Over the summer, I got a makeover/makeup lesson with the fabulous Diana Changanaqui of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. She talked to me about some of the top beauty trends for fall: metallics, nude lips with sheer color, smoky eyes and chrome–even on lips!
Chrome for eyes, I get. Diana used Bobbi Brown’s Metallic Long-Wear Cream Shadow in Chrome Patina on my eyelids and it looked stunning. Thankfully, she skipped the silver lips and went with a more natural pink. But over Halloween, I was a silver superhero one night so I figured what better time to try the trend.
A publicist sent me Rimmel’s Stir It Up cream shadow in No Way!, which I spread over my lids for the perfect superhero sparkle. I then put on clear gloss and pat loose chrome eyeshadow on my lips. I looked in the mirror and death stared back (Keep reading to see what I mean).
But that’s the beauty of trying makeup trends. If you hate them all you need is a wet wash cloth. I wiped the chrome off my lips, applied chrome to my nails (which guys hated by the way) and went off to my party.
