Looking for a fun way to update your makeup for fall with out spending a buck?

Ombre Lips

The latest Fall Makeup Trend that  I have been seeing everywhere and love. It’s is so easy you can diy and update your look with make up products you already own.

Being a make up artist in the industry, I had to learn how to be creative and resourceful when I had limited products to work with.

Don’t limit yourself, try new ways to use your eyeshadow, lipsticks, blushes, etc to create new looks

Here is a quick How to tutorial in creating the perfect Ombre Lip

Lipstick (product)

Products you will need:

  • Various shades of Lipstick or your favorite one
  • blushes or eyeshadows
  • neutral lipliner
  • A flat stiff eyeshadow blush or if you like a hands on approach your fingers.
  • A bit of imagination

Step 1: Line your lips with a natural lipliner. This will give you a crisp clean lip and also keep your lipstick from moving.

Step 2: Use Your Favorite Lipstick or a Lipstick that you want to update that’s been sitting in your drawer and apply to your lips. Use a lip brush for more precision if you can.

Step 3: Choose a blush color or eyeshadow color that is in the same color family as the lipstick. Example if you are using a red lipstick choose a pink blush or eyeshadow. If you want more drama find a gold shimmer eyeshadow.

Step 4: Using the flat stiff eyeshadow or your index finger and pat the eyeshadow or blush right in the center of your pout. This will give your lips the ombre affect and also make your lips look fuller because of the color contrast.

Fall Fashion Updates for the Office for under $100

You can easily update your wardrobe for the office with the latest Fall  trends and still stay with in your budget.  One of my previous jobs  required me to stay “in trend.” At first I’ll admit, I took that requirement to the fullest extent. A few short hours and about 5 shopping bags  deep, I realized I spent more on my wardrobe than I would actually make for the next month and a half.

That brief moment of shopping insanity lead me to re-think how to effectively update my wardrobe and still have money left over to survive. With practice, I learned that buying a few essential  pieces was enough to update my wardrobe for work. With a bit of thought and creativity, I always felt like the “Top Dog” at work and felt great because I knew I had money to spare.

Here are a few Fall Trends that you’ll see gracing the office:

  • Scarf Print Blouse or Pants. Pair them with neutral solids for a little bit of edge for the office

  • Tailored Leather Skirts and Shorts

My favorite way to update my fall fashion for the the office, is to get creative. Don’t be afraid to mix and match what you already have in your closet with a few new essential pieces from fall fashion trends you find in magazines. Remember being fashionable is not representing every trend possible, don’t go on trend over kill. Classics with a few key in trend pieces is a sure fire way to fashion success. Don’t let the trends work you or your wallet. Tailor trends to fit your personal style and comfort.

2. Using a clean old mascara wand, (sanitize the old wand withalcohol, rinse with water, let dry…pink eye is not so haute) Smudge into the broken eyeshadow and tap off excess.

3. Then apply the broken eyeshadow with the wand and wiggle it on to your lashes (make sure the mascara you put on first is still wet so the eye shadow pigment grabs)

4. Do all the steps one more time if you want the color to be brighter, but don’t over do it or you’ll get major Tammy Fey Clumping action…again not so haute.

Styles catering  your classic Kate Middleton to fierce and fabulous Beyonce, this is your one way ticket to “Hollywood” glamour. Dig  into Rent The Runway’s closet and walk away with a Alice + Oliva masterpiece for 50 bucks.
