New York & London Fashion Week Fall Winter 2014: Beauty

By -
Two beauty trends have emerged so far in fashion week: androgyny and nontraditional eyeshadow. Nontraditional eyeshadow has involved unexpected colors like bright pink and modish placements of makeup. Androgyny, the much stronger of the trends, has taken the form of bleached brows, strong brows, boyish hair, and an overall nude face. For several shows, this has also meant comb overs. There has been little in the way of blush, lashes or bold lips.

You can imagine which of these trends I like best. As such, this gallery features the more interesting looks because you know exactly what no makeup and messy hair look like. We plebeians call it morning. Scroll through for glitter, Lorde fingers, and smudgy lipstick.

I find the imperfect lipstick, rosy cheeks and curls of the Vivienne Westwood show lovely. I tend to like slightly disheveled. Then again, it could also be considered the work of a five-year-old getting ready.

I also like the makeup at Vivienne Westwood. When I buy lipstick, I pay attention to how it smudges. Orange, by the way, is terrible for this because it looks like pasta sauce stains.

What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
