Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Gray and Purple Eyes

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fashion Week

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Gray/ Purple Eyes
I hate to be cliché and trust me I want to start smacking people around when I hear stuff like this but -- gray is the new black for Fall 2008. MAC's Trend Spot write up during New York Fashion Week declared that purple and gray are the colors to have your eyes this coming Fall.

If you want to capture this trend here are some great products for you:

NARS Single Eye Shadow: NARS makes a great eye shadow, I don't know why I don't use it more. The color always goes on strong and has nice staying power. This color is perfect for Fall 2008 because it's a combination of the two hottest shades for beauty ... gray and purple.

Bare Escentuals Wearable Eye Kit - Meet The Stones This kit by Bare Minerals has all the gray eye shadow that you will ever need. If for some reason these colors don't work for you, try mixing and matching to achieve your perfect shade of gray.

DuWop Gray Eyes I love DuWop's eyeshadow kits ... mostly because they are super cute. This kit is perfect for getting your perfectly gray, perfectly smokey eye for Fall 2008.

Sephora Brand Enchanted Eye Palette - Plum
I am a sucker for an eye palette, you get all you need and more in one neat little package. This palette will be your best friend in Fall 2008 because grays and purples are the "it" thing to have in your make up bag.

Urban Decay Matte Eyeshadow If you want color that goes on just like you see it in the container then Urban Decay is perfect for you. When I was in high school I bought a bright blue (I was in high school remember) from Urban Decay and that sucker went on bright! Probably a bit too bright for the way I was applying it but still.

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Glitter Eye

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fashion Week

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Glitter Eye
I love glitter. I mean what girl doesn't like the shiny stuff? I have been wearing glitter on my eyes for years and years. I can clearly remember myself as a teen heading off to baby-sit with a fresh coat of glitter on my eyelids only to hear my mother shout "Get that crap off of your eyes, you will scare the kids." Newsflash Mama, kids like glitter too.

Glitter may have never left for me but for the rest of the population it's probably been a while since you have rocked it. This coming Fall has been dubbed by MAC Cosmetics as the "season of the glitter eye." I am sure a lot of you just jumped back in horror with images of disco balls and drag queens but fear not because there are many ways to wear this trend without looking absolutely ridiculous.

Go wild: If you want to go wild with this trend there are some awesome beauty products that you should try out. MAC's glitter eyeliner is a personal favorite of mine and comes in a bunch of fun colors. Another great item to try is glitter mascara; this look should be reserved for evening only and be careful not to rub your eyes too much (glitter in the eyes hurts).

Go subtle:
If the thought of glitter has you running scared you can go easy with the trend and try a shimmery eye shadow or apply a little glitter lotion to your legs or chest. NARS body glow lotion smells great and will give you the glitter affect without going overboard.
