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.

Here are the weekly Sass, Style & Substance reads for the weekend of ***July 18th*** packed with great beauty, fashion, style and diet tips from some of the top top lifestyle bloggers!

I’ve pretty much been gaga over Shemar Moore since the first time I saw him as Malcolm Winters on “The Young and the Restless” in 1994 when I was much younger and used to love watching that soap opera because it aired just before my all time favourite:  “The Bold and The Beautiful“!

Alas, I no longer have time to watch the daily dramas and tribulations of my soap opera stars, but there is always time to gaze at the beautiful face of Shemar Moore

We all have our list of male celebrity favourites Shemar Moore tops that list for me alongside Brad Pitt (why? The man is perfect in every sense of the word), Pierce Brosnan (why? His blues, his accent and he’s charming beyond belief), Djimon Hounsou (why? His smile is arresting, his voice is like honey and that body is to die for) and Adam Clayton (why? The combination of his baby-blue eyes and that full silver mane is oh-so-sweet … let me add that the accent doesn’t hurt, neither does his love for art).

I’ll admit that I’ve seen “Dirty Dancing” far too many times, but let’s face it when it came out in 1987, it was THE movie to see. I also will admit to having been moved when I saw “Ghost” a few years later (it came out in 1990).  Like so many people, I had put Patrick Swayze in this “good old oldies” box and really didn’t think of him much past the huge success of Dirty Dancing.”

In January 2008, I was as shocked as everyone else when it came out that Patrick had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and that he was undergoing chemotherapy and other cancer related treatments to ensure that he beats that illness. I remember seeing photos of him looking so frail and fragile and nothing like the rebel Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing.

What is it with these 70s and 80s stars who are over 60, but look at least twenty years younger?

I’ll admit that learning that Grace Jones is almost 61 (she was born on May 19, 1948) was even more shocking than finding out that Olivia Newton John was also turning 61 this year.

There aren’t too many ex-models that can add singer and actress to their bio (other than Carla Bruni who can also add First Lady of France).

Grace can even add “Bond Girl” to her resume.

No but seriously, am I the only one who didn’t realize that Olivia Newton John turned 60 on September 26, 2008? We’re talking about the star of “Grease” and that “Let’s Get Physical” video?

Wow! I couldn’t believe it for a number of reasons. A few years ago Olivia Newton John fought and won her battle against breast cancer in the 1990s and we’ve seen her many times since then and she’s always in my opinion looked beautiful and ageless. It’s only the other day while surfing through the pages of my favourite British online newspaper (Daily Mail) that I took note of how many candles Olivia had recently put on her birthday cake! Daily Mail was doing a feature on Olivia because she had returned to her birth place of Cambridge (U.K.)

Christy Turlington is now 40 (born January 2, 1969)! The 1980s supermodel looks as flawless today as she did when I first saw her on the cover of my favourite fashion magazines as a teenager.

I’ve featured Christy as a Beauty Match Celebrity Pick a few times because I think she’s aging so well. I also am quite partial to the fact that she’s part Latina (as I never hesitate to highlight other compatriots and her mother was from El Salvador), but I’m really partial to the fact that she re-entered the modelling business in her late 30s and today in her 40s she’s the face of Roberto Coin jewellery, Chanel, Escada and Maybelline Cosmetics.  The mother of two (she has one boy and one girl with actor Ed Burns) is busier now than she ever was and she’s still the picture of perfection.

I was flipping through a magazine (I wish I could remember the name, but I read so many magazines each week … it can get a bit blurry) that featured a number of designers featuring some of their favourite things. Vera Wang was part of the list. It took me a while to register on her age because I was so focused on the things she liked and didn’t like. When I saw that she was 59, I gasped in disbelief because Very Wang doesn’t look like she even in her 50s to be turning 60 in 2009!

I always like to read about the biography of women who turned their lives around and achieved success later in life because it’s incredibly inspiring and it shows that anything is possible at ANY AGE!

