BEAUTY BAR: Warm It Up

November 2nd, 2016 at 2:00am

When the colors of the leaves begin to change, so do the colors in our beauty palettes. Hair trends shift towards warm tones shown through low lights for low maintenance. The same goes for fall makeup trends. Colors that range from light gold to dark burgundy are all in for fall, and can all be harmonious together in one look as long as every color used is based in tan and brown tones. A complete fall beauty look incorporates warm hair and makeup, accented with a loose braid.

Achieving this Fashionista’s look is easy, especially if you have a knack for braiding. Start about two inches behind the front of the hairline and grab about a two inch section of hair. Braid the pieces of hair like a normal braid. Tuck the end of the braid under the rest of the hair that has already been curled. Pull on the pieces of the braid to make it more loose. Spray all of the hair with hairspray when finished. For the face, start with a light layer of foundation and a peachy blush on the cheeks. This Fashionista uses many layers of eyeshadow to create a contoured effect. Shades range from matte tans to dark golds, which bring out the golden highlights in her hair. Finally, the lip color she uses brings the whole look together. She picked a soft matte burgundy color that draws from the other jewel tones she used in her outfit, such as emerald. By putting together a mostly neutral outfit, this Fashionista allows her hair and makeup story to shine through.

To complete this look, you need a curling wand, pins to hold the braid in place, and hairspray that keeps hair soft and touchable. You’ll also need to add a good burgundy lipstick, a peachy blush and a solid palette of gold eyeshadows to your makeup bag. With these items in hand, you will have a go to look for the rest of the reason!
