Top 15 Fall's Best Makeup Trends

While still a fall staple, slate nails take a backseat this fall as foil-like finishes and chunky flecks of gold update manicures this year.

It isn't just your face makeup that gets a fall makeover; your perfume should get a kick as well! Rock a slightly heavier scent than your summer perfume, like Chanel Coco Noir.

The biggest beauty trend this fall? Mulberry lips, of course!! Everyone from celebrities to runway models to the girl sitting next to you on the train are rocking this oh-so-in lip look.

Pack away the bronzer and say hello to this fall's hottest blush trend. Apply a sheer, flower-y shades that complements your skin tone without looking to costume-y.

Search "contour" on Pinterest, and you will find dozens and dozens of examples on the Fall 2012 runways of models rocking perfectly highlighted faces.

Just because you're trying to keep the attention on your lips, doesn't mean you should neglect the eye makeup all together. Nude eye shadows and highlighters will keep your orbs primped without letting them take center stage.

Deep hues aren't just reserved for your lips; wine-colored manicures are very big this season.

Whether your rocking a smokey eye or leaving your peepers a little more bare, your mascara should stay the same: long and natural, as opposed to extra full or spiky. Want something funkier? Sport a colored mascara.

Fall runways also saw a slew of fresh faces paired with collections by Dior and Michael Kors. Master this look with a light-weight powder foundation, highlighter, and just a hint of blush.

Not feeling the all-lips-no-eyes look? Fret not, smokey shadows are still in this fall. Multi-colored looks with shades of purple, green and slate can stand out best when the rest of your makeup is kept incredibly muted.

Pack the neon purple polish away with the rest of your summer makeup. This season calls for deep eggplant and sparkly plum manicures. Cult favorites: OPI's 'Vampsterdam' or 'Lincoln park After Dark.'

Harper's Bazaar shows us several examples of how full, well-groomed brows were a beauty statement on the Fall 2012 runways.

Have a sheer, summery gloss that you just bought? Layer it over your deep fall lip shades for a lacquered finish.

If the focus is on your lips and you feel too naked without SOME eye makeup, opt for cat-eyes. This season's inky black liners help to create the most flawless finishes.

Hunter green nail polish makes a statement this fall with bottles from everyone from OPI to Estee Lauder.

This is an interesting variation of the traditional 2 braided look. We like the perfect part down the middle and how this hair do adds to this lady's sense of mystery and allure.
