Updating your eye makeup collection – trying new shades of eyeshadow, adding some drama with lash-plumping mascara or even applying eyeliner differently to create a smokey effect – is a great way to capture some of the season’s latest trends. Fall 2008 makeup trends call for futuristic looks and Old Hollywood-inspired glam.
Ready to give your eye makeup collection a seasonal makeover? Here are some of the leading trends for eye makeup this Fall 2008
Eye Makeup Trend for Fall 2008: Dramatic Pastels
Pastel blues, greens and pinks come alive this Fall thanks to complementary silver and gold metallics for the eyes. It’s the season to try your hand at a futuristic look by pairing up brighter colors against a neutral eyeshadow base. Dress it up with some glittery eyeshadow for a fashion forward look this season.
Fall 2008 Makeup Trend: Thick Brows
Frame your upper face and eyes with super-thick brows, a dramatic change from the finer, over-tweezed brows of seasons past. Thick brows can be achieved with a light dusting of brow powder and setting gel, so make sure you sculpt and tweeze only a few hairs to achieve the look.
Eye Makeup Trend for Fall 2008: Shimmering Gold
Add a touch of gold to the eyelids and lower brow can turn your basic look into one with a glamorous edge. Gold-based eyeshadow is a great way to brighten up brown and hazel-colored eyes, but can also warm up other eye colors and different skin tones.
Fall 2008 Makeup Trend: Crisp and Chic Eyeliner
Unless you’re trying to create the smokey-eye look this season, aim for super-thin lines when applying eyeliner. Asian-inspired eyeliner is one of the top beauty trends for the season, and you can create that Geisha look with a Kajal pencil, dark brown or navy liner.
