Ice Beauty


In the cosmetic industry make-up can begin to become predictable. For the past couple of seasons we have been enjoying the bright colors. However there is a bit of a change that we all can take note of. Instead of being bright and bold, designers have opted for deeper, richer tones.

Eye Shadow
Slate colors such as gray, pewter, and greens with accents of pinks and corals have dominated the runway. So have burgundies, sables, bronzes, and purples. Designers are getting away from the bright colors of the spring. Indigo smoky eyes are becoming more popular among the celebrities and on the runway. For eye liner stick with brown or grey, black is just a tad bit vampirish.

Blush
Liven up your cheeks with just a hint of color. Roses and corals are the dominant colors for blush in fall 2008. Orgasm by Nars and Raizin by MAC are some of the featured shades.

Lips
Old Hollywood is back! Dark Lips are becoming more beautiful by the minute. Picking up heavily in the mainstream burgundy lips are the new sexy red lip. If you are not quite comfortable with dark lips then the more natural look is just as beautiful.

Love the makeup shades on the side of your trend board. You should pruchase those shades and create the ice beauty look you talked about in your post.

I love, love, love, your image. You made that make-up pop out and come to life. The color pallete you chose blended in with the model and it looked fabulous. Love the name you gave it. Since you are into make-up you should create your own line and name it Ice Beauty.
