Fall

MAC Love That Look: Strike A Pose And Fashion Groupie

MAC review, Love That Look, Shadow

I've said it before, and I'll say it again… Summer is my favorite season, but the makeup of Fall is tops in this beauty blogger's book! Rich, deep jewel tones like these from MAC's Love That Look collection are a great way to be makeup-ready for Fall! Don't forget a shadow primer! You'll want these beautiful shadow shades to be as vivid as possible…

Fall 2009: “Well-Suited” With Prescriptives!

Tailored menswear-inspired looks are showing up in many Fall fashion collections. Prescriptives supports this dramatic statement with Well-Suited, a Fall Color Collection that translates this edgy, yet feminine style into a range of sophisticated shades from tweedy browns to silky purples.

Prescriptives Director of Color Artistry Jillian Veran explains how to achieve the sophisticated and tailored look of Well-Suited:

“We all love a good lip gloss, but there is something incredibly feminine about the bold statement of a lipstick…in this collection the look of a creamy nude lipstick is accentuated by a strong eye liner…create a sharp straight line or a smudgy, sexy look, but either way you will want to line the inside rim for extra drama.”

Suit your mood and your attitude with the Well-Suited Eye Color Compact. Available in Warm, Neutral and Cool $40.00 U.S. / $48.00 Canada

The translucent, silky-light Well-Suited Finishing Powder helps set makeup, gives skin subtle luminosity and a smooth finish. $28.00 U.S. / $35.00 Canada

NEW Longwear Kohl Liner glides on, then sets for a long, smudge-resistant, waterproof wear. Goes from inner rim to outer lashline for a look that lasts all day. Available in Black Kohl, Slate Kohl, Brown Kohl, Blue Kohl $17.50 U.S. / $21.00 Canada

Colorscope Lipcolor glides on smoothly, feels lightweight and provides extraordinary shine, leaving lips looking glossy and feeling moist and comfortable. Available in Posh Nude, Posh Pink, Posh Honey, Posh Ginger $17.50 U.S. / $26.00 Canada

Markets And Makeup: Estee Lauder Sensuous Gold

estee lauder review, sensuous gold, fall 2009, color

Something I've never mentioned on Raging Rouge is that I am actually obsessed with more that just makeup. In fact, I am currently way too interested in monitoring this train-wreck of an economy, and the stock market in particular.

Interestingly, knowing a thing or two about the market can actually tip you off on trends in fashion and makeup. I've been watching the price of gold tick higher and ever-higher, and realized that since scarcity=status, Gold is going to be smokin' hot this season.

Personally, trends be damned, I've always preferred gold over platinum. There's something timeless and treasured about the yellow metal, so I was thrilled to see Estee Lauder embrace the trend, with their new color collection for Fall 2009, Sensuous Gold.

Back To School Beauty: MAC Baby Bloom, Suntints

MAC, Baby Bloom, Back to school, makeup This is a first for me, as I've never really featured any products specifically as "Back to School" requirements. But when MAC recently introduced the Baby Bloom collection, it immediately conjured images of sunny days on campus in the early Fall.

Launched on July 30th, the two products featured in the Baby Bloom collection are easily worn by all ages… but if this beauty blogger had to select makeup necessary for school, Baby Bloom would be it. Sheer formulas allow the natural beauty of youthful co-eds to be accentuated, not concealed. An added SPF helps you to keep skin young, too!

Included in this collection:

STUDIO MOISTURE TINT SPF 15, $29.50
Light Soft pale beige
Medium Warm beige
Medium Dark Caramel beige
Dark Deep caramel
Deep Dark Rich golden bronze

SUNTINTS SPF20 LIQUID LIP BALM, $14.50
Lilt of Lily Soft creamy pale pink
Pink Tinge Clean bright yellow pink with gold pearl
Full of Grace Soft sheer rose
Just a Smidge Soft pastel yellow with multi-coloured pearl
Moist Plum Light lilac with very fine pearl
