Natural Shimmer
The first step, says Lima, is to illuminate your eye area, which "instantly allows you to look refreshed and youthful." She suggests applying a luminizing cream around your eyes for a glow, and then you can leave it at that for a simple look, or follow up with a metallic shadow to draw even more attention to your eyes. Try shades of gold, gray, or even pink.

Colorful Cat Eye
You can go the traditional smoky eye route with a black, bronze, or purple shade, but Jenna Menard, Clinique Global Colour Artist, has another idea. "Blue hues were all over the runways for fall and are one of my favorite picks for eyes," she says. She suggests going all out with an intense blue shade or, if you're still warming up to the trend, a softer baby blue.
Another fun shade, albeit trickier to wear, is pink. "Pink hues paired with deep browns work well together to create a subtle smoky eye," Menard says. Just be sure not to pick a shade with too much red -- it can make your eyes look tired.

Berry Stain
There are plenty of lip stains to choose from, but if you already have a berry lipstick you love, mark celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg has this tip: "You can get the look by blotting on powder, then applying lip color, without worrying about staying in the lines," she says. "Next, use concealer or foundation to diffuse the edges of the lips."

Big, Beautiful Brows
Of course, not everyone is blessed with a pair of perfectly coiffed caterpillars above their eyes. Nadine offers this tip for skimpier brows: "Fill [your brows] in with two brow pencils, one the color of your brows and one a shade darker," she says. "To really step it up, wet a stiff angled brow brush in water before you dip it into a brow shadow then fill in your brows, slightly exaggerating and extending them." Then Nadine says to use brow gel to brush the brow hair closest to your nose inward (toward your nose), the middle part of your brows upward, and the outer part toward your ears.
Sure, summer is just getting into full swing, but we're already hearing whispers about the new makeup trends for Fall 2013. It's bold (brows), it's bright (skin), it's retro (dig out those Doc Martens), and it's what we'll be wearing come September when things start cooling off.
But don't take our word for it. We went straight to the experts -- the makeup artists we trust most. These pros combed Fashion Week runways in New York, Milan, London, and Paris and spotted (or created) the headline-grabbing makeup trends you'll be seeing everywhere this fall.
Some of the trends, like red lipstick, are classic fall staples. It's like the harbinger of cool weather -- we expect it, and fall in love with it year after year. But some of these news looks, like the colorful, winged eye makeup or hyper-contoured, glowing skin, are a complete 180 from recent makeup trends. To be honest, they seem a bit intimidating at first look, but all of these trends are easy to wear and work on everyone -- Scout's honor. Even better, a couple of the fall makeup trends, like rebel/punk eyeliner, are supposed to look messy. Even if you think you're completely inept at applying makeup, you almost can't screw up this look.
