2005 Fall Make-Up Preview

Tank tops and shorts are being traded in for sweaters and cargos, and pastel lip glosses and blushers are being exchanged for earthy colors of the outdoors. Find out the make-up trends that are in style for fall 2005.

Eyes

This fall's color palette is rich and earthy, with greens, grays and browns coming out on top. But the hottest color for fall is purple, and here's why you'll love it - from soft lavenders to intense lilacs and burgundies, there's a shade for everyone. For those of ya who are really color shy, ease into the purple by lining only your lower lashes. All of these fall eyeshadow colors will make your eyes pop, so keep things simple by going easy on the mascara.

Lips

While glossy lips are still in for fall, the big buzz is about red lipstick. Red lips bring us back to the '40s, when stars walked the red carpet with red lipstick and a whole lot of glam! Again, for those of you who don't think you can pull off this strong color - you can! With over 4,000 shades of red, it's just a matter of finding the hue that best matches your complexion.

Cheeks

Just cuz summer's over doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to your tan. Bronzers are still a must-have item for fall and can keep you looking "tanned" all season long. It's perfect for girls-on-the-go cuz your skin looks flushed and shimmery, even when you're wearing nothing else on your face. But the real beauty of bronzer is that it can be worn all over your face, as it doubles as a blush and an eyeshadow!
