Fall 2009 beauty and makeup trends
This fall you’ll notice the colour are more intense for fall 2009 makeup trends. I’ve noticed that many of the cosmetic lines are showing darker eyes and red lips. In some cases, we’ve seen the dramatic lips and the dramatic eyes paired together and in other cases models have been sporting dramatic eyes with nude lips and nude cheeks.
As usual, I’ve created a trend sheet so that you can have all the major make-up brands and the make-up trends in one easy and convenient spot!
I think for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, you’re going to have to play it by ear and I’d recommend you consults a makeup artist because dark lips and dark eyes might not look flattering. You might have to bring down the intensity on the eyes and play it off a medium dark lip.
I think a classic look that is always a winner for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s is the simple black eye liner, dark mascara and red lips. There are soooooooo many shades of red lipstick to chose from AND you can also opt for a sheer red lips stick that will give you the stain without the intensity.
1) Cover Girl Fall 2009 makeup trends: Pat McGrath has done it again! I’d say the most influential trend from Pat would have to be the dark dramatic eyes. It’s all very sexy! You know that with Cover Girl, you’ll be able to achieve the look without breaking the bank!

2) NARS Cosmetics fall 2009 makeup collection: Lolita Collection:
I can tell you that when I saw the Mekong Eyeshadow, I gasped. This is such a rich chocolate brown that will honestly look divine this fall. It’s a rich espresso that will be great with purple shades! Obviously, there is much more goodness from NARS in this collection. I also loved the Silk Road duo eyeshadow and the Brumes Duo eyeshadow. The Tokaido Express nail polish in an opulent blackened amethyst is divine! Simply put, I love the new fall 2009 collection from NARS!
3) Lancôme launches a new collection in collaboration with Aaron de Mey for the fall 2009 makeup collection
I adored my spring 2009 collection from Aaron de Mey and I can assure you that I’m not one bit disappointed by the fall collection. Fall is all about indigo and gold at Lancôme. In fact, they’ve translated that all the way to the nail polishes – they have one gold nail polish and an indigo blue nail polish! Lancome and Aaron de Mey picked Canadian model Daria Werbowy as the face of the new collection. This collection will surely suit women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s because you can wear a much less dramatic and intense look and still look incredible in Lancôme’s and Aaron de Mey’s “Declaring Indigo” collection!
Here’s a great backstage peak at Chris Benz applying Lancôme’s and Aaron de Mey’s “Declaring Indigo” collection on a model:
4) Christian Dior Jazzclub Fall 2009 makeup collection
The must-have of this entire Christian Dior collection is the compact eye shadow palette shaped like a chic handbag! This is not only the perfect everyday palette, but the perfect little kit for any business or leisure travel. Inside the bag are cream liner, brow powder, matte eye shadows, duo eye shadows in pearl and shimmering eye shadows. The bag also comes with two-tipped applicators: an eye shadow brush and a smudge sponge brush. Dior is pairing dark eyes with dark lips.
5) Givenchy Lip Gloss fall 2009 makeup collection
As a lipgloss junkie, I can tell you that I respect Givency for having the foresight to put out 15 new shades of lip glosses for the new season! Liv Taylor is the new face for the launch of Gloss Interdit line of 15 shades! If you love lipgloss as much as I do this collection will be like Nirvana for you!
6) Chanel Les Noirs Collection fall 2009 makeup
I could go on in details about how incredible the new Chanel collection is, but why not see it for yourself with these amazing promotional shots:
7) Dolce & Gabbana Romantic Collection’s Pinks fall 2009 makeup collection
This super feminine makeup collection by Dolce & Gabbana will turn heads! The Dolce & Gabbana Romantic Collection’s Pinks is comprised of the 13-piece collection for eyes, lips and cheeks. The colours range from subdued to bright and share the spotlight with a mix of other bright shades. Regardless of your mood, you’ll find a colour that you like in this collection!
#8) Bobbi Brown Ivy League fall 2009 makeup collection: I quite like Bobbi Brown’s eye gels because they have staying power. For fall 2009, Bobbi Brown is introducing a new shade to her collection – forest green! Bobbi Brown’s new Forest Shimmer Ink Long-Wear Gel eyeliner is perfect for the fall season and it will look stunning on hazel coloured eyes.
>>> Bobbi Brown Nudes Collection fall 2009 makeup collection: Along with a gorgeous new shade of eyeliner, Bobbi Brown is also introducing a new collection of nude shades for fall 2009. I think the collection will look incredible on fairer complexions, but I fear that darker skin beauties will need to look to other fall 2009 makeup collections that offer a bit more colour vibrancy. That said, Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick is always a great makeup item to have and if the shade of the Nude Shimmer Brick suit you, I’d highly recommend it!
9) YSL Yves Saint Laurent Beauty fall 2009 makeup collection
Yves Saint Laurent makeup has always been for me the ultimate luxury! I’m not going to pretend that I don’t know there is a recession and that most readers have surely cut back on their makeup purchases, but if you want to spoil yourself with one piece of luxury in your makeup case … YSL Beauty always does it for me!
The fall 2009 makeup collection is bold, assertive and feminine.
I have to say that the blue-grey nail polish is quite original. I’m not sure I’d actually go for it, but I’m sure it will be massively popular.
Take a look at these photos and tell me this collection is not amazing!
