The signs of the new season are here. Leaves crunch beneath your gray wool booties and Starbucks is offering their seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte again. But you're not here to chitchat about the romantic elements of the season, are you? We didn't think so. So let's get to the stuff that we really care about right now -- like the burnt orange and electric blue colors that are popping up in eyeshadow palettes, the wine-stained lips we're seeing in fashion mags, and the revved-up cat eye that has us purring for the how-to's already.

Click here to see the seven hottest fall trends now.

These trends are hot off of the fall 2011 New York Fashion Week runways. And we know what you're thinking: "High fashion" often looks too gaudy for everyday wear and not appropriate for non-models. That's why we talked to Uzo Ukaeje, Nars International Lead Makeup Artist, who understands the difference between the runway and real life. We got her to spill all her secrets about how to turn these fall makeup trends into looks you can wear anywhere, from the office to a girls' night out.

We're not saying that the earth's relative location to the sun should dictate how you wear makeup all the time -- and of course there are endless ways to experiment with colors. But we think you'll find that the best fall trends are just new spins on classic looks -- and these how-tos will inspire you to spice up your same-old morning routine. So, grab that pumpkin latte and start taking notes -- you don't want to miss these.

I'm going to try the upside down cat's eye. I can' seem to get the up-angled cat's eye without a lot of smudging. Maybe this will be easier.

No upside down cat eye for me, even though i must admit it looks artistic.

No big brows for me!

Navy nail polish is one of my fall/winter favorites!

I have to agree that there are some "interesting" hot trends out there. Come on, as far as trends the fresh look and wine stained lips are always in. As for the others... Would you really do the upside down cat eye? Really.

I have bold brows! But that picture is just way too dramatic! I guess that's because it's on the runway....

Nice to know what's hot for fall! I'm excited to try the burgundy lip look.
