eyes look pretty and quite natural, too.
