Fall 2011 Beauty Trends

I know I don't really talk about beauty that much on my blog but, I'm definetly going to start! Beauty is a big part of the fashion industry. Beauty and fashion go hand in hand! They're like peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, or even Mary Kate and Ashley! So now you get the picture, I'm going to start talking about beauty a lot more.

So since school about to be starting for a lot of you, myself included, I thought I would help you out with some beauty trends that would be great for fall. I was inspired by youtube guru, Macbarbie07's fall trends video, so I thought I would put my own twist on them. So check out these looks below:

1. BRAIDS! BRAIDS! BRAIDS!

Braids are really popular this fall! There are so many different braided looks you can try, from a messy side pony to a braided crown. These braids are braids with a twist! They are so not like any old Little House on the Prairie braids!


2. Bold Brows!

Bold brows are really making a big statement this year! They been spotted everywhere from the runway to Hollywood's hottest celebs! Make sure not to go overboard on this look, you don't want to look like you have caterpillars on your face! Just a few strokes with your eyebrow pencil is need pull of this look. You want to keep them long, dark, and natural looking.

3. Spider Lashes
From the Gucci Fall 2011 show
This is definetly a new trend for me! Make-up artists are getting inspiration from a spider? Really? Just the name makes me think of the itsy-bitsy spider nursery rhyme! Anyway it is a really cool look! Will any of you guys be sporting this come back-to-school?

4. Teased Hair
Teased Hair as seen on Vera Wang's Fall 2011 show
Teased hair was seen a lot at the Fall 2011 fashion shows. Soon, before we knew celebs were seen wearing this look! Now it's our turn! As a southern girl, I'm used to seeing lots of big hair. I think teased hair can be done subtly and tastefully as seen on the Vera Wang Fall 2011 show.

5. Metallic Shadow
Not sure where this is from, but it's still cool right? :)
Metallic eyes have been around for fall ever since Fall 2005. That's like 6 years ago, so this is kind of like a classic look! I'm betting that we'll see it again next fall, too! For colors, I'm liking silver over gold more, but I'm thinking that gold is more better suited for my skin tone. This look is really edgy! Think Ke$ha but without all of the glitter!

6. Graphic Eyeliner
Statement eye makeup on the Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, and Giorgio Armani Fall 2011 runways
Graphic eyeliner is simple and striking! It was said to be on of the best looking beauty trends in Milan and Paris. Don't you agree?

7. Stunning Red Lips
Red Lips at Paris Fashion Week
Any shade of red lips are hot for fall! I personally think red lips are dramatic and just really fierce looking! I pretty sure red lips look good on any skin tone, which I love! I hate when a trend only looks good on certain people. That's such a major turn off!

So I know this blog post was really, really, really long and I apologize but, I just had so many fall trends to share with you guys! I want all of you guys to look super amazing this fall, so I'm willing to do super-long posts to make sure you guys get the information to look super great. Wow, I really need to stop saying super! Anyways, I will try to do a fall clothing trend post for you guys later on this week if possible, but until then....

Stay Fierce and Funky!
