Special Koko‘s favorite make-up trends, enjoy!
Hey everyone!
As you know, our dearest Nookie is away to see the world…or at least a small, but very awesome, part of it. In the meantime, she asked me to fill in for her.
After giving it some thought, the best subject that came to mind was fall make-up trends. I don’t want you to get the wrong impression; I’m not the kind of girl that follows trends blindly. On the contrary, I tend to stick with what I like and what I know works best for me. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get educated on the offer, see what we like and apply it to ourselves. That’s why I chose to talk about my favorite make-up trends, the ones that I think can easily be worn off the catwalk.
Dark lips
(Yves Saint Laurent Fall-winter 2011-2012)
(Runway Red, Rebel, Prince Noir, Smoked Purple)
Although this is a trend that never gets old, I rarely see it on the streets. I personally love it and I think it’s full of personality. The one wearing it comes across as being confident and strong, so why not give it a go? I’m sure it’s harder to get accustomed to a darker shade, but keep your eye make-up to a minimum, and you’ll have no problem. You can opt for a burgundy or berry color, a rich purple or a deep plum.
Wine-stained lips
(Chloe & Donna Karan Fall-winter 2011-2012)
I don’t know about you, but these wine-stained lips look extremely sexy to me. They are a perfect way to archive a mysterious and seductive look. Where to wear it? How about on a romantic night out? Make sure to moisturize the lips first, add a coat of lipstick, blot with a tissue and add a bit of gloss on top for a sheer look.
Colored liquid eyeliner
(Jil Sanders Fall-winter 2011-2012)
This is such a fun trend and I’m hoping more people will take it up. I admit I’m a black eyeliner fan, but this is the moment to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. Gold, purple, aqua…the world is you oyster!
Colorful Smoky eyes
(Rag & Bone Fall-winter 2011-2012)
(Vera Wang Fall-winter 2011-2012)
This is probably my favorite trend, probably because it’s the one I wear the most. You can still wear the classic black look, but why not opt for purple, orange, copper or royal blue shades?
(Roberto Cavalli Fall-winter 2011-2012)
Also, try metallic shadows for a sexy, sultry look. Combine them with nude lips and you’re set.
Gold shadow in the inner corner
(Roberto Cavalli Fall-winter 2011-2012)
Can you spell LOVE? How cool is this look? I love adding a touch of shimmer in my inner corner and this gold metallic color is a beautiful choice. It draws attention to the eyes and makes them look bigger. You can combine it with a smoky look ( like in the pictures above), or use lighter pink, orange or copper tones for a day-time look.
Dramatic lashes
(Gucci Fall-winter 2011-2012)
(Gianfranco Ferre Fall-winter 2011-2012)
(Lanvin Fall-winter 2011-2012)
Dramatic lashes or spider lashes, as they call it. I’m not a fan of clumpy looking mascara, but fuller and longer lashes, on the other hand…definitely yes! If you want to achieve a fake lashes effect, curl your lashes, apply one coat of your favorite mascara, wait for about a minute and apply the second one. I’m a falsies junkie so I’m going to take the easy way out.

wine lips is definitely my fav! looking fw to try it!
hm…the Lanvin makeup is also brilliant!
True deep colors! I love the plum lips!
Loving the colored eyeliner! Big fan of it and sing it all the time 😀 xx
My fave trends would have to be the Gold shadow on the inner corner and the colourful smoky eyes. Always have been a fan of both trends, and I find those two practical and wearable.
