Fall 2010 is no different than other seasons when it comes to trends; there is always something new, and usually… a bit strange.
It is certainly entertaining to look at trends for the newest season, but ….hardly ever do I pay much attention.
Mostly, what I find myself saying is “Hmmmm….and just who would really wear that look?”
Keeping current with makeup trends can be inspiring, prevents us from getting stuck in a rut with our makeup routines, and can keep…us …ahem…more mature women youthful. So, as silly as it may seem for new makeup trends to keep coming around, and yes they are designed to keep us buying new stuff…if we use them wisely, we can benefit from them.
So, I sorted through the latest and the greatest and here I share with you trends that real women can wear. Everyday.
Plums. Plums are big this season.
And that is a good thing, as plums come in all shades so most of us can find a flattering hue. In fact, if you look around, you will see plums in all the shop windows this season, keep your eyes open. Makeup is not the only item you will see sporting its’ purples.
