Blend With The Trend: The "No Makeup" Makeup Look

It is officially my sembreak! I'm so happy. I think my school might win the award for the most number of school days award. I feel like I am back on track after those seemingly endless nights of reviewing for final exams.

This fall season, I have heard and read that the "no makeup" makeup look is a big trend. It is basically a look with very minimal products on. Basically, the concept of this look is to achieve an even skintone, a gorgeous flush and a radiant finish. I also think that this would be perfect for those girls who hate wearing makeup or for those who just want to have a natural look. Its like your face, but better I would say. I feel that this look is very appropriate for school because of its subtlety.

Like in these pictures, we want to look polished and au naturale. Here are some of my thoughts on how to achieve this look and be a barely there beauty.

Blend With The Trend: Polka Dots for Fall

Say goodbye to stripes as polka dot is the new pattern for Fall 2011. This trend is seen all throughout the runway, including Marc Jacobs and Diane Von Furstenberg.

You can wear it anyway you like, be it all over or just an accent to an already beautiful ensemble. I personally like polka dots and wear it whenever I feel like it. Good thing that it is very in mode this fall.

Here are some tips on wearing this trend:

1. Wear it as a shirt/blouse. You can go big or small on the dots depending on what the occasion is or what you personally prefer. For those who are a little skeptical, you can opt for smaller polka dots. The fine dots will also be more appropriate for work or school.

2011 Fall Trends

Hope you are having a great Sunday.

The summer season is almost over, (well not in my country because its tropical) and what better way to welcome it than having these latest trends in your pocket?

1. Smoky Metallic Eyes

Goodbye good 'ol classic black smoky eye. Metallic shadow is the way to go this season. It brings a fun twist to the classic smoky eye which makes it a little more modern if I may say so.

2. Dramatic Lashes

Summer is all about the natural look = minimal makeup. Well, that is not for long since dramatic, voluminous lashes are back. Two to three coats of your favorite mascara will do the trick, but if you want more glamour, putting on false eyelashes woould give you more drama.

Blend With The Trend: Cutout Tops

I know that this has been around for quite a while, but I have been really into this trend and I really wanted to buy at least one for myself. I think this would be really flattering if you have broad shoulders because it would sort of accentuate it. You know what they say, if you've got it, flaunt it!

The striped ones would be so cute with jean shorts and a pair of sandals. You can typically wear this one out to the mall, or if you are just hanging with your friends. I especially like the floral dress at the bottom which could be perfect for lunch dates or simply if you like dresses in general. I can't wait to buy one of these! Tweet
