UnknownThe Party Eye: Blue Revival
Blue eyeshadow is back in a big way – and lucky for us you can wear it in different ways (that don’t look eighties in any way). Wear as a slick of liner to update your flick; in the waterline or to give a smoky eye a modern twist.
Get the Look: Use this crayon for a liner look or blend out for a smoke. There are no rules, just experiment to find the blue and the style that suits you.

UnknownThe Skin: Cashmere Coverage
Autumn’s complexion look translates to a good amount of coverage (where needed), and a cashmere finish (not too dewy, not too matte).
Get the Look: Build up gradually, buffing in the foundation with a brush. Apply translucent powder just where needed to keep shine at bay.

UnknownThe Day Eye: Edgy Neutral
Forget taupe or champagne, this season you want you everyday eyeshadow to have an edge. Think terracotta, khaki or copper.

UnknownThe Lip: Soft Focus
This season imperfection is perfection when it comes to lips. Blurred edges and a powdery matte finish scream modernity.
Get the Look: Burgandy and plum are the shades you want to look to this season, apply to lips then buff in with a cotton bud, before setting with a translucent powder (brushed onto lips through 1-ply of tissue) to give that velvet finish.

UnknownThe Nail: Sophisticated Nail Art
Nails were two extremes this season on the catwalks. Nude nails reigned supreme, but if you want to go down the nail art route keep it simple and sophisticated.
Get the Look: Full coverage glitter polish is one way to wear it. Or, go for a simple graphic look, using a striping brush to add simple lines as a focal point for your manicure.
