Fall is near and I have seen tons of makeup trends on the fashion runway. So many makeup artists played with dark and light this season. Pulling out pots of deep rouge and atmospheric ink one moment, and then working soft and neutral tones into the skin the next. Making a statement with a rich excess or sleek absence of color on lids, lashes and lips.

Speaking of lips I’ve seen so many lip trends for the fall seasons, and I can’t just choose one as my favorite. One of the lip trend that I like is the wine-stained lips. You can achieve this look with a good burgundy color like MAC’s ‘Dark Side’. Another lip trend that I love are the dark and earthy brown colors on the lips. You can achieve this look with any dark lipstick color like MAC’s ‘Cyber’ or you can tone It down a bit with an brownish red earth tone color like MAC’s ‘Fresh Moroccan’. Then I’ve seen the bright citrusy color lip trend with a good tangerine color like MAC’s ‘Moroange’ lipstick. And last but not least is the nude matte pink lip trend that I love. You can get this look by getting a nude color matte lipstick like MAC’s ‘Please Me’ and you are all set and done. I know MAC lipstick are $15 each, but you can use any cheap brand lipstick like NARS, Revlon, and Wet N Wild and find a color that best match the Fall trends. Now that you know how to achieve the Fall 2012 lip trend, just choose the one you like best and be fall fashion forward.

Just in time for Fall Season M·A·C Cosmetics and ’Van Vogue’ rapper Azealia Banks collaborate on her own shade of lipstick called Yung Rapunxel. The limited edition shade is a deep plum cream lipstick with an amplified, semi-matte finish named after Banks’ alter ego. In celebration of her limited edition lipstick with M·A·C, catch an exclusive performance by Azealia Banks at M·A·C’s Fashion’s Night Out.

MAC has a charity program called “Viva Glam” that donates tons of money to AIDS and HIV research and technology. They have been doing awesome things for  over a decade! Each year, MAC releases a limited edition lipstick and lipglass. Every cent of the profits from the two products go towards the MAC Aids Fund. (You can read about that more here.) There is a new celebrity “face” for each year and each new release by Viva Glam. Past divas include Missy Elliott, Lady Gaga, Fergie, and Dita Von Teese.

For 2012, Mac has announced that the celebrity face of Viva Glam is actually two faces… Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin! The sneak peek photo that was released looks amazing, and I am totally psyched to see what the new color of lipstick looks like.

Stay beautiful,

Sarah Doll
