How to Create Flawless Nude Looks

Nude makeup look is not about a complete absence of makeup but more about the right placement of the right products to create illusion of makeup absence while underlining your best natural features and maybe slightly correcting the ones that need improvement. If you are going to play with nude makeup looks, make sure to have a good primer, concealer, foundation and some bronzer at your disposal. Also, remember to use a modest amount of brow pencil and mascara to compliment your eyes. Nude makeup is also about flawless skin (that is another huge trend of fall makeup this season!). Great skin can be perfected and illuminated by the right products, but it starts with a regular skincare routine.

As I mentioned before, deep reds are in, and there are many shades to pick from! In fact, there is hardly a shade that is not in style this fall: from orange infused, to classic deep reds, to wine and plum colors.

Red lipstick is a bold choice, and not every woman dares to wear it daily. It’s also a hard pick, if you are not sure what shade of red works for you. If in doubt, check out my earlier post on how to find the perfect red inspired yet again by talented Lisa Eldridge.
