The gorgeous eye shadow is a neutral tone in Catwalk (pictured)–a creamy taupe and the powder shadow a rich chocolate color. Each shadow exhibits a shimmer on your eyes and looks beautiful. I found that using my Elizabeth Arden Advanced Eye-Fix Primer helps prevent this duo from creasing. In fact, I tried it without the primer and it did crease slightly, so I definitely recommend wearing a primer underneath. I also found that the powder shadow makes for a great eye brow filler as well.

The Metallic Eye Liner in Hot Bronze is lovely. It’s not overdone and looks just as good for a daytime look as it does for night.

The Blush Highlighter Duo has a sheer blush while its counterpart has a subtle shimmer. The one I have is called Runway and contains the most perfect pale pinks.

The Lip Gloss Duo is a double ended lip gloss where one is a cream and one offers shimmering shine. You can pair them up to add some pow to your pout or wear each alone. Show is a beautiful creamy fleshtone with a slightly beige/clear gloss.

All products are available for a limited time and can be found at both Victoria’s Secrets stores and www.VictoriasSecret.com.

Not only is the skin matte with this look, but it spans eyes, cheeks and lips as well.

Products used for this model include:

Colour Surge Eye Shadow Stay Matte in Stone Violet and Slate
High Impact Mascara in Black
Blushwear Cream Stick in Shy Blush
Defining Lip Liner in Sugared Fig
High Impact Lip Colour SPF 15 in Plum Nude

This makeup look is one that would fit into the fall fashion trend of American Classic. In fact, this look will definitely fall in line with the Belted Dress in Spanish Brown that I bought from Isaac Mizrahi at Target the other day. Classic beauty always wins in my book.

This luminious skin-like look is a cross between matte and dewy, something radiant and that exudes a palette without imperfections. This is one look that is about having a minimalist look to your makeup. Soft hues for eyeshadow, a more natural blush on your cheeks, gloss or lipstick that is close to your natural color, barely there eyeliner and mascara that is not over the top. The focus is on your skin giving you the appearance of barely there beauty.

Some products I love to accomplish this look:

Elizabeth Arden Eye-Fix Primer–neutralizes uneven tones on your lids and shadow area and holds the pigment from your shadow without creasing.

Freeze 24/7 Freeze & Go–can be applied over your makeup without distrupting it and plump your skin to banish wrinkles (if only for 24 hours!) Seriously, click the link and see my before and after photos!

Physicians Formula Mineral Mineral Wear Concealer Stick–I use this everyday in yellow. Around your nose, mouth and under your eyes–it will neutralize red and create a more even look to your skin tone.

Elizabeth Arden Intervene–I seriously can’t wait for the heat and humidity of summer to go away so that I can start wearing this foundation again. Creates such a wonderful flawless look to your skin.

Sally B’s Skin Yummies Get Even Finishing Powder–Whether you use this as your foundation or as a setting powder, it hides imperfections with one quick sweep of the brush across your skin.

Prescriptives Here to Stay 24-Hour Longwear Mascara–This is still my fallback mascara. Lashes look long without looking fake.

Sonya Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Melon–Not sure this will still be available come fall, but I loved the color on my skin.

Pix! Natural Mineral Kit–Varying brown eyshadow shades are neutral and not overdone.

MAC lipstick–I’m still wearing Barely Lit from MAC’s Smoke Signals, but it looks like Mellow Flame is still available on MAC’s website, which would also accomplish the lip look for this trend.

Are there any products you’ll be using to accomplish this trend?
