Makeup Trends: What's In, What's Out

When it comes to beauty this fall, think simple and refined. Hair is soft and natural rather than ultra-styled. Makeup is pared down ‑- less fussy. And super-glossy lips have lost their luster. In a nutshell, too cute is out, and grown-up is in.

In: Naturally shaped brows. Brows should not be overly tweezed or severely shaped. They're in keeping with this season's more natural and subdued looks.
Out: Outrageously arched brows. Brows that are exaggeratedly shaped or overly filled in can appear pretentious.

In: A more matte visage. This season, the idea is to moderate the shine enough to give yourself a refined rather than a childlike look.
Out: A dewy visage. A super-dewy face is so summer.

In: Lighter lashes. One good sheer coat of black or brown mascara is all you'll need. It's just not about excess this season.
Out: Tons of mascara. It'll be back, but for now, keep it simple and elegant.

In: Cherry red lips. As seen on the runways: A sheer, cherry red lip color looks terrific on everyone.
Out: Bold pink lips: Hot pink seems too young to pull off fall's more adult style.

In: Letting freckles show. This season, let your lovely self be revealed. Put your foundation away and use only the sheerest lightly tinted moisturizer to even your skin tone.
Out: Covering up. Hiding your pretty skin goes against everything sincere!

In: Crimson blush with subtle sheen. Rosy red cheeks are back!
Out: Matte orange cheeks. Keep it real. Orange is too artificial looking!

In: Deep chocolate nail polish. Nails make a strong statement this fall. Deep-toned polish, such as chocolate browns and deep burgundies, will be big.
Out: Plain old pink. With this season's luxe fabrics -- velvet, suede, tweed -- plain pink nails just don't cut it.
