Pro Tips: Four Fall Beauty Trends Get this fall’s runway looks at home. By Christine Walewski Photography by Natasha V. Montreal-based makeup artist Margo Ducharme ( margoducharme.com) shares her tips. Prominent Brows For a natural look, rub a patch of brown liner on the back of your hand. Using an angled brush, fill in brows with fine, hairlike strokes, focusing on the upper line. Balance out the look with only mascara and a bit of colour on your cheeks and lips, allowing your brows to be the prominent feature. Tip: To avoid ending up with caterpillar brows, use this technique in moderation. Cherry Lips Prep and prime with a wax-based lip balm, going a little over the lip line to help stop the colour from bleeding out to the fine lines surrounding the mouth. “Skip lip liner and blend a bit of concealer around the lip line to help define lips instead,” Ducharme advises. “Then, using a brush or your finger, blend colour into lips so it stains and sets.” Tip: Red lips are at their most modern when worn with just mascara and a little eyeliner. Intense Eyes Stick to a simple palette: Smudge black cream eye colour all over, from the lid to the crease and into the lower lashline. Add a few coats of mascara. “Keep your lips and cheeks pale,” Ducharme suggests. Use a barely there hint of blush to wake up the face. Tip: Black too dramatic for you? Substitute it with navy and granite shades of eye colour. Chilled Cheeks To create definition, blend a cream colour or a foundation that is a bit darker than your skin tone under your cheekbones. Using light, downward motions, apply a light pink or peachy powder or cream colour across your cheekbones. A bit of white or shimmery highlighter on the top of cheekbones (closer to your eyes) will further accentuate the sculpting. Tip: Try using your summer foundation as the darker shade needed to get this look.
