Lots of looks from the Fall 2010 collections showed eyeshadow that was wrapped around the eye. This is a really easy look and can be done with any colour that is medium to dark. Here’s a few tips to create this diffused, soft smoky look:

1. Use a flat shader brush to apply the eye shadow to the eyelids from lash line to crease.

2. Use the same colour and blend along the lower lash line.

3. Blend out the edges to keep the look soft.

4. For extra definition take a slightly darker colour and blend through the socket line, or add dark pencil to the water line.

Yelena Yemchuk— a Ukrainian-born shooter has had a remarkably eclectic career path, with notable successes as a painter, documentary photographer and director of music videos. Her current focus began in 2001, when a friend persuaded her to try a fashion shoot for fun. Since then, Yemchuk has contributed to Italian and Japanese Vogue, the New Yorker and W, and has shot advertising campaigns for Kenzo, Cacharel and Dries Van Noten. Her photographs are dreamy and remarkably different than the regular vocabulary of slick, airbrushed fashion imagery. “People who hire me know I’m not just interested in pretty dresses,” she says. “They want me to tell some kind of story.”

Joe Fresh Eyeshadow has 6 new colours for fall. For the price you really can’t beat these, they blend pretty well and the pay off is good too.

I’m really into L’oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black. For thick super black lashes this is the way to go. It claims to have twice the intensity of L’oreal’s classic black shade, it is as black as tar and makes your lashes look amazing. However, if you’re not into overly dramatic and slightly clumpy then this is not the mascara for you. Personally I’m a fan.

Got2b recently launched a couple of new hair products and sent some our way to review. Fat-tastic Instant Collagen Infusion Mega-Lift Root Boosting Spray is designed to plump up flat hair, give lift and body without feeling crunchy. Lisa tried it first on damp hair and it worked pretty good considering it didn’t feel too crunchy or product heavy. The next time she used it she sprayed her roots on hair that hadn’t been washed for a day. Normally she washes her hair everyday because it looks so flat on the second day, but thought she’d test out the product to see if it could get some volume. She then sprayed her roots with the product and then blow dried. She got quite a bit of volume and it was so much faster than rewashing and blow drying her hair.

On my hair, after spritzing the roots I used my hands to push my hair up, skipped the blow dry, and used a curling iron to create waves. I did get some volume at the roots that lasted quite well. Prior to using the curling iron I applied the Smoothing Lotion as it works as a heat protector as well as smoothing fly aways which it does nicely. The best thing about this product though, is the smell!

Hair for Fall 2010 has a certain opulence to it. The beach waves of the summer have been replaced with a more precise curve. Sometimes soft like at Gucci, or more defined like at 3.1 Philip Lim.  After a quick discussion with my stylist here are a few tips to achieve the look:

1. Roll sections of hair up with hot rollers – size of section will depend on how tight or loose you want the curl

2. Wait until rollers have completely cooled before removing, then spritz with shine spray.

3. Smooth curls out with a brush to create volume and finish with hair spray.

1. Graphic Eyes

If you don’t own black eye kohl or liquid liner now is the time to get it. This trend is harder edged than we saw last season. The shapes are defined and deliberate, but at the same time can be toned down for real life without losing the feel.

2. All Shades of Red

Of course there are red lips this season! What we noticed is that there are a variety of shades from brights to deep darks. A lipliner and lip brush are a must to replicate these perfect pouts.

3. Luxurious Skin

As far as I’m concerned it’s always all about the skin. To create the perfect canvas prep is the key. Don’t skimp on skincare. The end result should be like cashmere, soft, smooth. Not overly matte or dewy the perfect in-between.

4. Wrap Around Shadow

You have to wrap your shadow around your eyes. Apply all over the eyelid and continue underneath. You don’t have to use a dark colour to recreate this more up to date way of shading the eyes.
