Autumn Skin 101: Makeup trend forecast

Thanks to the lovely Eloise Dreyer, celebrity beauty artist and blogger for sharing her autumn makeup trends with us today…

This autumn we have a strong palette to look forward to. I’m a lover or strong lips and eyes, and here’s what you can do to be spot on when it comes to Autumn trends.

Strong brows are making a huge comeback.
Dont over colour brows and draw stark lines, rather use a soft brow pencil like Bobbi Brown Brow Pencils, to create a strong and groomed look.

Dior Gris palettes autumn 2011

Colours for eyes include washes of greys, browns and purples.
My favourite grey palette is found at Dior in their “Gris” collection. Purples pop in pallets from MAC Wonderwoman, Estee Lauder Surreal Violet and YSL in Parisian Sky. Use an aubergine/grey/navy color eye pencil to finish off strong eyes.

Keep lips either very nude or very strong
For nude, try MAC lipstick in Myth. For strong, go for Java Jolt; a dark chocolate, or even a dark grape will be perfect.

Skin is flawless, slightly on the dewy, translucent side.
I use Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua and YSL Transfer Resistant foundation to create the best skin.

Colour mascaras are making a huge comeback.
Green, blue and purple are firm favourites. My favorite green can be found at Physicians Formula. The YSL violet mascara and MAC Wonderwoman mascara and deep blue are also fantastic to try for Autumn.

Liquid Lines
I’ve always been a great fan of liquid lined eyes. Apart from my complete love for the Bobbi Brown Gel Liner Pots, I’ve recently tried the Physicians Formula Gel Liner Pots.  They are amazing and the colour intensity is unbelieveble.
