As the days get shorter and your suntan starts to fade, take note of the changing leaves
and follow suit by switching up your go-to beauty colors. While this past summer you’ve been
playing up your girlie side with pale pinks and cute corals, fall 2010 calls for something bold – red.
The perfectly defined red lip statement dominated the fall 2010 runways in February by
designers like Nannette Lepore, Herve Leger, Givenchy and DSquared2. The clothes on the
catwalks said “I am strong, I am woman” while the lips add in “but also beautiful”. In the past, red
lips were often matched with feminine, flirtatious outfits. However, fall 2010 introduces a new take
on the glamorous lip. Do not be afraid to wear red lips with a powerful blazer, strong long-sleeved
dress or layers of sweaters and scarves. This season’s red is for the modern woman who is smart,
stylish and glamorous. Look out world, red lipstick isn’t the only thing we have up our sleeve.
From crimson to scarlet, reds are the season must have. Choose your particular shade
wisely and in accordance to your most worn fall items. For example, bright, glamorous reds go
great with dark, neutral colors –black, charcoal, jewel tones; just as warmer, orange reds pair
perfectly with browns, greens and other earth colors.
For the rest of your face think simple and natural, perhaps a thin liquid line on the eye or
light brushed mascara and a soft layer of blush to match your colored lips. When in doubt, check
out the celebrity examples of perfect red lipstick for inspiration. Kate Bosworth, Lauren Conrad and
Leighton Meester are just three Hollywood femme fatales who pull off the red lips seamlessly.
Just because your days at the beach are coming to an end, it doesn’t mean your fall won’t
be filled with bigger, brighter, bolder things.
