Tarte Cosmetics - Fall 2008 Collection.

Fall Beauty Trends Gold Eyeshadow and The Smoky Eye.So while finding the runway photos on style.com for the Pure Gold post, I realised that the gold eye shadow look that has been in my mind wasn’t really the Bottega Veneta S/S08 look but it was the very different Versace S/S08 look: the smokey eyes.
For a light smokey eye, go for the Zac Posen S/S08 way.
You can see that there’s obviously yellowish-gold eye shadow in the inner corners and on the bottom lashes. As for the top outer eyes, the brown eye shadow is applied in a ‘wing out’ way, which may look cool on the models, but I imagine very hard to apply on yourself in real life -the winged shape is so hard to acheive!

For something more smoky and made-up for a night out, try the Versace S/S08 way. The Versace ‘face’ is definitely one of my favourites this season. It’s pretty do-able in real life, (as long as you don’t expect to look 100% like it does in the photos.)

For an imitation of this smokey eye, just blend gold and brown on your eye lids.

Try this: Mac’s Goldmine + Tempting. I’ve never actually tried tempting, but I’m guessing most shades of shimmery brown would be ok.

Pale lips seem to be the way to go, although for some odd reason, pale lips never seem to look as cool in real life as in fashion magazine photos.

Picture yourself in this makeup for a night out -loves it!

Estee Lauder Chocolate Decadence Collection - Fall 2008.  Oh Estee Lauder…why do you tempt us so…If there is one thing neither one of us can resist, it’s chocolate.

Combine that with our passion…makeup…and we’re starting to salivate.

This Fall, Estee Lauder is introducing a collection for the chocolate lover in all of us…the Estee Lauder Chocolate Decadence Collection.

It combines gorgeous warm chocolate hues enhanced by luxurious caramel gold and sugared berry tones.

For the full effect, the look they’ve created for Fall features intensified lined eyes and softly glowing skin complemented by lightly sculpted lips and perfectly polished nails.

We’re loving this compact, just for the name alone.  Estee Lauder Creme Caramel Shimmer Powder ($32), delivers a beautiful subtle shimmer to your skin.

It combines marvelous swirls of milk chocolate, white chocolate, and golden hues that can be used alone for highlighting and contouring or blended together for a warm, radiant look.

You can apply this anywhere you want to glow…think your face, shoulders and décolletage.

It’s suitable for all skin tones and packaged in Estēe Lauder’s signature compact case featuring a rich chocolate brown color.

The new Signature Eyeshadow Quads ($35) are just to die. The pattern on each eyeshadow, reminds us of individual Godiva chocolates with their intricate and precious designs.

They come in two sets of colors, Berry Truffle and Caramel Truffle and feature a divine large mirror and dual ended applicators, both allowing for easy on the go application.

For even more eye drama, add intensified lined eyes with Estēe Lauder’s Artist’s Eye Pencil ($19) in Brown Writer and new, limited edition Plum Writer. For beautifully defined lashes, finish with Projectionist Mascara ($20) in black

The Pure Color Lipstick ($22) in Berry Cordial and Creme Caramel and new limited edition Berry Swirl and Caramel Swirl is like a twisty cone treat for your lips. They keep your pout hydrated while delivering chocolatey hued goodness.

Finally, our fave…lipgloss. Estee Lauder Pure Color Swirl Gloss ($18) is fabulous and we want it…now.

It available in two shades, Berry Swirl and Caramel Swirl and they are just to precious for words. The tri-color swirly design was actually inspired by chocolatiers and their delectable ingredients. When you apply the gloss, all three shades combine together into one sheer, divine shade that can be worn solo or layered over lipstick.

Definitely going on the wish list.

Oh…yeah…as if that’s not enough…the lip glosses and the lipsticks, have a raspberry scent too.

Rounding out the Fall offerings are their Nail Colors. Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer ($18) is available in shades of Satin Gold and new, limited edition shades of Berry Cordial.

You can find them all at esteelauder.com and at Estee Lauder counters nationwide. Hurry though, most of these are limited editions.
