Here’s a beauty trend that you’ll either love or hate. Dark lips is the must have beauty look this fall and you can work the dark trend for any occasion.

Get the dark lips look from any of these fab lipsticks!

  1. Givenchy Rouge Interdit Lipstick in Black Plum- It’s more than just a lipstick. It adds sexy, light-reflective , dramatic color to the lips as it nourishes and moisturizes with powerful antioxidants. Longwearing lipstick that melts right onto the lips. Perfect for achieving the gothic-inspired look seen all through the fall runways.
  2. Dior Rouge Dior Lipstick in Red Premiere- Cherry red lipstick is both innocent and sensual and is a very classic look. It’s very much a popular lip color this fall that’s so alluring. This long-wearing  lipstick  gives the perfect  coverage and shine as it hydrates the lips.
  3. M.A.C. Satin Lipstick in Film Noir- Another almost black dark lipstick that is hot, hot, hot! Film Noir, an intense brown shade from M.A.C. Cosmetics, is a great lip trend to wear on the streets.
  4. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Spicy Cinnamon- Here’s a fashionable shade that is full of mega-moisturizers, Vitamin C and E. I fell in love with this color when I saw Jessica Alba wearing this exact shade in a Revlon ad while flipping through Allure Magazine September issue. The color just screams fall and another popular look for back to school.
  5. Urban Decay Lipstick in Oil Slick- This is not your typical highschool goth lipstick. Oil slick is very glossy infused with shimmer and sparkles that nourishes the lips. This is the ultimate dramatic lip color!

Stay tuned for more back to school beauty trends for fall 2009!

Wake Up tired Eyes with M.A.C. Studio Finish Concealer

Most days and especially during the summer months I wear only concealer with a bit of mineral foundation to even out my skin tone. My go to concealer of the moment is the M·A·C Studio Finish SPF 35 concealer. It takes literally seconds to apply and adds the instant illusion of a full night of sleep and brightens my eyes. The concealer never creases, is water-resistant (a must have for contact lens wearers) has super staying power as well as preps the my eyelids to a perfectly smooth surface to hold a swoosh of Chanel shadow on my lids and a bit of liner. My other must-have for applying concealer is a foundation primer. The primer helps the concealer to go on smoothly and to prevent creases during wear. I also use M·A·C Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50 and a Shu Uemura Kolinksy Brush 5R.  The concealer brush is time saver and ensures consistent and even coverage and helps to blend into those hard to reach spots and doesn’t pull or tug on the delicate skin surrounding the eyes.

Impulse Buy of the Week – MAC Violet Fire, Style Warriors Collection

I mentioned recently on twitter that I thought that MAC’s current limited edition collection, Style Warriors, is a really beautiful and creative makeup collection – from the color selections to the packaging to the promotional imagery.

In a collection with gorgeous golds, browns, shimmery sands and yellows, the gorgeous magenta nail lacquer shade, Violet Fire, equally stood out for me.

It’s a mid tone blue-based purple with a creamy metallic quality to it – very unique. It’s equally beautiful on nails and toes, and while it may look bright, it’s not neon and as I mentioned before, there is a dash of milky cream color blended in, which softens it up tremendously. It’s still a “notice me” shade – but not distracting or too over the top for most women.

Editor’s Note: It does tend to take 3 full coats to get the full effect that you see in the bottle.

The formula is creamy and medium/thick and with a top coat applied every other day, lasted at least 5 days without any major chipping. This is another limited edition nail shade that any cosmetic lover, nail color fanatic and of course MAC fan MUST have – NOW! – RLB
