From London to Paris, there were two beauty trends that stood out during this fall/winter 2011-12 fashion shows. First off was a very natural, innocent fresh look, and the second was the glamour-chic look, which to this day woman around the world are trying to achieve in their own bathroom mirrors.

The natural look is a coordination of neutral shimmers and shades of peach and pink on the eyes, cheeks and lips. The glamorous look focuses on sultry browns to dark smoky eyes with a splash of colour to accentuate the eyes. Deep purple, blues and greens are the trend for eyes, and red-stained lips have not left us this season. Here are the best products to help achieve these fabulous wintery looks.

EYES
Buying a palette of four or five colours is the best way to get great value for your money. A palette will help you transition from your natural daytime look to a sexy, smoky eye for the evening by simply adding a darker eye shadow from your palette.

When buying a palette with natural tones, stick to browns, beige, taupe and champagne colours. These colours are perfect for creating that natural look. If the occasion calls for a smoky eyes, don’t just think of gray and black eyes. The trend is to add colours like purple, blue and green to your natural brown smoky eyes.

Tip: For a sultry, smoky eye, use a soft black pencil to create your look. After applying your eye shadow, line your eyes top and bottom with a soft eye pencil and blend with a small eye brush, creating beautiful smoky eyes.

TRY:

Create everything from a natural feminine look to a brown smoky eye using Guerlain Ecrin 6 Couleurs Eyeshadow Pallet in Nude, (£ 53.50, houseoffraser.co.uk). Dior 5 Couleurs Designer All-in-one artistry Palette in Pink Design 808, (£ 40, houseoffraser.co.uk) has a great silky smooth texture and it’s high in pigmentation. For the day you can create a beautiful natural purple eye and at night just add the darker tones for a smoky eye.

BLUSH
Natural pink and peach hues are great to complement your natural look, and when going glam, opt for a slightly darker natural hue.

TRY:
No makeup artist leaves the house without NARS Orgasm Blush (£ 20.50, narscosmetics.co.uk). It has an amazing natural shimmer and a perfect blend of pink and peach. We also love Chanel Joues Contraste ROSE PÉTALE 99 (£43, chanel.com), a perfect pink blush for your everyday natural look.

LIPS
Red lips are definitely back again and we’re loving the Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick in Incognito (£24.00, harrods.com)! Reds always look classical and glamorous at the same time just take look at the powerful ruby pouts seen at Jil Sanders, Giles and Miu Miu FW11-12 runway shows. If you feel that a solid red lip is too harsh for you, you can stain your lips by dabbing the colour on your lips with your fingers. Do this in stages until you’ve created your desired effect.
