Edgy eyeliner that curves down This season, eye makeup is getting an overhaul thanks to the way makeup artists are applying eyeliner. While we typically see the line of the eyeliner lift up at the outer corners of the eyes, it's now following the curvature of the eye shape -- resulting in a line that points down, which was seen at the Marc Jacobs show. "This helps eyes look bigger by defining and elongating them," says Ukaeje. She says the look is less 60's inspired and more modern. To get it:

Step 1: Prep the lid with an eyeshadow primer to minimize smudging.
Step 2: Apply concealer from lashline to brow to even out skin tone.
Step 3: Sweep a matte skin-toned color from lashline to brow with an eyeshadow brush.
Step 4: With a smudge-proof eyeliner like Nars Larger Than Life in Via Veneto, $23, line your top lashline, thickening it as you reach your outer corner. Extend the line about half an inch past the outer corner of your eye, following your eye shape downward.
Step 5: Curl eyelashes and apply two coats of volumizing mascara.

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.

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.
