Dark Fall Makeup

Check these out, too...

Fall is in full swing. The leaves are changing color, the weather's getting cooler, and best of all, you get to switch up your makeup shades.

This autumn it's all about deep, rich hues.

Think dark fall colors are drastic, overdramatic and drab? Not when you try one of these cute and easy trends.

Apple Red Nail Polish

Apply a coat of this deep crimson polish and you'll feel oh-so in-sync with the falling leaves. The rich color goes great with all the chunky sweaters, chocolate boots and cute hats you'll be sporting this season.

OPI Crepes Suzi-ette, $6, lotusnailsupply.com

Bronze Eye Shadow

Sure, summer's over, but don't toss all those shimmery shades. A beautiful bronze eyeshadow will give ya a sunny glow but still looks autumnal enough to be OK in October. Even better? Bronze eyeshadow can do double duty as a cheek highlighter.

Smog Eyeshadow, $16, urbandecay.com

Seriously Maroon Lips

Lush lips add a li'l extra somethin' to your totally cute fall look. A dark lipstick pops and will get ya noticed in a good way. Dash a bit of this on and your lips will def be making a statement.

TruShine Lipcolor, $7, covergirl.com

Romantic Rosy Cheeks

It’s all about the romance—especially in autumn. This multi-purpose cheek and lip stain does the trick. Swipe some on your cheeks and rub in for an adorable blushed look. Going out for the night? Apply a coat to your lips and look super lovestruck!

The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain, $14, thebodyshop-usa.com

Loud Laquer

Oh baby, just 'cause it's cold outside doesn’t mean you have to sport strictly darker shades. Spice it up a li'l bit and treat your nails to this bright orange nail polish. Added bonus? It's perf for Halloween.

my eyes are a blueish green and i was wondering what color eye shadow would bring out the color best? could you please help me!?!?!??!! i am also wearing a green, black and white dress for the upcomming dance, what color eye shadow would be good. Thanks alot!
-Alynay

Hey babe,

The color of eyeshadow you should wear depends on your eye color rather than your outfit. Try blues, greens or grays.

all these shades are too dark for my skin tone...
are there any shades tht will look sophisticated
but not depressed- clown looking? Thanks!

Try some gold shimmery shades then. Classic but pretty! Best,

They have this all wrong. Turquiose is NOT in this fall. Turquoise is a winter and summer color. Plus, orange-perfect, red-spring color.

my mom won't let me wear makeup. how can i get her to sway her opinion on me wearing it. i am 14, and i think my mom is so controlling. she won't even let me wear shirts that let me show even the smallest part of my chest. help!

Hey girl! Try explaining that you just want to wear some natural colored eyeshadow and mascara. You aren't going to go crazy with it. If she still doesn't want you wearing anything under any circumstances, you are going to have to listen to her. She won't prevent you from wearing it forever.

XOXO

is 13 too young to start wearing makeup?

Hey babe,

There's no right or wrong age to start wearing makeup. You may want to talk to your parents and find out what they think. If you do decide to start make sure to keep it natural- you still want people to see the beautiful you. Dab on some mascara and sheer lip gloss and you should be set!

hi! i wanted to ask a q, the eye makeup in this pic http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/10/07/dark-fall-makeup.aspx#comments would be perfect for my halloween costume. just by looking at the picture, how do you think you'd do it?? could you try to give me step by step?? thank you so much!!

Apply black liquid liner to the top and bottom of your eye (in a "cat eye"style). Then get some pink and red shadows and apply the darkest colors closest to your lashes and the lighter colors closer to your brow. Add some black mascara to finish off the look. Best, Miliana

This is kinda a dumb question, but does entering more than once in the giveaways increase ur chances of winning the item? Also, how do u know the girls' names and states? Thanks a million!!

Yeah it does. We pick them randomly and if we see you tons of times in the list we'll pick you. However if youve won recently you wont win. As for the name and state we get them from your information on your profile. so if you dont have your address filled in on your account information we wont get your information. xoxo kerra

I need help! I don't know about makeup, even though I really want to find my color for my eyes, I just can't seem to find it. I have brown hair, dark brown eyes, and brown eyebrows(which I think are in between thick and slim). Please help! I know purple, gold, broze, and black are good colors for people with brown hair, eyebrows, dark brown eyes. I also have light skin.

Hey girl! You could go to a makeup counter and ask professionals what would looks best or you could try them all out.

***MOD!!* how do i spice up my witch costume from last year? i want to look hot, but don't want to waste my parents' money by buying another costume. also, any good make up ideas to go w/ the costume? thnx!

Hey girl,

Try wearing a pair of heels with your witch costume. And belts are so in this year. Wear a black belt around your waist. For make-up, try out a pair of fake eyelashes!

My hair has no volume.
It's blonde and really thin but it just hangs there, and I don't want those bump its. lol. And I don't like spraying a bunch of hairspray on it and making it look greasy. What do I do?

Hey, use a comb to tease the crown of your hair. Also, use a root lifting product that you can buy at any drugstore to put in your hair before you style it.

Hey, I like choppy bobs. Look in magazines for styles you like to take in to the salon when you go to get it cut. I like a natural makeup look. Stick with brown neutrals for the eyes and a peachy bronzer with a light pink lip gloss.

darbyakamimi on 10/8/2009 9:31:58 PM

Hey, MOD! My crush's best friend really doesn't like me. She loves drama and is always trying to start things with me. I handle them maturely with things like "I'm sorry if I offended you, but I didn't mean it that way." But her and her friends are always ganging up on me. I'm afraid my crush will start to share her ideas of me.

Hey babe, all you do is be yourself and be proud of who you are. If you think there's something you're doing to rub people the wrong way then think about how you could stop. But if you're just having fun and someone doesn't like you then just let it go. If your crush is worth it, he'll have his own opinion.

Hey, if you're just using one color put it on the lids. It can take up to a week for your profile to be modded. Find a pic you like and save it to your computer to put as your pic. Then it'll show when you make a comment.
