Top Beauty Trends for Fall 2008

If you're a fan of old Hollywood glamour and neutral color palettes, Fall 2008 will be your favorite season for beauty trends. New York Fashion Week in February '08 put the spotlight on vintage Hollywood with bold lips, raccoon eyes, and even simple touches of pastel blue eyeshadow. When you're ready to update your look for Fall 2008, here are some of the top beauty trends, fresh off the runway:

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Super Red Pout
Cherry red lip stain made an appearance at the Marchesa presentation in New York, and bold red lips are here to stay. Skip the gloss and look for matted, rich stains that leave a lasting impression.

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Silver and White Eyeshadow
This look was captured on the Sass & Bide runway show at New York Fashion Week, and featured layers of silver cream and white eyeshadow with a simple black eyeliner. Layer this with neutral base colors such as brown and tan for a simple and elegant look.

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Raccoon Eyes
The smoky eyeshadow and cat eye look are giving way to a new look this year with this bold and sultry look. You'll need to use layers of kohl liner and eyeshadow up to the browbone to achieve this sophisticated look, and it's a great match for both dark and light-colored eyes. You can also add some shimmering shadow and sparkles to the eyelids for a frosted effect.

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Blue Eyeshadow
'Blue Iris' is the top color of choice for Fall 2008, and blue eyeshadow is making a comeback this Fall in both pastel and dark shades. Use it with black eyeliner and mascara for a bold and powerful look. Icy blue eyeshadow is another option for those who like a frosted style; pair this with raccoon eyes for another bold trend this season.

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Chiseled Cheekbones
Plump and rosy cheeks are giving way to super-high definition with the use of metallic colors and light bronzers instead of rouge and blushers. Add definition to cheekbones with matted makeup and subtle face powder sweeping upwards.
