Beauty basics to help
you embrace autumn
(ARA) - Fall is a time of transition.
Not only do you need to prepare your skin for the cold months
ahead, but it's time to transform your look from light and airy
to soft and classic.
Focus on a few beauty basics
- skin, make-up, fashion and fragrance - and you'll have all
you need for a fantastic fall.
Great skin is always in
As the weather gets cooler and
drier, your skin needs extra moisture to keep it supple. Keep
warm weather memories alive with a scent reminiscent of summer
and try Coconut Milk Body Lotion from The Body Shop. Treat yourself

Pucker up
Autumn lips are washed in soft
color. International make-up artist Chase Aston says this fall
is all about the perfect pout and recommends Colourglide Lip
Color from The Body Shop.
Aston shares his tips for
luscious and gorgeous lips:
* Use a lip liner for added definition and to help
prevent feathering.
* Enhance the natural color of your lips by gently gliding
on lip color. For added pout power, use a lipstick/concealer
brush.
* Look for a shade that complements your skin tone. With
37 shades, you can easily find Colourglide Lip Color that works
for you. |

Ultra-modern eyes
This fall, dramatic smoldering
eyes are what's fabulous.
To achieve fall's hottest eye
looks, Aston gives these sizzling tips:
* Smudge together forest green, shimmering grey
and lilac to create a chic, modern, smoky eye.
* To create an intense, sultry eye look, look for a palette
that features a warm trio of rich brown, golden copper and shimmering
sand hues.
* Try a metallic eye definer. Alone, it can be used to
line and define or use it to complement your favorite eye shadow.
"Choose shades that contrast your eyes to make them pop,"
says Aston. "Apply color to the eyelid or along the lash-line
as an accent for impact."
Bundle up
Classic, "back to basics"
clothing was all the rage on the fall runways. This season's
must-have piece is the crisp white jacket that works with everything
from jeans to a little black dress. The key accessory to sport
is perfectly fitting with the chill in the air - gloves. Half
gloves, fingerless gloves and long gloves are gracing the arms
of starlets walking the red carpet and go with everything from
rugged parkas to dainty and ladylike skirts. If you've got a
special occasion to dress for, or if you're just plain feeling
glam, the gold dress, inspired by the rich tones of autumn, is
the choice for your holiday parties. |
