Fall Facelift: The 4 Makeup Colors You Need

It's time to pack away the soft, shimmery shades that were sweet for summer and replace them with a palette that's more fabulous for fall. If we learned anything from the 2008 Fall Fashion shows, it's that structure has translated from clothing to cosmetics. Brows are bold and filled in, cheeks are made prominent with pops of color and smoky gray eyes are balanced beautifully by soft, muted lips. If makeup could be tailored, the whole look would be sewn together to create the new, fresh face for fall.

Pink Prominent Cheeks

For the Tori Burch show, Bobbi Brown created the illusion of chiseled cheeks. By sweeping marvelous shades of mauve over apples and dabbing gloss high on cheek bones, you can easily create a slimming effect for your face. For the most fashionable hue, try a sheer powder like Bare Naturale Face Powder in Mauve Glow by L'Oreal. It comes with the brush already included!

Gray eyes

Going gray is just about the happiest thing you could do for your face this fall-and Gucci's models rocked this somber shade in a most merry way on the catwalk. Whether you're lining your eyes or swirling various shades of slate, pewter and charcoal onto your eyelids-anything involving a smoky grey gaze is the way to a winning look. For an affordable version of this seasons hottest hues, try Eye Enhancers Quad Eye Shadow in Shades of Gray by CoverGirl.

Dark Brown Brows

The days of wispy-thin eyebrows are over! Keep a stern brow this fall by giving your arches some serious attention. The models who stomped down the runway for both Fendi and Prada rocked brows even Brooke Shields circa 1980 would be envious of. To help your arches achieve full-blown style status, maintain them with the help of a complete brow kit. Brow Ex-Press by Anastasia has everything you need to keep brows in shape for the season.

Nude/Pink lips

To offset dark eye colors and strong brows and cheekbones, you'll want to keep lips soft and sweet. This fall, colors like baby pink and nectar nudes are the most succulent ways to wet your lips. Fashion Week favorite Bobbi Brown has come out with a new Pale Mauve Lip Color that'll give you the flawless semi-matte finish perfect for the season.