I’ve only known Vera Wang as a bridal designer and more recently as a clothing designer with her new affordable (and quite recession-proof) line Simply Vera available at Kohl’s in US.

I haven’t got a clue as to why Elle Macpherson popped into my head a few days ago, but for some strange reason there she was occupying my thoughts. Could it be coincidence that I saw her on the red carpet event while watching one of those entertainment shows or was it simply a reminder that I need to write a post celebrating and glorious Elle looks at 44 (born 29 March 1964)!

If you were a teenager in the 80s, then you remember Elle Macpherson (born Eleanor Nancy Gow) as the leggy gal from down under who adorned the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues in the USA six times (the last time in 2006)! I also remember Elle very well from the many Vogue and Bazaar features because she has an unforgettable face and an unforgettable body.

Ladies, if Halle Berry is not proof that aging well is damn sexy … I don’t know who is?

I must thank my good friend Natasha for keeping me on top of this one, although the message got caught in my spam box.

I toyed with the idea of not featuring this since the whole world must have heard by now, but I L-O-V-E Halle and I think (from the outside looking in) she’s got the perfect life so I could not resist … I just HAD to feature this incredibly gorgeous 40-something.

Esquire magazine has never made a huge impression on me in the past, but this honour they presented to Halle makes me look at this men’s publication in a whole new light.

I’m terribly sorry for being a few days late on this monumental news, but the month of September has turned out to be one of the busiest and most hectic months on record.

I’m not complaining, because it’s all positive stuff, but it also means that I’ve not been able to post this last week as I had planned to do … as they say better late than never.

If you’ve not yet heard, Procter & Gamble has signed daytime TV host and Emmy-award winner Ellen DeGeneres to become the new face of CoverGirl makeup (her campaigns will be seen as of January 2009).

All week, Ellen’s guests have congratulating her on this major accomplishment. I personally LOVED when Benjamin Bratt (star one of my new favourite series called “The Cleaner”) said to Ellen: “You know what? You’ve got CoverGirl eyes” … I equally liked the way Ellen blushed!

Stephanie Seymour is part of the elite group of supermodels of the 1990s. That said, until recently Stephanie might be more remembered for her rocky and tumultuous relationship with Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose.

Her relationship with Axl Rose  has even trumped her nude appearance on the pages of Playboy! If you ask a few people around you, I bet a lot of people would not associate Seymour and Playboy.

Stephanie might have started her modelling career at 15, but she’ll certainly be remembered for being the ex-supermodel who became the body for Chantelle Paris lingerie. Today, at 40 this mother of four is still showing parts many women half her age would not dare show.

Padma Lakshmi might be known as Mrs. Salman Rushdie (she was married to the author between 2004 and 2007), but this cookbook author, actress, cooking reality TV judge (Top Chef) and former model is far more complex that just arm candy.

Padma is one of those women who simply stops traffic because she’s tall, exotic looking, beautiful, well mannered and incredibly stylish and chic. No wonder this former model walked the catwalk for some of the top designers: Alberta Ferretti, Emanuel Ungaro and Ralph Lauren. She’s also done ad campaigns for Versus and Roberto Cavalli; and she’s appeared on numerous magazine covers.

In a world where imperfection is seen as evil, Padma proudly displays her scar left behind by a tragic accident at the age of 14. She has a seven-inch scar on her right arm that is very to conceal or hide.

I was watching one of those late night entertainment shows I like so much when Cindy Margolis was featured as the July 2008 cover for Playboy magazine at 42 (she’ll be 43 in October)!

Now, this is not Cindy’s first Playboy cover. She also graced the magazine a few years ago at 41 in 2007 (Playboy’s Sexy 100) and in December 2006 just after turning!

I have to say that I was slightly puzzled by this triple win in her 40s because I had no idea Playboy was actually interested in women past the age of 28!
