A/W 2009 The New Trends

Trevor O’Keeffe, Laura Mercier’s National make up artist
Red Lips: as seen at Lanvin
Why? I love the flawless complexion combined with a bold, red lip.
How? Many women are afraid to wear red because it’s a statement, however every woman can find a ‘comfortable’ red that they can wear. Prep the lip with Secret Camouflage and powder before applying colour. If you are not brave enough to try this statement look at first, try using a sheer lipstick.
Essential products for achieving this look:
Use Laura Mercier’s Cherrywood Satin lip colour, £18 (available October) to match the Lanvin look or try Truly Red lip colour, £18 available now. For something more delicate opt for Laura Mercier’s Hydratint, £16.50 in Crimson.

Bronze Goddess: seen at Chloe
Why? This look gives every woman a polished edge. It can be easily recreated and allows you to be experimental with bold, metallic lips which can be played up or down depending on the occasion. Perfect your backdrop: prep skin well so it radiates good health and take time to create a flawless finish.
How? Regular facials and a good skincare routine are key to elegant looks like this. I love Decleor , Darphin and Shiseido’s skincare and treatment ranges.
Essential products for achieving this look: If you are nervous about trying a bold lip, try Prescriptive’s Custom Blend Lipgloss, £20, (available at House of Fraser) to create a shade you are comfortable with and add a metallic finish.

Daniela Rinaldi, Beauty and Concessions Director, Harvey Nichols

Dramatic Eyes: seen at Versace, Dior and Chanel.
Why? Sexy and effortlessly cool, this look epitomises fashion’s current love affair with rock chic glamour.
How? Every winter dark, smoky eyes make an appearance. Blend kohl pencil and layer with heavy liner, liquid or pencil to achieve this look. Keep the rest of your make-up clean and low maintenance. Foundation, subtle blush and clear gloss pull the look together and won’t look ‘over-done’. Hair looks great pulled back in a ponytail or down in natural waves. Tidy brows compliment this look as focus is on the eye area.
Essential products for achieving this look:
Mac liner, from £12, Laura Mercier eye shadow, from £12 and Trish McEvoy mascara, £21, everyone always asks if I have false lashes on when I wear this mascara! All available at Harvey Nichols .

Jamie Roy, Beauty Editor for FabSugar UK

Deep pink eyes: as seen at Paul Costelloe and Prada
Why? This look strikes the perfect pretty/edgy balance.
How? The deep grenadine shaded eyes can be toned down for everyday or played up for evening. Typically we see hunter green, navy, plum and chocolate brown for autumn, so these pinks are a welcome change.
Essential products for achieving this look:
Try Nars’ Eyeshadow in Grenadines or Lulu, £15 each, blended into a smoky brown or grey eye for a super wearable look and an inventive take on a smoky eye - or wear alone if you’re feeling brave. A deep pink eye shadow can also double up as a blusher and lip colour when worn under a clear gloss.

Hannah Murray, International Make-up Artist

Individual Eighties: seen at Luella and Marc Jacobs
Why? This look is about embracing individuality and experimenting with 80s inspired bold shapes and colours.
How? Make sure you keep it simple and focus on only one or two features. Try a matte red lip, I use lip liner as it gives an intense, matte finish, teamed with navy kohl lined eyes. Skin should be pale and not heavily made up. Use a concealer where needed, with a light dusting of powder.

Essential products for achieving this look: Use Bobbi Brown’s foundation stick, £25,50, Nars concealer, £15.50, and Laura Mercier Translucent Powder, £28, to create a matte, flawless face. For lips Lancome Contour pro lipliner in 313 Magenta Velours, £17.50 and Estee Lauder Plummy Writer lip pencil, £13.70, are perfect choices.

Natural Hues: seen at Jaeger London and Celine
Why? This look is all about enhancing the natural tones of your skin and eyes.
How? Use foundation and concealer on blemishes and dark circles. A pale shimmer cream should be added to the natural highlights of the face - cheekbones, temples, inner corner of eyes, down the centre of the nose and cupids bow. Apply a wash of mushroom, cream eye shadow with a clear gloss on top and brown mascara. Dab a little concealer on lips and highlighter on the bottom lip.
Essential products for achieving this look:
This trend is about the complexion, so don't scrimp on your skin care regime. Dermalogica Microfoliant, £30.35, will get your skin in top condition and nothing makes you look more radiant than SKII Facial masks, £45.
Use face and Body Foundation, £22.51, by Mac , Touche Eclat, £23, by YSL at Harrods and Cream Colour in Luna, £11.74, by Mac to achieve that perfect complexion. ELLE loves Eyeshadow in Sable, £14 by Bobbi Brown for the mushroom eyes.
