The Faces Of Fall '05
By Elke Von Freudenberg
Makeup Artist
LOOK I
The Ali McGraw Eyebrow Look
Here, it’s all about the eyebrows and bone
structure.
To get the look, you’ll need your eyebrow
angle brush,
Frame It Millenium Collection
a "1 shade darker than your eyebrows" eye shadow.
Adobe Brow Maker for blondes
Walnut Brow Maker for light browns
Silence Brow Maker for brunettes
Sable Brow Maker for redheads
Darken your eyebrows with shadow, and brush through with a old
toothbrush to soften in and make it look more real. To set and keep
eye shadow on all day, mist your Frame It Brush with Eyeliner
Sealer for more staying power.
Then, take your bronzer and dust under cheekbones by the ear,
under the back of the jaw and across the eyelids. Add a ton of
mascara on top lashes only.
To complete the look, add 2 or 3 dramatic sweeps of blackest black
mascara.
Absolute Black Lush Lash Mascara
Lips are literally no color, just lip balm Or try a closest to your lip color
look like Java Lipstick.
LOOK 2
The Red Lip is Back.
Yep, you heard right. It's back. It’s red and it’s matte.
Think red lip and nothing else, or red lips and dramatic
eyes.
Either way it's a statement.
LIPS:
I personally like the richer, matte berry stain reds rather
than an orangey red. (Doesn't make teeth look white like a
blue red does!) Apply, either as a stain for day, or perfect
placement, and matte for night.
THE perfect lip color this season?
Classic Red Lipstick
EYES:
Think smokey, smudgey, in jewel tones or matte. Either or,
but not both. Apply your rich shimmery chestnut,bronze
(Jungle Love Eye Shadow is perfect)
or gold (like
18K Gold Eye Shadow applied really lightly) over the entire eyelid and smudge
around under the bottom eyelashes. Leave the dark gray, gray or black shadows in the makeup drawer. That's
so last year. Take your dark brown like Absolute Brown Eyeliner Pencil (not black, too much) eye pencil and
line eyes both top and on the insides of the bottoms. Lashes, dark, top and bottom. Smudge slightly so it's still
a line. It's not about smudging out or making the eye bigger. Keep the line thin.
Keep cheeks clean on this one.
This is perfect for a night out, and can either be classic, or sexy. It's your call!
LOOK 3
Eyeliner Elegance
Here it's focus on eyeliner. Think elegant Audrey Hepburn.
It’s sweet, pinky blush, soft pink lips, and strong defining
eyeliner.
EYELINER:
The runways may be showing liquid liner, but we all know
that's a pain. One mistake, and it's over. Make it easy on
yourself.
Take a black eyeliner pencil. (Absolute Black Eyeliner ).
Line your eyes lightly both top and bottom. Then take a
long eyeliner brush.
Line It Brush
Take black eye shadow,and mist the brush with your eyeliner sealer. Lightly blend into the eye shadow. Lightly
trace over the eye pencil. Just a super thin line. Because you're tracing over pencil, you'll find you have a
steadier hand and it just seems easier because you've 'already done it' with the pencil. See?
Then, with the brush, place it on the outside of the eye, right where the top lashes meet the bottom lashes.
There's this little spot between the two. Place the brush there and sweep out. Make that little flip at the end of
the lashes. As you sweep out, lift the brush up away from the face. The line will go from thick to thin. And the
placement makes it perfect every time.
BLUSH:
Think baby pink. Like Pink Tush Powder Blush. Apples of the cheek.
Take a brush that's exactly the size of your cheeks when you
smile. Place the brush tips there. Smile. Too big? Too small?
You'll see it right away. You'll need a brush that's just right.
Take your brush, tap lightly onto the blush. Tap, tap, tap. Shake
the brush. Then, lightly tap, tap, tap onto the cheeks as you
smile. Do both cheeks, and then blot the bristles off on a
kleenex. Then with the same brush, lightly blend the blush into
the skin, and a touch backwards towards the ear.
TRICK OF THE TRADE:
Afraid you'll do too much? Try this photo trick of mine. Apply
your powder blush before your foundation. Do a bit more than
you'd like. Then apply your liquid foundation over, with fingers
or a foundation brush. It'll cut the color down perfectly and you'll
find your blush lasting all day long. Don't forget to powder over.
Shade It Brush
LIPS:
Soft Dawn Lipstick
Think pink with a touch of tan in it. Lightly apply to lips. Even a soft frost is nice. But remember. No gloss.
Sooooo out this fall. Remember: It's matte this season.
Think elegant, refined, fresh.

The Rich Lip Look.
Here, it's all about lips.
Rich, jeweled, matte or a matte frost, perfect lip.
Huckleberry Lipstick
Prism Lipstick
Dakota Lipstick
Clean eyes, mascara, maybe a touch of rosy blush
on the apples.
But here, the focus is on the lips.
Take a shade that's about 5 shades deeper than
your normal lip color. Perfect choice.
Shape It Brush
Take a flat, round eye shadow brush. One you
never use. See this shape above? Perfect.
Fill the brush with lipstick and fill in the lip first.
Then, trace up to your lip line. Use the top of the
bristles to draw your line, not the side. Hold the
brush vertically. Then, if needed, take a matching
lip pencil in deep berry stain (Allure Lip Pencil is perfect!) and line the lip AFTER you have done the lipstick.
It makes it so much easier.
Also, pressed for time? Fill in the lip with lipstick first. Then line the mouth. If you line the mouth first, you'll be
lining forever to get it right. But if you have the majority of the lip filled first, it's so much easier to find the line of
the mouth.
Take a kleenex and 'kiss' the kleenex or press the kleenex straight across the lips. Don't bite it. You blot the
inside of the mouth that way, not the lip line which is what bleeds right? You should have a perfect 'kiss' print
on your kleenex if you did it right. Very lightly dust loose powder with a large fluffy powder brush. And then with
the remainder of what's left on your eyeshadow 'lipstick' brush, go over your lips one more time. Done!
Add rich layers of mascara top lashes only. Maybe a warm chestnut color swiped across the crease of the eye.
TREND ALERT:
Shadows are being concentrated in the crease of the eye now. New look! The smokey across the eyelid look is
fading away.
Remember, the lips are the star in this look. Perfect for a night time martini date, or a subtle version is perfect
for that very professional business presentation. Very elegant. Very rich.
