Here are the six makeup trends for Fall 2009 that you won't want to miss:

One:
Youngblood CosmeticsWhen it comes to foundation makeup for Fall 2009, it's all about sheer color that allows natural skin to shine through: A natural, glowing appearance without a lot of time spent in front of the mirror. Check out the new Youngblood Hi-Def makeup for lightweight, oil-free formulas that perfect the skin but still look soft and natural. Or, you can learn how to make your own tinted moisturizer using your favorite moisturizer and loose foundation.

 

Youngblood picks:
Hi-Def
YB Primer

Two:
Green EyesWhen it comes to eye makeup trends for Fall 2009, go for rich earth tones that appear to have come straight from the forest. Think deep moss greens, luxurious golds and rusty metallics, plus smoky browns and warm greys. Look for dark colorsthat are matte and velvety in texture, with a touch of shimmer coming from those metallics.

Youngblood picks:
Pressed:
Zen, Gilded, Czar and Storm

 

Loose:
Haze and Cashmere

Three:
The cat-eye makeup that was popular in Fall 2008 is going to be modified for Fall 2009. Instead of following the retro-inspired swoop up of the days gone by, the cat-eye for 2009 is about making a horizontal line, without the upswing at the tail.

Youngblood picks:
Minerals in the Mist
Eyebrow Brush
Raven Loose Eyeshadow

TIP: Spray your Eyebrow Brush with Minerals in the Mist and press into your Loose Eyeshadow to create an instant liquid liner!

Four:
The natural eyebrow trend will continue through the end of 2009, so put the tweezers down and find yourself a nice, clear brow gel instead. Remember, a heavier brow can also make you appear younger, so letting those hairs grow back in serves two purposes.

Youngblood picks:
Brow Artiste Palettes

Five:
Contoured cheeks will be back. While spring and summer makeup for 2009 is all about a hint of color or a sheer wash of blush highlighting the cheeks, Fall 2009 will bring back the contoured, chiseled look. While it won't be dramatic, it will be just enough to allow those smoky eyes to be the center of attention.

Youngblood picks:
Tools:
Contour Brush

Loose Blush:
Cabernet Loose - back by popular demand!

Pressed Blush:
Bashful Pressed

Six:
Red Lips are Hot!Red lips make a powerful statement! It really is true that there's a perfect red out there for everyone! From matte to super vinyl, red lips are seen across every major fashion campaign. Can't do a blue-red lip? Use a brown or red-brown pencil instead to fill your lip before applying your lipstick to create a more burgundy hue.

Youngblood picks:
Truly Red liner and Vixen lipstick
