DARING FEMININEFashion
This fall we want to enhance the female forms, and what better color than a true autumn favorite: red. Our favorite take on this tone is burgundy. Think about alternating your classic little black dress with this rich, warm seasonal tone. Make it more dressed up by decorating the dress with a gold necklace. Opt for a classic and oversized clutch bag and for the ultimate luxury – dress it up with a big fluffy jacket or coat.
Beauty
Put the focus on the eyes, draw with a black kohl pencil closest to the upper and lower lash line. Use a brush and wipe the line for a softer look. Finish with a lot of mascara on the lashes. Accent the contours of the face by applying a blush on the cheeks and shape the eyebrows with an eyebrow gel. Moisturize your lips and give them a nice shine with a lip balm. Then complement the look with a tight hair knot. Apply a mousse in the hair roots and make a center part, blow dry the hair backwards from the face until it is dry. Brush the hair back tightly into a low ponytail, roll up the hair into a tight knot and pin it in place. Secure with hair spray.
MALE MINIMALISM
Fashion
This fall we will get inspiration from the male fashion in the form of sharp lines and straight silhouettes. Invest in a nice coat with sharp shoulders, a classic white men's shirt and suit pants - three important pieces to get the right take on this trend. Avoid overloading on accessories to get the clean and simple look. If you want to feel a little more feminine, you can pair the masculine aesthetic with high classic pumps.
BeautyLet your skin radiate perfection - even out your skin tone with a light foundation and cover flaws with a concealer. Opt for earthy tones on eyelids, lips and cheeks. For a sharp makeup look, with sculpted cheekbones to enhance the strong style, apply a dark blush just under the cheekbones and blend. For a flirty look, sweep a dusty pink blush to the cheeks highest point. Curl your lashes and apply a little mascara on the lower lash line. To get an accompanying sleek hairstyle, apply a mousse throughout your hair, blow-dry it back and secure with a strong hair spray.
POWDERY PASTELS
Fashion
Pale pastels made a frequent appearance in the Autumn/Winter shows. These colors are normally associated with spring and summer but this season they’ve taken fashion in a new direction for autumn. Our favorite color is light powder pink that feels like a pretty rose. Wear the color from head to toe – you ‘ll get the best effect if the powdery tones are in the same color scheme, but be sure to mix materials to create exciting contrasts and get the color to really pop! Wear silk together with wool for a stylish mix of materials. Choose Invest in the autumn fashion garment number one - the coat in a large model and of course in pastel pink.
Beauty
Complement the powdery pastels with a fresh makeup style. Choose a fresh base with a light foundation, apply a light pink blush on the cheeks and dab a highlighter on the highest point of the checks to give the skin a nice glow. Match the powder pink color with a light brown eye shadow, apply it to the entire lid up to the crease and on the lower lash line, and finish up with a little mascara on the lashes. Avoid light pink lips, as the clothes are in that tone it can give you a washed out effect so choose a warm tone for the lips. For this soft style it´s nice if your hairstyle is a strong contrast. Our favorite? A back slick.
PREPPY STYLE
Fashion
Ease into autumn with the preppy style, a perennial favorite that never goes out of fashion. Create the right look with a classic plaid blazer, nice boyfriend jeans and loafers - relaxed and chic at the same time. All plaids are equally right this autumn, choose your favorite and buy a statement peace like a blazer, coat or pants and wear it in a relaxed way to get that relaxed chic. Wear it with a classic knitted turtleneck – a garment that is high fashion this fall. Top off the preppy look with loafers worn with thin socks.
BeautyNatural and fresh makeup is the preppy go-to look. Go for a light base and put all the focus on the cheeks and brows. Choose warm autumn colors; fill in the brows with an eyebrow shadow and apply rouge in a rich burgundy color to give your cheeks a warm glow as if you have been out for a walk in the crisp autumn air. Keep the lips natural with just a little lip balm. Get a chic but natural hairstyle by applying some hair mousse in your hair and blow dry it through. Finish up with a little hair spray.
GRUNGE CHIC
Fashion
Some of the designers where heavily influenced by the grunge era; so nostalgic! Add a touch of luxury with a splash of punk by wearing some garments in leather and shiny metals, then dress down the style with a grunge inspired shirt that you tie around the hips - think checkered á la 90s. Make the look more personal with stylish accessories – our favorite is stacking fabulous rings across your fingers.
This makeup look is all about the lips. Start by lining the lips with a dark lip liner to get an intense color, fill in the lips but leave the middle part of the lips bare. Next step, apply a lipstick in a bright red color on the lips. This gives your lips a nice 3-D effect that fits perfectly for this cool style. To get the right grunge effect, apply a dark eye shadow under the eye and lots of mascara on the eyelashes. Give your hair a surefire 1990s aesthetic with a tousled and casual hairstyle. Apply a volume mousse in your hair and tousle it properly, then finish with hairspray.
