Colors

The neons and ascorbic colors of summer are giving way to an interesting array of grays and blues. In fact, combining navy and black – a no-no in the old school of fashion – is trending this fall. You’ll see various ways of combining blue and black, but you’ll likely see stripes and lines (more on patterns below).

For whatever reason, colors seem to be calming down in 2012. Reflecting this, classic black is giving way to classic gray. Once a somewhat “stodgy” color, gray is coming back this year. Look for it in straight-lined, corporate-style clothes that present an air of sophistication.

Hot Hair Trends for Fall

What’s happening with hairstyles this fall? Stylists are looking at what the models are wearing on the catwalk to predict the hairstyles for 2012-2013. Here are some of the hot hair trends for fall 2012-2013.

“Boyish” Cuts

In 2012, the pixie cut was a little more flexible. You saw it worn with a longer top, and that longer hair can be worn up, down, spiked, slicked or loose. Another interesting pairing that you’ll see in 2013 is a boyish haircut with a very feminine outfit.

Once considered a “boyish” cut, the bob that came in this summer is still in for fall. Finger waves and pin curls are as trendy as ever, but these days it’s a lot easier to achieve with all the tools and products available. It’s a more feminine hairstyle than it was in the 20s and 30s, when women were moving from ultra-long hair to daring short styles. Still, it has a tomboyish quality that makes for a modern look that’s undeniably cute.

1. Prepare Your Skin

First of all, get your dry skin ready for make-up. This involves several steps.

* Wash your face with a moisturizing cleanser. Soap and other cleansers can increase dryness, so use a moisture-rich cleanser.

* Periodically, you’ll want to exfoliate your skin. Dry skin can cause flaking and scaling. Exfoliation helps remove these dead cells. You can use whatever exfoliant works for you, whether store-bought or homemade. Beauty experts caution against exfoliating every day, though – a couple of times a week may be plenty.
