This fall, go bold and edgy -- it's all about metallic highlights, matte red lips, winged-out eyes and defined brows.
Cardinal rules
 | The Behnaz Sarafpour show (below left) marked the return of the classic rouged lip. First, prepare the skin with a semi-matte foundation, says Kirk Brierley, Elizabeth Arden's manager of education and communication. Start at the centre of the face and blend out with a brush. Dab on concealer where needed, then warm up the contours of the cheeks with a pink blush. Sweep pink shadow on the eyelids, and layer a plum shade in the crease. To get the upside-down winged eye seen at Valentino's show (left), apply dark-grey shadow with an angled brush along the lower lash line. "A wet brush gives the colour more intensity and staying power," says Brierley. Line the lips in red, and use a brush to fill in the entire mouth with a matching red lipstick. No powder is necessary. "Formulations today are moisturizing and long-lasting," says Brierley. |
 | "When I saw the velvet dresses in the Behnaz Sarafpour collection, I thought of Snow White with her pale complexion and red lips. Behnaz wanted two things: matte skin and a bold mouth. We worked to create a wearable red lipstick, then I powdered the lip a bit because I wanted the whole look to be matte." --Gucci Westman |
